Thanks for your work.

Rtl8822cs wireless has been added. Yesterday, salsabilng reported that his device could use wireless. This drive comes from a third party and is not very stable.

See the document for the use of led：

Hello @ophub ,
Salsabilng talks about Rtl8822cs module, in my board it's a w522a (W150S1) wifi module.
I tried the coreelec firmware.

The wifi works for CoreELEC-20.0-Nexus_rc2

The driver name is w1-aml.
https://github.com/CoreELEC/w1-aml
Modules "aml_sdio.ko" and "vlsicomm.ko" are loads.
But no Bluetooth.
See dts file line 2813.

I hope it can help you, thanks for your work.

coreelec is Android, which is different from armbian. Armbian uses the mainline kernel, and Android drivers cannot be used.

Ok, thanks for your answers and thanks again for your work. ;)

Hi @Orefie , may I ask if your box with W522A Radio Module can obtain wifi connection?

If so, please tell me which dtb files you used for the setup?

I think we're both having a headache with this module.

Hi @trvqhuy,
The tests on my TVBox 2101W,
Android aosp Slimbox : Wifi 2.4, 5G OK, Bluetooth NOK, Eth OK.
Coreelec : Wifi 2.4, 5G OK, Bluetooth NOK, Eth OK. (sm1_s905x3_4g_1gbit.dtb)
Armbian : Wifi 2.4, 5G NOK, Bluetooth NOK, Eth OK. (meson-sm1-x96-max-plus.dtb)
If it helps you. ;)

Thanks @Orefie for your information ;)

Curiously, my X96Max_Plus_2101W is very similar, but not identical: the soc, RAM/LAN/radio, board label are the same, but the board is not identical, e.g. the thing before the LAN controller (ethernet magnetic transformer?) is different; mine is G2406S.

meson-sm1-x96-max-plus.dts does not boot for me at all, while meson-sm1-x96-max-plus-q1.dtb does.

Ethernet doesn't work for me (and I can't debug it, as the TV is far from the router:) I used Armbian_23.05.0_amlogic_s905x3_bullseye_5.15.112_server_2023.05.18.img.gz. @Orefie, care to share which image worked for you?

(the (lack of) wireless driver for W522A/W150S1 is discussed in #566)
