X96 Max Plus & X96 Air Q1000 ath10k working wifi dtb

[danboid]

I have got 2x X96 Max Plus TVBs, both with different wifi chipsets:

• X96 Max Plus with 4 GB RAM, 32 GB eMMC, AM7256 wifi, no BT

• X96 Max Plus with 4 GB RAM, 64 GB eMMC, ath10k wifi with BT

Using the current s9xxx jammy builds, I can get the internal wifi working with the AM7256, 32 GB X96 Max+ but the onboard wifi for the 64GB model with BT doesn't work with any of the 3 X96 Max+ dtb files that are currently included in this Armbian. However, the dtb included and configured by default in Slackware for the X96 Max+ does have working wifi when I boot it on the 64 GB ath10k X96 Max+.

Extra bonus!

I can also boot this image / dtb on my X96 Air Q1000 and get working wifi. I don't get working wifi when I boot any of the X96 Air dtbs currently included with s9xxx Armbian.

I should also note that the slarm 5.16 kernel works with my 4K display whilst the latest Armbian 5.15 kernel doesn't (but 5.10 does)

If it is ath10k, it should be compatible = "qcom,qca9377-bt";
But the code in the dtb you sent is compatible = "realtek,rtl8822cs-bt";

Did you replace this dtb with armbian and it can be used normally?

Take a few high-definition photos of the front and back of your motherboard, the soc chip, and the wireless chip and send them here.

I did also test BT on my X96 Air QW1000 and X96 Max+ w/ 64 GB eMMC but BT doesn't work so that is not the correct dts config for my BT but wifi does works.

I have attached heatsinks onto my wifi and SoC chips in my X96 Air so you can't see them but I have this photo of the same board that I found on the net.

The wifi chip used in my X96 Air Q1000 is a Cdtech 4761743 which is compatible with Qualcomm qca9377.

Is this dtb in your warehouse not available? you are ath10k.

[danboid]

I have tried using that dtb with Armbian before but it didn't work. It used to work with the Manjaro linux-aml 5.12 kernel. I should try it again with the latest kernel if the Manjaro linux-aml package still exists to see if I can get BT working again too.

Same question . I don't know what the value of this chip is

[danboid]

I've not tried those two meson-gxm-a95x dtb files in that thread but I can try them with my TVBs later.

That's great!

Great work @ophub !

I've got another cool armbian surprise for you later actually :)

[danboid]

I have tried doing a fresh install with on my X96 Air Q1000 with one of the latest Armbian builds and using the new q2 kernel and it booted and installed fine with all the network interfaces working.

I've never tried Slackware on my X96 so let us know how you get on with it please.
