Hi,
I recently purchased a "CanaKit Raspberry Pi 4 4GB Starter Kit - 4GB RAM" and my WiFi (wlan0 interface) won't show up.
I'm using Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) with the following kernel:Linux raspberrypi 4.19.97-v7l+ #1294 SMP Thu Jan 30 13:21:14 GMT 2020 armv7l GNU/Linux
I started with NOOBS and the Raspbian, then tried to move to a newer OS using the Raspberry Pi Imager, but there is no wlan0 interface showing in ifconfig:
`pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ifconfig

These are the messages from dmesg after plain reboot:

Any idea?
Thanks,

Hello:
"I started with NOOBS and the Raspbian... " I suggest you to start with an OS which can bring up the wifi card successfully, then copy all the related files in the directory lib/firmwre/... I think that includes all the necessary and correct files if Raspberry had a matured solution. Then if you want to introduce a newer OS, you can copy all the files into it .

Hello:
Did you try to run "ifconfig wlan0 up" by manual?

Hi,
The wlan0 interface isn't identified/shown anywhere as an adapter, even in `rfkill` or `ifconfig -a`.
Thanks,

I think you need to check below setting:
1. if you copy all the brcmfmac43455-sdio related file into /lib/firmware/brcm/ like
brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin, brcmfmac43455-sdio.clm_blob, brcmfmac43455-sdio.txt
2. check the hardware setting about the INT setting in your board for SDIO interface.
3. try to add debug levels in the bringup like below:
insmod brcmfmac.ko debug=0x120000e
debug level is defined in debug.h
4. I noticed you are using SDIO, but seems pcie also opened in the log, you can disable it in the defconfig also.

Hello,
Thanks for the reply.
You asked to copy the firmware files, but where should I copy them from?
Seems like I already have the files:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ls /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio*
/lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.txt
/lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.clm_blob
pi@raspberrypi:~ $
Also, re "check the hardware setting about the INT setting in your board for SDIO interface."
where and how do I do this stuff in Rapsbian?
Re kernel debug printing, I have unloaded the kernel module (brcmfmac driver) and reloaded it again, seems like it is an unidentified chip SKU or wrong read from the bus:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo modprobe -r brcmfmac
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo modprobe brcmfmac debug=0x120000e
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ dmesg | tail | grep brcmfmac
[366015.227471] brcmfmac: F1 signature read @0x18000000=0xffffffff

Please let me know if you need more information.

Actually, we can't provide NVRAM for Rapsbian, it should be released from the Rapsbian provider if they already have the matured solution. Are you using 43438 now? but I only see 43455 related in the directory you "ls" . and we have official 43430 named firmware in the release, and clm file also included, you can downloaded it from here.

Thanks for the reply.
Seems like I'm using the CYW43455 chipset (see also here).
I tried to do the following:
1) Unzipping the device driver link you sent above
2) Untarring the cypress-firmware-v4.14.77-2020_0115.tar.gz
3) Copying the extracted firmware into /lib/firmware/brcm: sudo cp firmware/*43455* /lib/firmware/brcm/
4) Unloading and reloading the driver: sudo modprobe -r brcmfmac; sudo modprobe brcmfmac
Still get the same results.
Is there anything else I'm missing?
Thanks,
Ofir
