OMV on Raspberry Pi 3

subzero79 · 14. März 2016

No, I mean pick the fw file from that image and put it in the firmware folder.
Omv 3.0 is under a heavy development for configuration backend, you'll end up here asking for help then we usually close the threads.

Should'nt the rpi-update already have uptdated to the latest firmware ?
Maybe it's just that i did not set up the wifi.
I thought i would show up without doing nothing.
I'lll tinker that this week end and post the result here

Not sure, rpi-update is the kernel an includes the driver module, but it shouldn't include the firmware since those are binary blobs they need to be distributed as a separate package as they are non-free.
I am running openelec in rpi3 so I Haven't had time to look at which fw uses and what is the associated kernel module.

subzero79 · 15. März 2016

The kernel module that covers the driver part is brcmfmac

The fw required for the BCM43438 module are this ones

Code

BCM43430A1.hcd
brcmfmac43430-sdio.bin
brcmfmac43430-sdio.txt

They are not part yet of the linux-firmware oficial tree as you can see here, they should be present at /lib/firmware/bcrm

A package upgrade should bring those files, I guess i can put the files in an extras server if you want.

bobavault · 16. März 2016

Thanks that would be lovely.
Then after that the idea is to drop the files in /lib/firmware/brcm
Disable the power management with

Code

iw dev wlan0 set power_save off

And it should work or would i have to play with insmod command ?
I'm cherrypicking info from here https://www.raspberrypi.org/fo…ewtopic.php?f=28&t=138137

subzero79 · 16. März 2016

We have you tried upgrading all packages? Does the fw appears or not?

bobavault · 16. März 2016

After redoing an apt-get update followed by an apt-get upgrade all i have is that :

Code

subzero79 · 17. März 2016

Sorry i forgot this

I put the fw here

http://dh2k.omv-extras.org/deb…Pi3_wifi_module%5d.tar.gz

Place it at broadcom fw location reboot see if it works.

Thanks to all of you who put in so much effort into this project, I am a humble beginner.

ryecoaaron: when would you believe that there will be an ready image for the rpi3? I am truly not asking to demand or stress anything. : )

Zitat von magnuph

ryecoaaron: when would you believe that there will be an ready image for the rpi3?

In about an hour...

tekkb · 17. März 2016

It's been about an hour! hehe

ryecoaaron · 17. März 2016

Was I supposed to post something after that hour? I had just started the upload when I posted and the image was uploaded in less than an hour.

bobavault · 17. März 2016

Cool,
thank so much.

Quick question to first ever installing it.
Does the wifi included with the rpi 3 works ?

Goldeneye · 17. März 2016

I am in the same situation. 1/2 hour does not work the wireless network module. At least in the list of interfaces enabled device does not appear.

ryecoaaron · 17. März 2016

If you read the previous posts at the top of the page, the firmware is not in Wheezy (OMV 2.x). We still need to figure out how to get the driver in OMV 2.x.

ryecoaaron · 17. März 2016

I can't test this on my RPi3 right now (it did install on an x86 box) but if someone wants to try this, I think it may be the answer:

wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-brcm80211_20160110-1~bpo8+1_all.deb
dpkg -i firmware-brcm80211_20160110-1~bpo8+1_all.deb

If it works, I will put the package in the omv-extras testing repo for armhf only.

mrsilva · 17. März 2016

i'm not an expert on linux, just warning already, but out of the box it did not work. I just try to install the package and no wifi on system. Unless there is something that i did not do.

bobavault · 17. März 2016

OK after adding the files subzero79 gave wifi is now recognised by the system.
I added them in

Code

/lib/firmware/brcm/

I am not using the new image especially made for the RPI 3.
I used the one for a RPI 2 updat the distro and the firmware.

After that i unsucessfully tried

Code

wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-brcm80211_20160110-1~bpo8+1_all.debdpkg -i firmware-brcm80211_20160110-1~bpo8+1_all.deb
dpkg -i firmware-brcm80211_20160110-1~bpo8+1_all.deb

But it did'nt worked even after a reboot.

Adding the file from http://dh2k.omv-extras.org/deb…Pi3_wifi_module%5d.tar.gz
to lib/firmware/brcm/[ and rebooting gave me the following result :

Hi,

Thank for this reactivity ! I go test this week-end.

@ryecoaaron how autoexpend SD Card partition in first boot ?

Thank all.

ryecoaaron · 18. März 2016

The image expands the data partition (#3, not the OS partition) on first boot automatically. Is this the partition you were talking about?

Jetzt mitmachen!
