Description
Pinet doesn't work because there is no wifi interface.
Notes:- PPP Schematic
- According to the schematic, the chip is AW-CM256SM which is both BT and WiFi.
- The DTS shows Bluetooth is brcm4345c5, but that appears to just be a BT driver, not WiFi.
bluetooth { compatible = "brcm,bcm4345c5"; .... }; - See also
- RockPro64 Hardware Tweaks for same Wifi chip
- Armbian Firmware supposedly supports the RockPro64 wifi.
- Cypress Linux Driver
See this discussion on the pine64.org forum. Apparently it uses similar firmware to the RPi, which is available from the Debian firmware-brcm80211 package.
On a Debian (based) system, install firmware-brcm80211 package and then do this: Code: cd /lib/firmware/brcm/ ln -s brcmfmac43455-sdio.AW-CM256SM.txt brcmfmac43455-sdio.pine64,rockpro64-v2.0.txt ln -s brcmfmac43455-sdio.AW-CM256SM.txt brcmfmac43455-sdio.pine64,rockpro64-v2.1.txt That should be all you need.
