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,

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:

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
