Hi all,
I’m trying to bringup wifi and bluetooth on dragonboard 410c. ubuntu core image was built using linaro kernel by applying ubuntu core patches on top of it.Board booted succesfully,ethernet is working fine but not wifi and bluetooth. corresponding firmware and modules were present under /lib on root file system. what i observed was wifi module hasn’t loaded.manually with modprobe, module has loaded but still wlan interface not showing up.can anyone help me on this?
Regards…
do you have any log output from the time when loading the module (dmesg and syslog) ?
(bluetooth will work just fine using the bluez snap from the store, but IIRC the driver is a combined module for WLAN and BT so you need to get this working first …)
Hi,
Below is the output of syslog corresponding to wlan for snappy image
a204000.wcnss supply vddcx not found, using dummy regulator
remoteproc2: a204000.wcnss is available
remoteproc2: Direct firmware load for wcnss.mdt failed with error -2
Below is the syslog of linaro image(wifi working case)
a204000.wcnss supply vddcx not found, using dummy regulator
remoteproc2: a204000.wcnss is available
Direct firmware load for wcnss.mdt failed with error -2
remoteproc2: powering up a204000.wcnss
remoteproc2: Booting fw image wcnss.mdt, size 7260
remoteproc2: remote processor a204000.wcnss is now up
qcom_wcnss_ctrl pronto.wcnss: WCNSS Version 1.5 1.2
Thanks
How is your /lib/firmware setup organized ? on the booted image the files should be set up like:
/lib/firmware/venus.b02
/lib/firmware/venus.b04
/lib/firmware/a300_pm4.fw
/lib/firmware/venus.b01
/lib/firmware/wcnss.b09
/lib/firmware/wcnss.b10
/lib/firmware/wcnss.b01
/lib/firmware/wcnss.b06
/lib/firmware/wcnss.b00
/lib/firmware/venus.mbn
/lib/firmware/wcnss.b04
/lib/firmware/venus.b00
/lib/firmware/wcnss.b02
/lib/firmware/wcnss.mdt
/lib/firmware/venus.b03
/lib/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin
/lib/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_cfg.dat
/lib/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
/lib/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_wlan_dictionary.dat
/lib/firmware/venus.mdt
/lib/firmware/a300_pfp.fw
/lib/firmware/wcnss.b11
This is how the initialization on a build of the official Ubuntu Core image looks like in dmesg:
ogra@dragonboard:~$ dmesg|grep remoteproc
[ 22.591099] remoteproc2: powering up soc:vidc_tzpil@0

I assume your kernel snap does not put the files in the right places… Is there any particular reason that you do not want to use the officially supported dragonboard-kernel snap ?
Hi,
No not like that.initially i booted using official image only.Now i just wanted to bring up using customized kernel.
Below is the listing of my /lib/firmware
a300_pfp.fw a300_pm4.fw venus.b00 venus.b01 venus.b02 venus.b03 venus.b04 wcnss.b01 wcnss.b10 venus.mdt wcnss.b00 wcnss.b02 wcnss.b04 wcnss.b06 wcnss.b09 wcnss.b11 wcnss.mdt
listing of /lib/firmware/wlan/prima
WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
WCNSS_cfg.dat
WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin

and

Thanks
hmm, perhaps a missing config option or our kernel carries a patch that linaros does not … perhaps @ppisati has an idea …
in case you want to consider using the ubuntu tree as a base instead, it is here
Thanks for the info.will look in to that.

Hi ogra,
I built kernel snap with ubuntu tree and now wlan interface is showing up. Thanks for your support.
1.Now how to connect to wifi network.I’m trying to connect through snappy terminal but not finding any means to connect to wifi network. should i download any snap from store?
2.Regarding bluetooh, the status of bluetooth service is not active(not loaded). i downloaded bluez snap from store but i have no idea how to make it active.
kindly help me on this.
Regards,
Laxman
how did you create this image exactly ? normally a configuration tool (console-conf / subiquity) comes up on first boot, where you need to register the device with a user account and configure the network settings. do yoou not see this tool ?
With the bluez package the bluetoothctl tool gets installed, you can use it like below to turn on bluetooth and disover/connect devices (below it finds an old Ubuntu phone lying on my desk).
ogra@dragonboard:~$ sudo bluetoothctl
[NEW] Controller 00:00:00:00:5A:AD dragonboard [default]
[bluetooth]# agent on
Agent registered
[bluetooth]# default-agent
Default agent request successful
[bluetooth]# power on

[CHG] Controller 00:00:00:00:5A:AD Discovering: yes
[NEW] Device 43:45:C0:00:B3:E7 Pro5 Ubuntu Edition
[bluetooth]#
There is an interface shipped by the bluez package you can connect an app snap to, to manage connections etc (called bluez:service).
Hi,
Ya i did see that . I configured using ethernet during bootup and now trying to up wifi through terminal.
“iwlist wlan0 scan” returned available networks. so trying to connect like this.As you said, i’ll try to configure with wifi during boot-up.
and regarding bluetooth i tried with bluetoothctl and getting below log
laxman1234@localhost:~$ sudo bluetoothctl
prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP, SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER, …) failed: Invalid argument
aborting: Invalid argument
bluetooth service is not active.i tried with systemctl enable bluetooth ,but no success
where its getting wrong?
Thanks
well, you should be able to just invoke the configuration again with:
sudo console-conf
and then configure wlan as desired …
this actually sounds like your kernel misses some configuration for seccomp support (i assume you will find additional messages in dmesg) all execution of binaries in snaps is guarded by seccomp …
generally you should see bluetoothd and obexd running right after installing the bluez snap:
ogra@dragonboard:~$ ps ax|grep blue
1689 ? Ss 0:00 /snap/bluez/88/usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd -E
1700 ? Ss 0:00 /snap/bluez/88/usr/lib/bluetooth/obexd
The snap ships two systemd service files:
ogra@dragonboard:~$ systemctl |grep blue|grep service
snap.bluez.bluez.service loaded active running Service for snap application bluez.bluez
snap.bluez.obex.service loaded active running Service for snap application bluez.obex
ogra@dragonboard:~$ systemctl status snap.bluez.bluez.service
● snap.bluez.bluez.service - Service for snap application bluez.bluez
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/snap.bluez.bluez.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since Thu 2017-07-13 07:37:24 CEST; 8h ago
Main PID: 1689 (bluetoothd)
CGroup: /system.slice/snap.bluez.bluez.service
└─1689 /snap/bluez/88/usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd -EHi,
Ya seccomp kernel config is missing and i built kernel snap adding that now bluetooth is working.
Thanks a lot for your support.
and one thing i observed was there is a crash when connected to ethernet or wifi. Then also everything is working fine. i just wanted to know root cause of that crash. Below is the crash log

Thanks
i cant really judge the first part of the error (thats a question to @ppisati) , the last two lines look unrelated to the oops and look like /run/macaddr0 has not been created.
the driver looks for /lib/firmware/wlan/macaddr0 to read its mac address. this file is linked to /run/macaddr0 on the Ubuntu Core image which in turn is generated during boot from the “androidboot.serialno” option in the kernel cmdline.
the script snippet creating it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/25087762/
perhaps you can go through the different conditions it checks to find which one is missing.
hmm thanks for the info.will look further
Hi ogra,
To add firmware
1.i added required firmware to firmware directory and changed the makefile inside firmware as
fw-shipped-$(obj-y) += “firmware-files”
with this firmware files are reflecting under /lib
2.i made below change to kernel snapcraft.yaml but firmware is not reflecting under /lib
firmware:
plugin: tar-content
source: firmware.tar
destination: lib/firmware
which is actually the correct optimized way to add the firmware.is this the right way to add firmware?
just firmware … omit the lib/ here … like:
destination: firmware
(the same goes for modules btw)
Thanks ogra. Now its showing up.

is it problem with kernel snap build?
Thanks
i think it is the problem with kernel image type.
Can you show us the snapcraft.yaml you used?
