01:33 <chewitt> looks like the only thing missing is BT .. which will be simple as the box has a Broadcom chip

16:51 <benoitm974> Hi Chewitt what would be the difference between the img you shared using the uenv x96-ait-4g with a compiled version of the kernel + the x96-air-4G from your github (https://github.com/chewitt/linux/tree/amlogic-5.11.y) ? Also I use a deboostrap from debian with broadcom non-free package.

16:51 <benoitm974> your img have wifi detected, your github compiled does not...

16:54 <chewitt> https://github.com/LibreELEC/brcmfmac_sdio-firmware

16:54 <chewitt> drivers need firmware

16:54 <chewitt> and nvram files

16:56 <chewitt> https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm64/boot/dts/amlogic/meson-g12b-w400.dtsi#L392-L405

16:56 <chewitt> ^ that should get BT working

16:56 <chewitt> again, with firmware

17:01 <chewitt> https://github.com/LibreELEC/brcmfmac_sdio-firmware/blob/master/brcmfmac4339-sdio.bin

17:02 <chewitt> and I think https://github.com/LibreELEC/brcmfmac_sdio-firmware/blob/master/BCM4335C0.hcd for BT

17:03 <chewitt> most of the Desktop distros have wifi/bt firmware for USB devices, or repackage the linux-firmware repo, which is missing lots of brcm things

17:03 <chewitt> esp. sdio devices

17:06 <benoitm974> The debian package has all the SDIO one:https://packages.debian.org/buster/firmware-brcm80211

17:09 <chewitt> does it have the nvram files ?

17:09 <chewitt> brcmfmac mmc0:0001:1: Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac4339-sdio.amediatech,x96-air-4g.txt failed with error -2

17:10 <chewitt> then it looks for brcm/brcmfmac4339-sdio.txt

17:10 <chewitt> (which is in my image)

17:11 <chewitt> if it doesn't find a board or generic nvram file, i'm not sure it works

17:11 <benoitm974> Yep you're right I was almost certain I've tried to provide a .txt nvram vut it is indeed not in the debian  :(

17:11 <benoitm974> thanks again

17:11 <chewitt> what's the manufacturer of your H96-Max box?

17:12 <chewitt> Shenzen Amediatech?

17:13 <benoitm974> Shenzhen Haochuangyi Technology Co.,Ltd

17:14 <chewitt> I'm guessing I'll have to add bindings for them :)

17:15 <chewitt> did you make any device-tree changes?

17:19 <benoitm974> Nope I've not touched dts et all yet your dts for the X96-air-4G map pretty well for now, I was trying the wifi yesterday

17:20 <benoitm974> And I'm still waiting for my ali express delivery of another box to see if it has gigabit to decide on wether I'll got with this one or not...
