[firmware-raspberrypi] Rpi 400 wifi drivers are missing

[graysky]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('msa', 'B')luetooth stopped working on my rpi4 and rpi3 when I installed 20201224-1. Reverting to firmware-raspberrypi-6-1 made it come back.

You may have to pick and choose the FW versions.

[msa]

On the aarch64 kernel, running bluetoothctl "power on" is all you need.

On the armv7 kernel you must run btattach to start bluetooth. This is the service file I start as btattach@ttyAMA0.service:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[msa@hipi3 ~]$ cat /etc/systemd/system/btattach@.service
[Unit]
Description=Bluetooth attach daemon (interface-specific version)
BindsTo=dev-%i.device
After=dev-%i.device
Before=bluetooth.service

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/btattach -P bcm -B /dev/%I

[Install]
Alias=multi-user.target.wants/btattach@%i.service
')

The BT hiccups are most noticeable with a keyboard. I tried three different models: one would not connect at all, the other two stutter and stick. I think the controller is skipping messages; btmon tells me there are distinct events for key press and key release.

My BT mice appear to be OK.

[graysky]

Adding that btattach@.service manually is lame. Not documented anywhere. In any case, I can confirm the updated firmware does not work on my end. Under 6-1, a microsoft 6000 keyboard paired and worked. Under 20201224-1:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
Agent registered
[CHG] Controller DC:A6:32:XX:XX:XX Pairable: yes
[bluetooth]# power on
Failed to start discovery: org.bluez.Error.NotReady
')

I restored the legacy versions and just added the RPi 400 stuff (I think). Someone with a RPi 400 will need to confirm.

[msa]

I installed 20201225-2: bluetooth works again. Thanks.

About this btattach lame business:

The aarch64 kernel creates an internal fe201000.serial/serial0 device and this is good enough for bluetooth. This is also good enough for me -- I switched to aarch64 a while back.

The armv7 kernel exposes a f201000.serial/tty which requires some user space way to connect the bluetooth daemon to the controller at the other end. I am not 100% certain why we have an external tty -- probably something to do with uart0 doubling up as a serial console in the 32-bit kernel.

To this day the pi-bluetooth aur package uses 'hciattach', which is deprecated. This is why I suggested 'btattach'.

Would you be willing to try the latest firmware version from upstream and report back for me?

Build it from here: https://github.com/graysky2/PKGBUILDs/t ... aspberrypi

I'm having the same problem on RPi3.
Neither Bluetooth nor Wifi work.

Since I got no feedback from 2 months ago, I assume things are fine. Can you try the PKGBUILD I referenced and report back?

It's not working

Please confirm:
1) If you freshly installed the firmware, I believe that a reboot is required to initialize elements from them.
2) The current repo packages do NOT supply you with a functional BT or Wifi?
3) The older experimental build at my github repo does NOT supply you with a functional BT or Wifi?

[jyno]

1) Confirmed.
2) Confirmed.
3) Confirmed.
