I’m building the rock3a with the buildroot.rockchip repo.
I’ve got the Radxa A2 wifi module plugged in.
I am installing the armbian firmware : BR2_PACKAGE_ARMBIAN_FIRMWARE_AP6256=y
How do I enable this wifi module ?
Does it have kernel modules which need to be loaded ?
thanks
Matt
Still no wifi device in ip link (nor ifconfig -a).
dmesg now prints out the following :

The wlan0 device seems to show up now.
I also used the following buildroot firmware enable commands :
BR2_PACKAGE_ARMBIAN_FIRMWARE=y
