Zero 2 W support

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('alteriks', '@')graysky Would you be so kind and tell me about main differences between those two kernels? If you could share a link it would also be fine.

[alteriks]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('tazinblack', 'I')s there any chance to put the missing driver onto the sd card with my notebook and install it afterwards from the system itself?

[alteriks]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('graysky', 'Y')ou should not need any hack and it is armv8 so should run aarch64 fine. Just put an aarch64 image on the media, chroot into it, update it, then put it in your zero 2 and it should work. Can you try this and report back please?

[tazinblack]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')f you are in a hurry you could just mount /boot partition from sdcard and put three files:

Code: Select all
alarm% ls -l /usr/lib/firmware/updates/brcm/brcmfmac43436-*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 413934 Nov 4 14:22 /usr/lib/firmware/updates/brcm/brcmfmac43436-sdio.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11209 Nov 4 14:22 /usr/lib/firmware/updates/brcm/brcmfmac43436-sdio.clm_blob
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1613 Nov 4 14:22 /usr/lib/firmware/updates/brcm/brcmfmac43436-sdio.txt


from https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware- ... aster/brcm

Thanks for your help

Very confused now, put fresh install on sd card, fired up my zero w and then updated system... once done powered off. Put card into zero 2 w and nothing, still unable to ssh in. Must be doing something wrong, wither wring image file or something different.

@tazinblack
Could you explain what you did exactly? You said first try didn't work, and after that you copied the files to the exact same location again like @alteriks said and rebooted?!

I downloaded the image you mentioned
http://os.archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-rpi-4-latest.tar.gz
installed properly, boot was no problem.
After boot i copied the files to /usr/lib/firmware/updates/brcm/
i get this from dmesg

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'dmesg |grep brcm
mmc1:0001:1: Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac43436-sdio.raspberrypi,model-zero-2.txt failed with error -2')

what is strange. Im far from an expert but there is no mention of model-zero-2.txt anywhere. Not in the files nor the directories.

I did this like 10 times now. Copied the files to /usr/lib/firmware/brcm directly, still same error.

[MrGreen]

So I need a different image? Maybe why it is not working.... let me check downloads section

[MrGreen]

I am dumb sometimes .... put pi4 image on sd card, fired up my pi 4B and am now updating image...

Fingers crossed////

[MrGreen]

Using Raspberry 4 image in Pi Zero 2 W it now boots and I can ssh into it....
