thanks testing, the wl18xx can be picky at times with older firmware…

Update just the kernel to match your log…

sudo apt update
sudo apt install bbb.io-kernel-4.19-ti-am335x

Regards,

Edit 2… forgot how buggy connman is… care to try Bullseye with systemd-networkd… Debian 11.x (Bullseye) - Monthly Snapshots

I tried those commands to update beaglebone

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install bbb.io-kernel-4.19-ti-am335x

So this is not enough ?
What solution can you suggest ?
Beaglebones are in remote places

7

Yeap, normally that’s perfectly fine, the issue your using an old image…

Thank you for your help :smile:
I will look at those wlcore versions

9

Please try:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install --only-upgrade bb-wl18xx-firmware
sudo reboot

and give it a test, this backs the firmware back to wlcore: firmware booted (Rev 8.9.0.0.83) which is the version in linux-fimware today so the most tested…

Regards,

10

Hello, so I tried those commands

sudo apt update
sudo apt install --only-upgrade bb-wl18xx-firmware
sudo reboot

and

11

before those commands

[   70.470952] wlcore: PHY firmware version: Rev 8.2.0.0.245
[   70.520247] wlcore: firmware booted (Rev 8.9.0.0.88)

maybe I can somehow specify version with that update ?

12

Yes I moved it to an even older version…

So does it solve the issue or not?

13

Nope, nothing changed

14

So maybe it’s possible to bring back this version: Rev 8.9.0.0.83 ?

15

I’m working on a quick gui…

But for now…

open:

/etc/default/bb-wl18xx-fw

and change:

WLFW=wl18xx-fw-4-8.9.0.0.79.bin

to

WLFW=wl18xx-fw-4-8.9.0.0.83.bin

and then run…

sudo apt install bb-wl18xx-firmware --reinstall

Sample log:

Okay, gui is now up…

sudo apt update
sudo apt install --only-upgrade bb-wl18xx-firmware

Then run:

sudo bb-wl18xx-select-fw

Is it possible to get this version ?

8.9.1.0.0.

19

I can add it… BUT… i haven’t figured out what TI means by:

“IMPORTANT!!! the new firmware mandates upgrading to the latest driver (bundle).”

‘bundle’… not sure what git repo that is to represent…

Edit, and pushed out…

added…

8.9.0.0.89
8.9.0.0.90
8.9.1.0.0

Regards,

Thank you, I will try those versions
