Beaglebone Green Wireless unable to connect

[kscz]

Creating a fresh image with the command: sudo ./mk_mmc.sh --mmc /dev/mmcblk0 --dtb am335x-boneblack --distro buster --firmware --serial-mode

I have dmesg logs filled with the following errors:

[   23.726871] Bluetooth: hci0: request_firmware failed(errno -2) for ti-connectivity/TIInit_11.8.32.bts

And I am unable to get my beaglebone green wireless to connect. I am uncertain which wl18xx firmware file I need, or how to generate the wl18xx-conf.bin file.

I tried using a newer kernel version (i.e. --use-lts-5_4-kernel) and I also tried copying this file into my dl/linux-firmware/ti-connectivity/ but neither seemed to have any impact on the messages in dmesg

Hi @kscz i am no longer working on this specific project.. If you need Buster.. here's the last official image i pushed out: https://forum.beagleboard.org/t/debian-10-x-buster-monthly-snapshot-2023-07-01-final/31203

Bummer! But extremely reasonable given that I think I've been asking you random Beaglebone questions for more than a decade on various forums.

I'll take a look at the prebuilt image!

Thanks for all your help over the years on this!
