Thanks for the info, you must have a new revision board with updated Wifi chip. My board is rather old.
You have A1 chip.

[ 15.652584] dhdsdio_download_code_file: Open firmware file failed /lib/firmware/ap6212/fw_bcm43438a1.bin

Don't worry, It is not really an error per si, it's trying to detect some mmc memory type.

[avafinger]

Can you please check if BT (Bluetooth) is working with this A1 chip?

[avafinger]

BT will possibly not work if you have not manually changed it to load the A1 firmware, so i just made this script to do it, please try: https://github.com/avafinger/bpi-m64-firmware#things-you-should-do-after-flashing-the-os-image

Note: If BT is not working it will eat a lot of CPU if you try to use BT.

[JimmyChangJY]

BT also need to modify new driver
https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI_WiFi_Firmware/tree/master/ap6212
And BT work smooth.

My wifi has new issue.
dmesg|grep fail
[ 673.825828] dhd_aoe_hostip_clr failed code -1
[ 673.825832] aoe_update_host_ipv4_table failed

I can see the whole wifi connecting info is correct.
DHCP setting can let me get the correct IP.
But I can't ping my router IP address.
Any Idea?

[avafinger]

Please, run the script and check again: c439b5b

[JimmyChangJY]

👍
FYI
In the C439b5b
91 line

•    wget https://github.com/avafinger/bpm64-firmware/raw/master/update_wifi_bt.sh 
  

is wrong !

It should be
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/avafinger/bpi-m64-firmware/master/update_wifi_bt.sh

[avafinger]

Fixed, thanks.

[JimmyChangJY]

GOOD for you !!
