My problem is that I dont know how to read the board files and modify them because I do not know the encoding they use. Also there have been some updates in the upstream linux-firmware repo. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux- firmware.git/commit/?id=a87eb5f7bac0f70ade57da57d9126d14eee12336 and https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/tree/master/QCA6174/hw3.0 but they also do not help to get the wifi card working/recognized. Any ideas how to get this solved? Also there is a guide how to port it to Linux https://developer.qualcomm.com/download/qca9377/wlan-bluetooth-linux- porting-guide.pdf To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/1804028/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
