"The wifi/bt module used on ROCK960s is AP6356s from AMPAK Technology." https://www.96boards.org/documentation/consumer/rock960/hard...

"AMPAK combines Broadcom Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chips in single modules." https://wikidevi.com/wiki/AMPAK

Broadcom + Linux is a very mixed bag. Would require more investigation.

The Raspberry Pi uses Broadcom WiFi and Bluetooth chips too. You need to install the linux-firmware package though.
