Unable to install Debian Bullseye because of missing wifi firmware |

I am trying to install Debian Bullseye. I have Tow-Boot already installed to SPI.
From http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/b...rd-images/ I downloaded 'partition.img,gz' and 'firmware.pinebook-pro-rk3399.img.gz' and combined them as per the accompanying README:
Code: zcat ~/firmware.pinebook-pro-rk3399.img.gz ~/partition.img.gz > ~/complete_image.img
I then used Disk Image Writer to write the resulting image to SD.
The PBP/Tow-Boot boots the installer and I get to select Location, Language, Locale and Keyboard. The installer then probes the networking hardware and reports:
Quote:[!] Detect network hardware
Some of your hardware needs non-free firmware files to operate. The firmware can be loaded from removable media such as a USB stick or floppy. The missing firmware files are:
brcm/brcmfmac43456-sdio.pine64,pinebook-pro.bin
brcm/brcmfmac43456-sdio.bin
If you have such media available now, insert it, and continue.
Load missing firmware from removable media? [Yes/No]
I assumed this firmware would have been in the firmware image I used to create the installer.
I searched online but couldn't find these files.
On an SD card with Debian installed with Daniel Thompson's installer (unfortunately not longer working) I found 2 brcm directories with the following files:
BCM4345C5.hcd
brcmfmac43456-sdio.clm_blob
brcmfmac43456-sdio.txt
nvram_ap6256.txt
brcmfmac43456-sdio.bin
brcmfmac43456-sdio.pine64,pinebook-pro.txt
fw_bcm43456c5_ag.bin
Notably there is no 'brcmfmac43456-sdio.pine64,pinebook-pro.bin', but there is a .txt file with the same name.
I copied all these files to a USB thumb drive (EXT4). Running the installer again and answering 'Yes' to the 'Load missing firmware from removable media?' question only results in the installer repeating the question. Selecting 'No' gets me to a list of drivers to choose from but none of the Broadcom drivers selectable work.
What am I doing wrong?

AW-CM256SM wifi card |

Hello!
I've seen a couple of threads asking how to get the AW-CM256SM combo wifi/bluetooth module working, but I haven't seen any conclusive cases of a user getting it running yet. I'm in the same boat myself, but I think I'm making progress towards it.
I'm using Manjaro for ARM, the image specifically for the RockPro64. I installed brcmfmac from the Arch repositories using yay, as I believe that's the correct driver for the module.
"dmesg | grep SDIO" gives me this: "[ 2.172676] mmc0: new ultra high speed SDF104 SDIO card at address 0001"
"dmesg | grep brcmfmac" returns the following:
[ 8.602310] brcmfmac: brcmf_fw_alloc_request: using brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio for chip BCM4345/6
[ 8.602862] usbcore: registered new interface driver brcmfmac
[ 8.605626] brcmfmac mmc0:0001:1: Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.pine64,rockpro64-v2.1.bi
n failed with error -2
[ 8.614427] brcmfmac mmc0:0001:1: Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.pine64,rockpro64-v2.1.tx
t failed with error -2
[ 8.614570] brcmfmac mmc0:0001:1: Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.txt failed with error -2
[ 9.641432] brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_htclk: HT Avail timeout (1000000): clkctl 0x50
If I am understanding correctly then, the module is being detected on mmc0, and I do have the driver installed, but something isn't configured correctly. Any ideas on what I need to do next?
Thanks in advance!

PSA: The LoRa PinePhone Case seems to drain battery even when shutdown |

The thin black cover that the PinePhone comes with broke for me, so I wanted to buy a more sturdy cover.
I never use wireless charging and the fingerprint reader is expensive, so I went with the LoRa case since that interests me.
However, it seems even after I shut the phone down completely, the LoRa case continues to drain power. I can feel a faint warmth and the next day my phone has been completely dead multiple times.
I just wanted to warn people and I hope Pine64 or OS maintainers can find a fix. I think I'll put some tape over the pogo pins for now since I have no use for LoRa at the moment.

Ringtone |

I have two 3Gig Pinephones.
Incidentally I had to replace the screen on the second one as soon as I got it!
This might be a bit unusual, but I want to use it as a mobile phone, rather than editing videos etc.!
I installed Arch, because it is lightweight, and only has what you need, rather than the kitchen sink. Also surely I should be able to go in and get things to work.
OK, so how do I get it to produce a noise I can hear when I get an incoming call or SMS?
There is a path to the ringtones:
/usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo
Lots of .oga files there, but they must all be recordings of silence!
I assume there is some way of waking them up, but what is it?
I have DanctNIX Tweaks installed. Nice GUI. It would be even nicer if it did something!
Please help me get these phones to make noises so that I know when I have a call, or SMS.
I do not require a full orchestra, just something loudly audible to attract my attention.

Getting hdmi out to work reliably? |

Hi all,
I have a PPP that doesn't seem to have the HDMI out functioning reliably. The secondary display "appears" for a split second then disappears, and this keeps repeating. (See gif below) The odd thing is that I was able to get it connected successfully on the first try, but afterwards nearly all attempts have led to this behaviour.
For reference here's a gif of the setting screen:

I'm running a new install of the latest mobian with phosh, although I get the same issue with arch (and with GNOME and other DE). Also this isn't a adapter/cable/monitor issue as I can get this configuration working with my laptop.
