TV-box TX95. Wi-Fi module AP6330

[dmotkan]

Hi , devmfc .
TV-box T95W2. Amlogic S905W2 . Wi-Fi module AP6330 insaide, under the lid , Broadcom bcm4330 .
https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=1076147&view=findpost&p=128251554
Is it possible, with this information, to make Wi-Fi support in Armbian for this TV box?

[dmotkan]

In order not to multiply topics, I will ask an additional question here.
Problem with the latest build release. It is not possible to install additional packages on the SD card because the system reports that the disk is 709 MB in size and is full. However, the partition size is 7701 MB. I don't understand what the problem is. Maybe there is a quota set for /root somewhere? This was not the case in previous releases. I didn't find a quota in /etc/fstab.
Here is the console output.

The rootfs filesystem did not expand properly during first boot.
Maybe the first boot was interrupted by a reset or power cycle or crash?
Try to flash the sd card again and try again.

This is NOT an Armbian image.

[dmotkan]

This is NOT an Armbian image.

Yes, this is a slimbox for Android. The Armbian recording script on emmsi gives errors when trying to record. Multiboot installation occurs without errors.

Interesting point. Re-flashed for slimbox TV box does not boot from the armbian SD card in the TV box's card reader without pressing the reset button. But, if you boot once from the same SD card, via a USB card reader, and then insert the SD card into the card reader of the TV box, then the Armbian is loaded without a reset. That is, some kind of configuration is registered in the u-boot.

Try to flash the sd card again and try again.

Yes, apparently it crashed on the first boot. Thank you

[devmfc]

I think you misunderstood. What I meant was that my images are NOT Armbian.
They are plain Debian or Ubuntu.

Furthermore, my images assume there is a stock bootloader present. I don't know which bootloader Slimbox uses.

[dmotkan]

Thank you. I'll try to roll back to the factory firmware and repeat the steps. On slimbox firmware, the bootloader is guaranteed to be unlocked.

Upd.

Unfortunately, with the factory firmware things are even worse. The TV box only boots after a reset. Emmc is not in the list of /dev . Scripts not work. Most likely the bootloader is locked. The bad thing is that the number of recording cycles for external SD card is limited.
Is it possible to somehow get feathers on emmc at least with a root partition ?

[dmotkan]

It's not a locked bootloader issue. Coreelec is flashed in emmc instead of factory firmware.

Coreelec on emmc . Boot from Ubuntu on SD-card.

brcmfmac4330 doesnt come with clm_blob file.... but its ok for me

you can try but change amlogic,p212 because im using s905x chipset...
check your dmesg

hope this will solve your wifi problem

I tried it on T95W2 even before your post appeared, but wi-fi/bt did not work.
