[BPI-R64] mt7622 mac80211 WiFi driver

there are two tables above, tx0-4 is in the first picture.

It is true that other people gave me incomplete information, and there is no 5G configuration. I don’t know where the four antennas are.

aahh.image is stripped off (goes till 0x1e)…i have to click on it to see all.

this is the information I obtained in the discussion group. I will ask if there is any other information to provide to you. In addition, do you have debian wlan0 test code? AP and client. I use hostapd -B /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf to report errors. I don’t have these configurations yet.

interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
ssid=mt7622

root@MT7622:~# hostapd -B /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf 
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

I have only ap-code ready (2g4 and 5g,for r2,but you only need to replace iface names)

Have not tried yet with mt7615/mt7622. Mt7615 is currently in my r2 (added antenna on wf3 today so i can test 2g4 and 5g). with and without the firmware-file i got a driver own failed…

without i see this:

looks like the error message is added by this patchset: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg200710.html

i cannot start AP on wlan0

Could not set interface wlan0 flags (UP): Input/output error                                                                                                 
nl80211: Could not set interface 'wlan0' UP

i still have the rfkill-option active (softdep rfkill pre: mt7622)

tried 5.9-main (without the eeprom-patch), same result

seems like it is the rfkill-issue again… i loaded rfkill-module before mt7615e and then i got the firmware-load and can start hostapd

i tried to change the rule because driver-module is named mt7615e instead of mt7622m same result (after reboot). directly after boot i get the driver own failure, if i unload the module and load again, i get the firmware-info…maybe mt7622 is blocked some time

mt7622-wmac 18000000.wmac: N9 Firmware Version: _reserved_, Build Time: 20190801210351

rfkill is loaded on boot, maybe the wlan0-interface in /etc/network/interfaces blocks…removed it so network is started completely, but same

btw. it looks like the eeprom does not get loaded…(ok-message is wrong because on err there is only ret-var set, but not returned). i added the len in brackets to see difference

imho the len is wrong, it is passed to function so i guess it’s the size of full eeprom and sobuffer needs to initialized with zeros till len and then overridden with file-data (or filled after last file-byte)

but i get the same values second time i insert the module…but then initialization succeeds

@nagi have you an idea why driver own failes the first time (also without eeprom-patch - 5.9-main)? without the patch (revert 894b7767ec2fc21574775c354ab5350e51c2171c) i get this:

 mt7622-wmac 18000000.wmac: Timeout for driver own

Could you try to uncheck “Bluetooth subsystem support” in make kernel_menuconfig?

Networking support --> < > Bluetooth subsystem support

Indeed ret does not return, I have modified the above code. You try again:

static int
mt76_get_of_file(struct mt76_dev *dev, int len)
{
	char path[64]="";
	struct file *fp;

As i have compiled bluetooth-support as module i can try to unload it before loading mt7615e module. Should be same,right? bluetooth-module can’t be unloaded…still in use (have unloaded all depencies (mtkbtuart)), but still in use…i guess bluetooth-daemon blocks it. need to drop the revert so i compile and install again without bluetooth.

same result:

@skype, which problem do you mean? i have only the problem with eeprom, where len is larger than the eeprom-file

Indeed ret does not return, I have modified the above, and I provide my test environment:

I don’t understand your above operations very well, because I always ask you for advice and Google search for wifi configuration. You see if you can get close to my test method so that I can help you solve some problems。

I have not used rfkill, nor have I installed it yet. This means that after my configuration starts, I can directly search for wireless AP signals. I provided screenshots.

I will provide my two bin files again, it seems there is no problem at present.

eeprom.c (2.7 KB) mt7615e_rf.bin (1.2 KB) mt7622_wmac_rf.bin (1 KB)

I have found no fatal problems in my current test!

I tested only mt7622 and used eeprom-file from first post of this thread. But also without modifying eeprom.c i have the driver own issue. With bluetooth i can unload mt7615e module and reload it to get it working. Without bluetooth i got always the driver own issue

Could you try my 5.9-mt76eeprom branch to have same config? My buster rootfs is prepared to test bluetooth too,so i have installed those tools.

No problem, I will test it next week. Can you provide your configuration, and I will refer to your config for testing.

you mean my hostapd-config? (works only if not driver own issue appears)

#ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
#ctrl_interface_group=0 # These 2 are just parameters so that the hostap daemon runs.

interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211

my kernelconfig:

https://github.com/frank-w/BPI-R2-4.14/blob/5.9-mt76eeprom/arch/arm64/configs/mt7622_bpi-r64_defconfig (currently with disabled CONFIG_BT, which is set to m in defconfig)

maybe any patch in my tree may break wifi? these are for bluetooth on r64

  • 8b3ed61bb312 bluetooth: firmware: add mt7622 bluetooth firmware
  • d43115dd13d6 arm64: dts: enable bluetooth-node
  • f92108b7acfa tty: serial: don’t do termios for BTIF

the rfkill was previously used to fix the semaphore-issue: [BPI-R64] mt7622 mac80211 WiFi driver

i guess pcie and switch-changes does not affect wifi. strange that you don’t get the ret<len error…

i tried 5.8-main and there firmware is loaded the first time (no driver own issue)…so something is changed till 5.8 and 5.9 causing this issue

@skype which kernel did you use (5.9+)?

I am using linux 5.4.72, your branch.

Ah,ok, i got the driver own issue only on 5.9+,maybe the len-issue is also only there

in my 5.4 i see the semaphore-problem again (imho this was because bluetooth/rfkill)

mhm, failed is because file is named “mt7622-wmac_rf.bin” instead of “mt7622_wmac_rf.bin” (seems filename differs between 5.4 and 5.9)…modulename is in 5.4 (mt76_new) also mt7622 and not part of mt7615e

so eeprom-load on 5.4 works if CONFIG_BT is disabled…else i got the semaphore-error. on 5.9+ i got the driver-own issue and eeprom load failed because len is too big (eeprom-size differently in eeprom_init)

@nagi have you an idea about the driver own issue? It seems not related to bluetooth (like semaphore issue on 5.4).

Mhm,found this https://github.com/openwrt/mt76/issues/438#issuecomment-688114445, but it’s not compatible with my 5.9 source…seems there are Patches missing. but it looks like 5.9.3 has the patch already… => driver own issue fixed in 5.9.3…still have the different len problem…

drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7615/eeprom.c:75:	ret = mt76_eeprom_init(&dev->mt76, MT7615_EEPROM_FULL_SIZE);

it looks like this calculation has changed a bit with dc7bd30b97aa (mt76: mt7615: fix EEPROM buffer size), but was also larger than 1k

on entering the mt76_eeprom_init-function i have a len of 19880, so we cannot check again the len…maybe it’s better to check for filesize after read and then fill eeprom-buffer with 0x00

DEBUG: Passed mt76_eeprom_init 127 len:19880

the ret=len imho only works for mtd, if the mtd-partition has same size as eeprom

added a filesize-function and compared the loaded bytes with its return-value…now i got read ok

as i see all have 4 bytes (first 54Mbit,channel1-6,7-10,11-14 as delta). i guess i need to set only the position you’ve mentioned…with delta-bytes=0 all should have same tx-power,right?

is the value directly the dBM (like comment mentiones)?

the defined value 00100110 is then 38dB (in eeprom-file too for all 4 antennas) which seems wrong to me…(26 in front of the line is hexadecimal representation). what is suggested (imho ~21dB) or max value?

also it looks like the eeprom also contain MACs for BT and both ethernet-ports (full mt7622 eeprom)

0x26 decimal is 38, I guess it should be: 38 * 0.5 = 19dBm, the other three parameters should be fine-tuned, so just leave it alone.

I think there should be a Bluetooth address set. I haven’t debugged Bluetooth there. I am not familiar with it. I think I still need to ask you for advice in the future.

why this calculation? or did you get -19dB with the value of 38?

is there an easier way to get the filesize? see my repo i linked before for my current implementation

for bluetooth i did not much except adding some patches, installed bluez and made some basic tests with bluetoothctl

@nagi is there a way to fix the semaphore-issue on (my) 5.4 without disabling CONFIG_BT? i have still the modprobe-config which loads rfkill before mt7622

The power values are in unit of 0.5dBm in registers.

This happens because both wifi and bt share some parts in the wbsys, I haven’t dived into this issue yet.

could you try kernel from my tree? change in build.conf board to bpi-r64 (remove # ), run

  • ./build.sh importconfig
  • ./build.sh

in mainline-kernel bluetooth is not working, at least because the scpsys and tty-patch is missing

or use kernels compiled from travis (github-releases)

Btw. I read that set_fs will be limited in 5.10 for some architectures because it can be a security hole. Is there any way to get the filesize without it?
