BBAI64 Kernel 6.12.53 PCIe not working for Intel AX210 & AX201

General Discussion
1

Hello, I realized that the 6.12.x kernel don’t work with the Intel WLAN AX210 & AX201 anymore. Kernel 6.6.53 works off the shelf. To verify I just downloaded BBAI64 Debian 13.2 2025-11-25 Minimal Flasher (v6.12.x-ti). After flashing booting fails with the attached boot-log

BootLog-Debian13.2-2025-11-25-MinimalFlasher.txt (81.8 KB)

Any hints on how to solve this?

Best regards,
Bernd

thanks for reporting this.. for the last month I’ve been re-ordering other modules, figured it was just something wrong with my board..

So no i need to git bisect and see where it broke..

i think it might be ‘rt’… i hope not.. that was a huge change in v6.12.x…

Pretty sure, the main fix is… CONFIG_SOCIONEXT_SYNQUACER_PREITS=y after a few dozen tests… i need to spend some time retesting everyting but yeah…

Hello Robert - wlan works now! Thanks a lot for fixing it.

I detected an issue with linuxptp which is not around in 6.6, but I need to dig further into it… I will keep you updated! (With linuxptp I achieve synchronization of the bbai64 to a time master better than 100ns peak)

Thanks a lot for helping!
Best regards,
Bernd
