Bug #1137

Updated by Hammel 7 months ago

Pinet doesn't work because there is no wifi interface. 

 Notes: 
 * "PPP Schematic":https://files.pine64.org/doc/PinePhonePro/PinephonePro-Schematic-V1.0-20211127.pdf 
 * According to the schematic, the chip is "AW-CM256SM":https://www.azurewave.com/img/wireless-modules/AW_CM256SM_DS_Rev15_CYW.pdf 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. 
 <pre> 
     bluetooth { 
         compatible = "brcm,bcm4345c5"; 
         .... 
     }; 
 </pre> 

 See this discussion on the "pine64.org forum":https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=16635&pid=117061#pid117061.    Apparently it uses similar firmware to the RPi, which is available from the "Debian firmware-brcm80211":https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/firmware-brcm80211 package. 

 <pre> 
 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.
