Add support for Z83 mini-pc to HAOS

[jonsenior79]

Describe the issue you are experiencing

The Bluetooth and wifi adapters on the Z83 do not work under HAOS. To get them working under debian, a few non-free firmwares needed to be installed. Looking at the contents of /lib/firmware the broadcom files appear to be there, but there are some missing softlinks.

The following exert from dmesg shows the errors for the sst_acpi firmware and the brcmfmac firmware. Firmware brcmfmac43455-sdio is already on the system but there's no matching softlink. I've not checked for the sst_acpi one as I can't easily test by adding files to a live system.

What operating system image do you use?

generic-x86-64 (Generic UEFI capable x86-64 systems)

What version of Home Assistant Operating System is installed?

6.6.46-haos

Did the problem occur after upgrading the Operating System?

No

Hardware details

Z83-V (I believe it's a chinese-made Intel NUC clone). Intel Atom 4-core processor. The wifi+BT chip is an AP6234.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Install HAOS onto device!

I'd like to help with producing a PR for this, but I'm not quite sure how to go about testing. I understand that few people probably have these boxes, but it's a little silly to buy a BT adapter when they not only have integrated BT, but it is known to work under a Debian / Supervised HA installation.

[sairon]

I'm afraid I'll disappoint you - with firmware, we are quite conservative, because the space reserved for the rootfs partition is limited, especially on generic-x86-64, so we can't afford adding all firmware files that are available from packages on other distributions. Since the device you want to support is rather an uncommon one, and it's even less performant than an RPi 3, it's not very convincing this is the case where we should prioritize adding the files needed for it.

I think you've picked the wrong lines from the boot log - the brcmfmac errors are shown because there's no specific firmware files for your board, but in the end I think the card should initialize - but this is just the WiFi driver, not BT. You can compare this to another distribution where more firmware files are available. For the Bluetooth, there's a way to add the files using the method described in #2222. Same should be applicable to the audio firmware, which is also rather an exotic one. Otherwise, I'm sorry but closing this request as a wontfix for the reasons written above.
