【Linux】 [ROC-RK3568-PC][Wifi] Bandwith limited to 20MHz

Posted at 2/5/2022 01:06:16      View:3155 | Replies:8        Print      Only Author   [Copy Link] 1#
I have the following issue with the wifi module AP6275S: I am trying to run an access point in wifi ac mode but I when running iperf I saw the throughput is always around 125mbps. When running iw list I saw that in the capabilities only 20MHz bandwith is supported, which I think it may explain the issue:

iw list

                * [ LOW_POWER_SCAN ]: low power scan
                * [ HIGH_ACCURACY_SCAN ]: high accuracy scan

Is this expected? I would expect to see at least HT20/HT40. Of course I set hw_mode=1 in hostapd but had no success.

I saw the following kernel messages during boot:
[   17.291957] [dhd] dhd_conf_set_path_params : Final fw_path=/vendor/etc/firmware/fw_bcm43752a2_ag.bin
[   17.292008] [dhd] dhd_conf_set_path_params : Final clm_path=/vendor/etc/firmware/clm_bcm43752a2_ag.blob
[   17.293991] dhd_os_open_image1: /vendor/etc/firmware/fw_bcm43752a2_ag.bin (743607 bytes) open success
[   17.490209] dhd_os_open_image1: /vendor/etc/firmware/clm_bcm43752a2_ag.blob (28865 bytes) open success

Is the bandwith limited because of loading this firmware? Should I update my kernel to a one containing this patch https://patchwork.kernel.org/pro ... 9-2-angus@akkea.ca/ to be able to increase wifi's throughput?

Thanks in advance.

Valentin

Hello, did you use openwrt system? openwrt of 3568 supports HT20 and HT40, so it is not the issure to kernel.
so you can try to edit your hostapd.conf, set hw_mode to "g". this is a hostapd.conf for openwrt for examples:
  1. driver=nl80211
  2. logger_syslog=127
  3. logger_syslog_level=2
  4. logger_stdout=127
  5. logger_stdout_level=2
  6. country_code=US
  7. ieee80211d=1
  8. hw_mode=g
  9. supported_rates=60 90 120 180 240 360 480 540
  10. basic_rates=60 120 240
  11. beacon_int=100
  12. dtim_period=2
  13. channel=1
  14. chanlist=1


  15. ieee80211n=1
  16. ht_coex=0

  17. radio_config_id=570b89ac214840092cda49c8238746df
  18. interface=wlan0
  19. ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
  20. ap_isolate=1
  21. disassoc_low_ack=0
  22. skip_inactivity_poll=0
  23. preamble=1
  24. wmm_enabled=1
  25. ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
  26. uapsd_advertisement_enabled=1
  27. utf8_ssid=1
  28. multi_ap=0
  29. auth_algs=1
  30. wpa=0
  31. ssid=OpenWRT-95D4
  32. bridge=br-lan
  33. wds_bridge=
  34. snoop_iface=br-lan
  35. config_id=fa5f1619a6f9b1243fc2d154a4127dc4
  36. bssid=00:00:00:00:00:00
Copy the code

Hi Javier,

I also tried openwrt image (Station_P2_OpenWRT_GPT_20211123_1812.img), however 'iw list' still only shows HT20 in capabilities. I am not trying to do wifi g but wifi ac, which is supposed to be supported.

Also patched 4.19 kernel to use dhd driver in wifi5 instead of wifi6 but capabilities are the same, I guess the issue comes from  fw_bcm43752a2_ag.bin but no one has confirmed it yet.

you can try the newest firmware,which date is 20220222
OR you can fix the bug manually,delete this freq-limit in rk3568-firefly-roc-pc.dtsi :
  1. &sdmmc2 {
  2.      status = "okay";
  3. -    max-frequency = <100000000>;
  4. };
Copy the code


this may help

I've just flashed ROC-RK3568-PC-UBUNTU18.04-GPT-20220222-1540.img:
root@firefly:~# uname -a
Linux firefly 4.19.219 #370 SMP Tue Feb 22 15:35:10 CST 2022 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

However I still see the same output of iw list:

Band 1:
                Capabilities: 0x1020
                        HT20
                        Static SM Power Save
                        RX HT20 SGI
                        No RX STBC
                        Max AMSDU length: 3839 bytes
                        DSSS/CCK HT40
...
...
...
Band 2:
                Capabilities: 0x1020
                        HT20
                        Static SM Power Save
                        RX HT20 SGI
                        No RX STBC
                        Max AMSDU length: 3839 bytes
                        DSSS/CCK HT40

I would expect at least HT20/HT40

try this new wifi firmware, put them under /vendor/etc/firmware/
and reboot the device

Thanks, it is better, around ~240mbps, however I'm still limited because of supported bandwidth. I cannot setup HT40+ in hostapd.conf because the capability is not supported
