Venoryk · RT3290 Bluetooth Venoryk May 19, 2019 at 8:04 PM

A few months ago I posted not being able to get my wireless working using the above specified chipset; eventually got that part working. However, I've yet to be able to get the Bluetooth working. When I go into LibreELEC Configuration, at first it says Bluetooth disabled. When I go into services and turn it off and back on, it tells me no adapter found. After some searching around I found a GitHub with a Linux kernel driver for said chipset, but unsure/unable to verify if it would work on LibreELEC and if so how to implement it.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Venoryk · System-Tools Venoryk January 16, 2019 at 5:12 AM

I have installed the System-Tools addon for access to a terminal, however, on the TV the box is hooked up to within Kodi I must resize the interface to -4% in order for it to fit the screen properly. As such, whenever I open Terminal it is stretched beyond the limits of the screen. Is there any way to remedy this?

I apologize for the delay in responding.. it's been a hectic weekend... I've SSH'd into the box and did a find rt3290.bin but says no such file. I've also tried to navigate to the spot you said to place it and there's no firmware folder inside of /.config/.

Running dmesg from a fresh install results in

Code

[    5.738159] ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00_set_rt: Info - RT chipset 3290, rev 0003 detected

[    5.839049] ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Error - Failed to request Firmware

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Edit:

After some searching around... I was to download the rt3290.bin to /storage/.config/firmware after making the directory using

Code

wget https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/rt3290.bin

Rebooted.. and now my WiFi is working. I appreciate your help

Upon Installing and loading into LibreElec.. the Wizard at the beginning shows no networks unless using eth0. After finding that commit, thinking that to be the reasoning.

I have 2 Zotac AD04 units with Ralink RT3290 chipset and I attempted to install LibreElec on one tonight but, get no WiFi. After surfing the github, I found a commit where it said the driver was removed. Is there any way to either get it added back in or pointed to a prior version that had it? Thanks in advance.
