[HOW-TO] Fix WiFi and Bluetooth for Aun AKEY1 Plus projector with LibreELEC 8.2

  • Guide below describes a procedure required to fix not working WiFi and Bluetooth on the Aun AKEY1 Plus projector with LibreELEC 8.2 by kszaq

    Use custom built SYSTEM squashfs image instead the original one from the LE 8.2. It has all the needed fixes pre-packed.

    Archive with SYSTEM image and its md5 can be downloaded here: aun_akey1_plus — Yandex.Disk

    Place SYSTEM and SYSTEM.md5 to the root of the LE 8.2 FAT partition reboot and have fun with working WiFi and Bluetooth.

    This should work for Aun AKEY2 Plus as well, however I do not have an opportunity to test.


    :exclamation: Steps below are OBSOLETE and left here for reference purposes only.


    IMPORTANT: as far as there is no prebuilt LE8.2 with proper wifi firmware you'll need a serial console access to the device in order to do the manipulations described in that thread. Serial console pins are located inside the device on the S905X "miniboard" close to the CPU. I would be able to give more details on that if needed.

    TLDR;

    In order to make WiFi working one need to extract firmware bin and nvram files from the original Android firmware or download them here, place them into LE and configure dhd module accordingly

    Details

    1. download wifi firmware (fw_bcm40183b2.bin) and nvram (nvram_ap6330.txt) files extracted from the original Android from here or mount /dev/system from within LE and extract these files manually

    2. create /storage/.config/firmware/brcm dir and place downloaded files there

    3. create /storage/.config/modprobe.d/dhd.conf with the following content:

    Code
    options dhd config_path=/usr/lib/firmware/brcm/config.txt firmware_path=/storage/.config/firmware/brcm/ nvram_path=/storage/.config/firmware/brcm/

    4. run:

    Code
    modprobe -r dhd
    modprobe dhd

    Congrats! Now you have a fully functional wifi in your LE
