Hello,
I was able to boot the RPI4 minimal 20.12.1 image on a RPI 3b+, but it did not show the WIFI wlan0 interface. The RPI 3b+ has a Cypress CYW43455 and the dmesg log showed the correct driver module being loaded, as seen below.
Is there any workaround to make WIFI work on RPI 3b+ running the RPI4 minimal 20.12.1 image?
Thanks!
