Tanix Tx9 Pro(S912) add Wifi driver

[Smim0]

Hi,

The image is working just fine for Tanix Tx9 Pro but no wifi at all, I think the driver is missing. I think it is the same issue as in here the devices are also very similar

Thanks

What is the NIC chip of this device? Do you have any photos?

Does it support writing to emmc? Which option did you use?

Can the LED screen light up? armbian-led 19

cat /etc/ophub-release
cat /boot/uEnv.txt

The NIC shows: AP6255 BT1123001 1809

Installing to emmc works just fine, I used option 204

here is the output:

[PATCH] ARM64: dts: meson-axg: enable AP6255 wifi module
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAOi56cXKmv_Us1wDcMOYbdjFzZcLVu_t210Yrv891wKi22hV8A@mail.gmail.com/T/

Can the ap6255 wireless driver be used? Let me ask unifreq, and then reply to you

[ophub]

Just consulted. This driver is supported, but there is no wireless module in this DTB. When he has time, he will add a dedicated DTB to this device.

[Smim0]

Amazing, thanks btw for having these images available

[ophub]

meson-gxm-tx9-pro.dtb.zip

After decompressing, get the dtb file, upload it to the /boot/dtb/amlogic directory, change the dtb name(meson-gxm-tx9-pro.dtb) in the /boot/uEnv.txt and /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf files, and restart the test after changing

[Smim0]

IT WORKS!!! Thank you very much, as a workaround I have edited /usr/sbin/armbian-install to include a line with the dtb and I can confim that it installed to emmc succefully

Thank you very much for the quick response
