Hi, does anybody know if the Debian kernel supports wifi on the imx6 soc? I have a cubox- i.
There are some indications in the Gentoo wiki https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Cubox-i#Wifi[1] (but it is not entirely clear if this applies also to a vanilla kernel) The kernel modules load without any error reported (there are few signs that they have been loaded) root@home:~# grep BRCM /boot/config-4.1.0-trunk-armmp # CONFIG_BRCMSTB_GISB_ARB is not set CONFIG_BRCMUTIL=m CONFIG_BRCMSMAC=m CONFIG_BRCMFMAC=m CONFIG_BRCMFMAC_PROTO_BCDC=y CONFIG_BRCMFMAC_PROTO_MSGBUF=y CONFIG_BRCMFMAC_SDIO=y CONFIG_BRCMFMAC_USB=y CONFIG_BRCMFMAC_PCIE=y # CONFIG_BRCM_TRACING is not set # CONFIG_BRCMDBG is not set # CONFIG_POWER_RESET_BRCMSTB is not set root@home:~# modprobe -v brcmutil root@home:~# modprobe -v brcmfmac root@home:~# lsmod|grep brcm brcmsmac 502520 0 cordic 907 1 brcmsmac bcma 38868 1 brcmsmac mac80211 512904 1 brcmsmac brcmfmac 216654 0 brcmutil 5581 2 brcmfmac,brcmsmac cfg80211 404032 3 brcmfmac,brcmsmac,mac80211 root@home:~# root@home:~# iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth1 no wireless extensions. root@home:~# One aspect I can see, which is different from images (e.g. openelec) which support wifi on the cubox-i is that they include not only .bin files in /lib/firmware/brcm, but als .txt files: root@home:~# cd /lib/firmware/brcm/ root@home:/lib/firmware/brcm# ls bcm43xx-0.fw brcmfmac43143-sdio.bin brcmfmac43241b4-sdio.bin brcmfmac4330-sdio.bin brcmfmac4335-sdio.bin brcmfmac4354-sdio.bin bcm43xx_hdr-0.fw brcmfmac43241b0-sdio.bin brcmfmac4329-sdio.bin brcmfmac4334-sdio.bin brcmfmac43362-sdio.bin root@home:/lib/firmware/brcm# ls *.txt ls: cannot access *.txt: No such file or directory root@home:/lib/firmware/brcm# logout rd@home:~$ Abgemeldet Connection to bc closed. rd@blackbox:~$ ssh openelec ############################################## # OpenELEC - The living room PC for everyone # # ...... visit http://www.openelec.tv ...... # ############################################## OpenELEC (official) Version: 5.95.3 cutv:~ # cd /lib/firmware/brcm/ cutv:/lib/firmware/brcm # ls *.txt bcm4329-fullmac-4.txt brcmfmac4329-sdio.txt brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt cutv:/lib/firmware/brcm # ls LICENCE.broadcom_bcm43xx bcm43xx-0.fw brcmfmac43241b0-sdio.bin brcmfmac4329-sdio.txt brcmfmac4335-sdio.bin brcmfmac4356-pcie.bin bcm4329-fullmac-4.bin bcm43xx_hdr-0.fw brcmfmac43241b4-sdio.bin brcmfmac4330-sdio.bin brcmfmac43362-sdio.bin brcmfmac43569.bin bcm4329-fullmac-4.txt brcmfmac43143-sdio.bin brcmfmac43241b5-sdio.bin brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt brcmfmac4339-sdio.bin brcmfmac43570-pcie.bin bcm4329.hcd brcmfmac43143.bin brcmfmac43242a.bin brcmfmac4334-sdio.bin brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin brcmfmac43602-pcie.ap.bin bcm4330.hcd brcmfmac43236b.bin brcmfmac4329-sdio.bin brcmfmac43340-sdio.bin brcmfmac4354-sdio.bin brcmfmac43602-pcie.bin cutv:/lib/firmware/brcm # Many thanks, Rainer -- Rainer Dorsch http://bokomoko.de/ -------- [1] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Cubox-i#Wifi
