Hi @Bill_123 ,

The NVRAM file 'brcmfmac43455-sdio.txt' is specific to the module being used. It will be provided by the Module partner. Are you using a muRata based 43455 module?

Thanks

Hi @Bill_123 ,

Can you ask Murata to provide the NVRAM file? After you get the file if you still see the same issue then please post the NVRAM file here.

Hi Bill,

I do not see the 'HT Avail timeout (1000000): clkctl 0x50' error in the new logs. Is that error resolved?

Do you see the wlan0 interface now after loading the driver?

Thanks

Dear raks_99,

I do not see the 'HT Avail timeout (1000000): clkctl 0x50' error in the new logs. Is that error resolved?

 --->I only add  NVRAM file in the system and not show it.

Do you see the wlan0 interface now after loading the driver?

--->Below is shown wlan0.

billwu_1-1633323851097.png

 

But when I used "wl ver",it is  shown "-sh: wl: command not found".

root@imx8mmevk:~/driver_5.4# wl ver
-sh: wl: command not found

Does it bring up for wifi ?

Hi Bill, the wl executable needs to be present in '/bin' or '/usr/bin' for the wl command to work.

Do you have the wl executable program with you? If not then can you tell me the output of 'uname -a' command so I can provide you the right program?

Thanks

Do you see the same delay every time you reload drivers?

Thanks

Dear Raks_99,

1.Do you see the same delay every time you reload drivers?

--->Yes.

2.Is this error causing the delay?

Hi Bill,

2. Is this error causing the delay? "board-specific NVRAM available (err=-11)"

>> Probably not because I too see the same message on my raspberry pi but there is no delay of 10 seconds. Let me check this on an imx8m setup and get back to you.

3. Could you provide your test NVRAM to us.

>>My test device was a RaspberryPi4, so this is the default NVRAM that comes loaded with Raspberry Pi OS. I do not recommend changing NVRAM since some critical parameters are configured in it so it is best to get the right one from the module vendor.

However, I do not think this delay is due to NVRAM. Let me check and get back

Hi Bill,

I observed the delay is constant 60 seconds for our other WiFi radios as well. I tested on EA IMX8M. Not sure of the reason but I think the driver is looking for the .txt file. I'll update you after I debug further.

Thanks
