Hi Johan,
Try the firmware from https://github.com/LibreELEC/brcmfmac_sdio-firmware
brcmfmac4334-sdio.txt
brcmfmac4334-sdio.bin
 
Rename brcmfmac4334-sdio.bin to brcmfmac4334-sdio.transpeed,8k618-t.bin or create a link.
 
copy the files into your /lib/firmware/brcm/ directory.
 
 

Hi Kazekami, It's not so simple. First you would need a working DTS and u-boot defconfig for your box. You can use mine and modify it with your box settings.
 
OrangePi-Zero2 uses the same wifi/bt aw859a chip. You can borrow code off that board to get WIFI to work.
https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/linux-orangepi/blob/orange-pi-6.1-sun50iw9/arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-h616-orangepi-zero2.dts

Your GPIO might be a different value.  You can find the correct settings in your android dts.
"reset-gpios = <&pio 6 18 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; /* PG18 */" 
 
reg_vcc33_wifi: vcc33-wifi { /* Always on 3.3V regulator for WiFi and BT */ compatible = "regulator-fixed"; regulator-name = "vcc33-wifi"; regulator-min-microvolt = <3300000>; regulator-max-microvolt = <3300000>; regulator-always-on; vin-supply = <&reg_vcc5v>; }; reg_vcc_wifi_io: vcc-wifi-io { /* Always on 1.8V/300mA regulator for WiFi and BT IO */ compatible = "regulator-fixed"; regulator-name = "vcc-wifi-io"; regulator-min-microvolt = <1800000>; regulator-max-microvolt = <1800000>; regulator-always-on; vin-supply = <&reg_vcc33_wifi>; }; wifi_pwrseq: wifi-pwrseq { compatible = "mmc-pwrseq-simple"; clocks = <&rtc 1>; clock-names = "osc32k-out"; reset-gpios = <&pio 6 18 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; /* PG18 */ post-power-on-delay-ms = <200>; }; . . . &mmc1 { vmmc-supply = <&reg_vcc33_wifi>; vqmmc-supply = <&reg_vcc_wifi_io>; mmc-pwrseq = <&wifi_pwrseq>; bus-width = <4>; non-removable; mmc-ddr-1_8v; status = "okay"; };  
You would need to create patches for your box. Make your changes to both u-boot and kernel sun50i-h618-transpeed-8k618-t.dts. 
 
git clone https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build.git
cd build
./compile.sh
 
In the choose board menu click on "Show CSC/WIP/EOS/TVB" option then choose "transpeed-8k618-t".  Choose "bleeding edge", "bookworm", server or desktop doesn't matter. Any desktop environment. Any software. 
 
(After the kernel patches are applied and kernel starts to build)
ctrl C
 
Create patches for u-boot:
cd cache/sources/u-boot-worktree/u-boot/v2024.01
git add .
(For the first line patch title you can put "test" and the second line patch description put "test". Doesn't matter right now.)  
git commit --signoff
 
pico arch/arm/dts/sun50i-h618-transpeed-8k618-t.dts
 
git status
git add arch/arm/dts/sun50i-h618-transpeed-8k618-t.dts
git commit --signoff
(Remember the first line patch title and the second line patch description.) 
git format-patch -1
 
 
Create patches for kernel:
cd ~/build/cache/sources/kernel-sunxi64-6.7/
 
git add .
(For the first line patch title you can put "test" and the second line patch description put "test". Doesn't matter right now.) 
git commit --signoff
 
pico arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-h618-transpeed-8k618-t.dts
 
git status
git add arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwiner/sun50i-h618-transpeed-8k618-t.dts
git commit --signoff
(Remember the first line patch title and the second line patch description.) 
git format-patch -1
 
 
Patch directories:
u-boot
~/build/patch/u-boot/u-boot-sunxi/
 
kernel
~/build/patch/kernel/archive/sunxi-6.7/patches.armbian/
 
Kernel patches config  ( mines (-) before the patch name disables the patch)
Add your new kernel patch to the bottom of these two files.
 
~/build/patch/kernel/archive/sunxi-6.7/series.armbian
~/build/patch/kernel/archive/sunxi-6.7/series.conf
 
 
Armbian board config: 
# Allwinner H618 quad core 4GB RAM SoC WiFi USB BOARD_NAME="Transpeed 8k618-t" BOARDFAMILY="sun50iw9" BOARD_MAINTAINER="Nick A" BOOTCONFIG="transpeed-8k618-t_defconfig" OVERLAY_PREFIX="sun50i-h616" BOOT_LOGO="desktop" KERNEL_TARGET="current,edge" FORCE_BOOTSCRIPT_UPDATE="yes" function post_family_tweaks__station_m2() { display_alert "$BOARD" "Installing board tweaks" "info" cp -R $SRC/packages/blobs/station/firmware/brcm/* $SDCARD/lib/firmware/brcm return 0 }
If you need to add wifi or bluetooth firmware. Add your firmware to /build/packages/blobs/station/firmware and make changes to the bottom copy command. 
 
pico ~/build/config/boards/transpeed-8k618-t.wip
 
Firmware for aw859a chip may already be in the armbian build.
https://github.com/warpme/minimyth2/blob/master/script/firmware/aw859a-firmware/Makefile

I created a patch using my Armbian build.  If you want to compile an image yourself you need to copy this patch into the /build/patch/u-boot/u-boot-sunxi folder.
 
Here's an image you can test.

Hi Hayat,
If you can boot Miniarch then you can boot Armbian. You just need to port over the vontar.dts and defconfig for u-boot and kernel from Miniarch to my Armbian build. I posted the steps in the previous page. I don't have a vontar box so I can't help you with testing. Plus I'm too busy with work right now.
