Wifi doesn't respond - jmlich - 01-28-2022
I have troubles with wifi which looks like hardware problem. I have PinePhone Brave Heart edition.
I have tried to run different operating systems, but

- mobian-pinephone-phosh-20210517.img.gz
- Manjaro-ARM-phosh-pinephone-beta20.img.xz
In attachment is output of dmesg from postmarketos.
And of course I checked hardware dip switch on the back side of pinephone (and tried to turn it off and on again).
I tried to reload module, but it didn't helped:
Code:
rmmod 8723cs
modprobe 8723csWhere can I find more debug information?
I can possibly try to check voltage on some pins of the chip, but some guidance would be helpful and I am keeping that as last option.

Why such an old release of Mobian ?
RE: Wifi doesn't respond - jmlich - 01-30-2022
I can see at https://images.mobian-project.org/pinephone/ only this version or weekly builds.
Is that version unstable? I just wanted to try if wifi does work in other distros. I can try also weekly build of mobian if it helps. What logs should I attach?

Have you tried the multi-distro SD card image?

Jan 16 release "should" work just fine, I have this on my daily use Pine phone and my keyboard phone, both are PMOS Convergent phones.
I have done all the nightly updates as well, ---> but you could hold back the updates if you are worried about breakage.
I just download the image and flash it to the sd card, ---> I have not 'attached' any Logs/files to the sd card(s)
I have NEVER had any wifi problems using Mobian ever, --> even when it was still called Debian the wifi worked.

Then it should work with mobian, but it doesn't

Will that change something?
I have made yet another test with factory image. See attached picture.

The multi-distro is quite "Cool"
But it does have a custom boot loader, ==> so it WILL NOT show you how well a particular OS will boot on its own.
It WILL show you some of the characteristics of those operating systems.

@jmlich
My Brave Heart is semi-retired, not enough sim cards for all my Pine phones.
"The Android test image cannot run your wifi", ===> that "could be" a shortcoming of that OS ? I have not tried that one.
( Is that Android test image for the original Pine phones ?) ===> (maybe try the original Post Market test image ?)
My Brave Heart came with a custom Test OS from the people at Post Market. ==> (That also installed some of the firmware ! )
Currently my daily use Pine Convergent phone, and my Keyboard testing Convergent phone are both operating fairly well
on the Mobian weekly release with all the current updates. (Not perfect - still improving)
<<< make sure you do not attempt to use the Explorer Edition Pro phone release of Bookworm, -- the PRO has a different main board>>>
There are 2 different branches of Mobian now, one for the original Pine phones --- and one for the new PRO phones....
