# Issue #58: legacy firmware test for D80 MCU revision 1
|
|
|
|
This branch is an experimental build for
|
|
[issue #58](https://github.com/shenmintao/aic8800d80/issues/58). It is intended
|
|
only for AIC8800D80 devices reported as:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
chip_id=7, chip_mcu_id=1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Do not merge this branch as a general firmware downgrade. It replaces the
|
|
complete `fw/aic8800D80` firmware set and matches the D80 loader's FMAC patch
|
|
table, patch-buffer layout, and MCU cache setup to that firmware generation.
|
|
The USB transport and modern-kernel compatibility code remain current.
|
|
Firmware and loader paths for D80N, D80X2, DC, and other variants are not
|
|
changed.
|
|
|
|
## Hypothesis
|
|
|
|
The affected device times out when an FMAC upload reaches address `0x170400`.
|
|
With an upload base of `0x120000`, this suggests that the old MCU revision has
|
|
an FMAC RAM window of about `0x50400` (328,704) bytes.
|
|
|
|
| Firmware | Size | End address (exclusive) | Result relative to `0x170400` |
|
|
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
|
|
| Current V5 FMAC | 358,072 bytes | `0x1776B8` | 29,368 bytes over |
|
|
| Legacy V3 FMAC in this branch | 327,037 bytes | `0x16FD7D` | 1,667 bytes free |
|
|
|
|
This branch uses the complete matching D80 firmware set from Radxa SDK V3,
|
|
fixed at upstream commit
|
|
[`254d47e6a131dbed5ba32131972f4719f3e1c7fe`](https://github.com/radxa-pkg/aic8800/commit/254d47e6a131dbed5ba32131972f4719f3e1c7fe).
|
|
The normal FMAC file has SHA-256
|
|
`1ec680c2b63dcaa0e5d33c5fb6d1857d030f8145c05c385e243760388a61a0da`.
|
|
|
|
The first hardware test proved that this image uploads completely without the
|
|
`0x170400` timeout, but the device then failed to re-enumerate while the newer
|
|
loader was still applying SDK V5-era FMAC patches and MCU cache setup. This
|
|
follow-up matches those loader operations to V3 so that their effect can be
|
|
tested separately, while retaining unrelated fixes in the current driver.
|
|
|
|
## Install the test branch
|
|
|
|
From an existing clone:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git fetch origin
|
|
git switch test/issue-58-mcu1-legacy-fw
|
|
git pull --ff-only
|
|
sudo ./install.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Disconnect and reconnect the USB device after installation. Reboot if the
|
|
device does not re-enumerate cleanly.
|
|
|
|
## Verify
|
|
|
|
First save the complete kernel log and confirm that the V3 loader profile is
|
|
active, firmware upload passes the old failure address, and the adapter
|
|
re-enumerates after `a69c:8d80`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo dmesg -C
|
|
# Disconnect and reconnect the device, then wait for initialization.
|
|
sudo dmesg | tee issue58-legacy-fw-dmesg.txt
|
|
sudo dmesg | grep -iE 'aic|issue58|chip_id|chip_mcu_id|fmacfw|bin upload|cmd timed-out|error -110'
|
|
lsusb
|
|
lsusb -t
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The log must contain:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
issue58: using Radxa SDK V3 D80 loader profile
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Please report all of the following, even if an earlier item fails:
|
|
|
|
1. The `chip_id` and `chip_mcu_id` lines, and whether firmware upload completes.
|
|
2. Whether the adapter re-enumerates and creates an interface owned by
|
|
`aic8800_fdrv`.
|
|
3. Whether nearby SSIDs can be scanned through that AIC interface.
|
|
4. Whether Wi-Fi association succeeds through that interface.
|
|
5. Whether the interface receives an address by DHCP.
|
|
6. Whether the gateway and an Internet address can be pinged, and whether real
|
|
traffic works.
|
|
7. Whether Bluetooth still enumerates and works through the kernel's standard
|
|
`btusb` driver. This test does not install or use `aic_btusb`.
|
|
|
|
Useful commands:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
iw dev
|
|
nmcli device status
|
|
nmcli device wifi list
|
|
ip address
|
|
ip route
|
|
lsusb -t
|
|
bluetoothctl list
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Identify the new AIC interface with `iw dev`, then replace `wlan0` below with
|
|
that interface name. Confirm its driver before treating scan or traffic from
|
|
another onboard adapter as a successful result:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
readlink -f /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/driver
|
|
sudo iw dev wlan0 scan | grep SSID
|
|
ip route show dev wlan0
|
|
ping -I wlan0 -c 4 1.1.1.1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The driver path should end in `/aic8800_fdrv`.
|
|
|
|
## Return to the current V5 firmware
|
|
|
|
The installer replaces the firmware under `/lib/firmware`, so merely switching
|
|
Git branches is not enough. Reinstall after returning to `main`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git switch main
|
|
git pull --ff-only
|
|
sudo ./install.sh
|
|
sudo reboot
|
|
```
