I am running a headless Bananapipro server that acts as an AP. Recently I found that its WiFi net was gone. In the log I found a crash of  brcm:

WiFi could be re-activated by restarting the system.

 

I shall also note that there are at least once a day messages like this in the log:

Dec 19 22:36:32 localhost kernel: [20143.706800] ieee80211 phy0: brcmf_psm_watchdog_notify: PSM's watchdog has fired!

 

 

The system is:

uname -a
Linux bananapipro2 6.6.44-current-sunxi #1 SMP Sat Aug  3 06:54:42 UTC 2024 armv7l GNU/Linux

 

Are there any hints how to proceed with this issue?

 

Many thanks,

Thomas

 

Hi

 

Providing logs with

 

PASTE_SERVER_HOST=paste.armbian.de armbianmonitor -u

 

 helps with troubleshooting and significantly raises chances that issue gets addressed.

 

 

Hi,

unfortunately something seems not to work with armbianmonitor for me. I entered the above line as sudo and got this:

 

<PASTE_SERVER_HOST=paste.armbian.de armbianmonitor -u

This means your Armbian is very outdated. We replaced ix.io with our own services quite a while ago.

I updated my Armbian on another board, saw the same brcm error an generated the required data, upload is here:
