in_sympathyFar from perfect, but #ChatGPT can be helpful faster than #Radxa support.
I got some Radxa Rock 4B+ boards with AW‑NB197SM WiFi module and turns out it was some custom batch or smth.
So they removed support for this module in Radxa OS r4 and onwards, though it works on r3.
Also WiFi works great on #DietPi and #Armbian, so not a hardware fault.
After fiddling for quite a while ChatGPT made me a shell script that fixes - feel free to use it: https://github.com/in-sympathy/radxa_rock_4bplus_wifi_fix
Kuudes kääntökierros menossa, lähellä ollaan jo haluttua muttei ihan. Jokainen kääntö mennyt ilman erroreita, joka on hyvä asia. #armbian #pipedaldistro #1m2lab
Työnalla Pipedal-distron loppusuora, eli autoconfigit Applience -käyttöä varten. Plug-and-play -image builder on tavoitteena, melkein jo toimiva 😊 Julkaisu lähiaikoina. 🎶 🎵
Ok, I managed to do it. You have to boot it I. Recovery mode - not maskrom, and then RKDevTool v2.86 works ok - not 2.96, because the newer one crashes as soon as you try to flash eMMC.
Now a new question - has anyone managed to get WiFi to work on #Radxa os? Because it works fine on #Armbian so definitely a software issue

NanoPi NEO3 Plus – A tiny Rockchip RK3528A headless SBC with Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0 port, GPIO header
NanoPi NEO3 Plus – A tiny Rockchip RK3528A headless SBC with Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0 port, GPIO header
FriendlyELEC NanoPi NEO3 Plus is an ultra-compact headless SBC powered by a Rockchip RK3528A SoC paired with 1GB RAM, whose main interfaces are a Gigabit Ethernet jack, a USB 3.2 port, and a 26-pin GPIO header. I can still remember using its predecessor, the NanoPi NEO3, based on a Rockchip RK3328, which I reviewed with Armbian in 2020. The new model is similar, with a quad-core Cortex-A53 SoC but clocked at 2.0 GHz instead of 1.5 GHz, and offered with a black metal case instead of a white plastic case. The OS can still be booted from a microSD card, but the NanoPi NEO3 Plus also offers a socket for an optional eMMC flash module, and adds an RTC battery connector, a speaker connector, and a MASK button for firmware updates. NanoPi NEO3 Plus specifications: SoC - Rockchip RK3528A CPU - Quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 @ 2.0 GHz GPU - Arm
