  • The issue is present in the latest release.
  • I have searched the issues of this repository and believe that this is not a duplicate.

What happened?

Wrote chirpstack-gateway-os-4.7.0-full-bcm27xx-bcm2709-rpi-2-squashfs-factory.img.gz to a SD card
Boot looks good - except kernel can't load the wifi firmware -> no networking

What did you expect?

Firmware should load - networking be active.

Steps to reproduce this issue

Steps:

  1. write chirpstack-gateway-os-4.7.0-full-bcm27xx-bcm2709-rpi-2-squashfs-factory.img.gz to a micro sd
  2. boot raspberry zero2 W
  3. the failure(s) to find find the firmware with either of the 2 tried methods are at the end of the console output

Could you share your log output?

currently no log - as no network.

Could you confirm if the same issue persists when flashing a vanilla OpenWrt image for the same target?

Openwrt 24.10.1 doesn't work either (openwrt-24.10.1-bcm27xx-bcm2709-rpi-2-ext4-factory.img.gz).
The problem seems to be, that the kernel tries to load the firmware for brcfmac43430b0-sdio.bin which doesn't exist.

I haven't managed to get clear on the variants for the zero2-w yet.

In that case, it would be better to report the issue here as this issue is not related to the ChirpStack Gateway OS, but affects all OpenWrt users:
