  • [RPi5] Loading "iwlwifi" WiFi driver

    Yes, no wlan2 this time. Rebooted again, still only wlan0 and wlan1, so not an issue. Have disabled the built-in wifi now and it all works fine. Thanks again.

    Will the 12.2 nightly build be atuomatically updated within LibrelELEC or do I need to keep downloading new versions until it becomes a new release?

    The 12.2 nightly build worked as well, but for some reason it created 2 wireless lan adapters (wlan0 and wlan1) for the AX210, see below:

  • [RPi5] Loading "iwlwifi" WiFi driver

    Thank you both for your help. I have now tested with the 12.90 version and got the AX210 card to work. The required drivers are as per HiassofT's post, although lower versions are supported as well:

    The key to getting it to work was to use the firmware from the /plain directory, not the /tree directory, so these two files:

    https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/intel/iwlwifi/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0-89.ucode

    https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/intel/iwlwifi/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm

    After downloading them into the /storage/.config/firmware directory, the firmware is found and installed. If you use the files from the /tree directory it produces a "uCode file size ... does not match expected size" error.

    Output with firmware correctly installed and wlan1 configured:

    I will test with the 12.2 nightly build later today and report back.

    Hi,

    I have added a Waveshare WiFi HAT+ (https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/PCIE_TO_M.2_E_KEY_HAT%2B) with an Intel AX210 wifi card to my RPI5 running LibreELEC 12.0.2 in the hope of solving my poor WiFi reception issue (the RPI5 is too far from the AP, signal strength is only 50 or less and a repeater is not an option due to lack of power points inbetween).

    The PCIe card and wifi card are recognised as evidenced by lshw:

    but the iwlwifi module is not loaded:

    Code
    LibreELEC:~ # dmesg | grep iwlwifi
LibreELEC:~ # modprobe iwlwifi
modprobe: FATAL: Module iwlwifi not found in directory /lib/modules/6.6.70

    I then tried to add the correct firmware to the overlay directory /storage/.config/firmware, which according to Waveshare is iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0-59.ucode. I did not create subdirectory, not sure if I need to, but after reboot I still get the same result - iwlwifi is not found. dmesg showed that the firmware overlay was processed, but the iwlwifi driver was not added.

    What am I missing, please?

  • Using TV remote to control Kodi on Pi5

    Thanks Harry. I don't seem to have a menu item System -> Input on my Sony TV. I did find a menu item to pass through the Tuning Keys via CEC and have now mapped Next Letter and Previous Letter to those Channel Down/Up to speed up scrolling, which helps a lot. I have also mapped the context menu to the Red key on the remote. That's good enough for me :)

    There is a solution to the long-press issue in a previous post:

    Thread

    Long Press on TV Remote not bringing up RightClick?

    Hello ,



    i have sort of question / request (if not already implemented)



    when using LibreElec now it would function also with the normal TV Remote which is a very nice feature, thank you very much for that.



    Now there are some situation were i still would need the keyboard;



    there are some files, which i would play after bringing up "Play" Command via RightClick or longPress of Enter on Keyboard.

    this would be needed for .iso files or .dvdmedia.



    now , with the remote this seem not function;

    when i…

  • Using TV remote to control Kodi on Pi5

    Hi. I have installed LibreELEC 12/Kodi 21 on my Raspberry Pi 5 and connected it to my Sony TV. I tried to go through the 'new device found' setup after I connected the Pi to the TV, but because it is not a standard TV box it wouldn't go through the setup. Despite that, pretty much everything works fine and I can control Kodi using the TV remote via HDMI, apart from:
    1. Scrolling up/down in Kodi is really slow. It would seem the default button repeat rate on the remote is not very useful for scrolling through a large library. Can that be fixed?
    2. Long-press (press-and-hold) on the Select/OK button does not bring up the context menu as it should, instead it repeats the SELECT button press. Is it possible to fix that somehow, even by assigning the context menu command to another button?
    The TV remote model is RMF-TX500P and the Sony TV runs Android TV.
