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 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>

** "Armbian Firmware":https://github.com/armbian/firmware supposedly supports the RockPro64 wifi.

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.
