For the wave-2, there is now a new variant: htt-mgt-community (vs the old full-htt-mgt-community) the non-full one (hence forth 'diet') compiles out a lot of firmware features that ath10k does not use (and/or which I consider unimportant). This saves a lot of resources and lets one configure more stations/vdevs/etc using fwcfg.
I also tuned the 9886/8 and 4019 firmware to make better use of memory. With proper fwcfg, the 9888 supports 200 stations and the 4019 supports 162. I have not yet fully tested this of course, but will be doing so over the coming days. I did previously test 228 total stations on a Linksys MR8300 (aka EA8300) and it did fine in a torture test. My suggestion is to use the diet compile in place of the 'full-htt-mgt' one, but another option is to give the user another option to pick they file they want in the openwrt makefile. I am hoping someone will be able to do the openwrt patch, here is the raw info below. 988x 8b4c99253aa309d35f2e060c190091b8db1b84dbda06a6a15c83ac0f9a938126 firmware-2-ct-full-community-22.bin.lede.018 a7168916d6aa5e4d7858f8b620c0c980c76d03f390929db6f4077685ce2051e7 firmware-2-ct-full-htt-mgt-community-22.bin.lede.018 /home/greearb/candela_html/downloads 9887 459692deb186a63ab8eeddb7ad5d54779266e68ca686e7c46062554db6dca12b firmware-2-ct-full-community-22.bin.lede.018 fd126a457d0927d0c8ea10d66ef5b67d5e1e0741f8692bb3016bb602d0af3098 firmware-2-ct-full-htt-mgt-community-22.bin.lede.018 /home/greearb/candela_html/downloads 9980 cf26eb37524de54af51fe9b2efffc85e0e70ab849e8607ef63ce5a8ecffeaa42 firmware-5-ct-full-community-12.bin-lede.018 e9737538d7379e13ad4e4c8c519a63659b5e34a35455ed9ac4399ae8097caabc firmware-5-ct-full-htt-mgt-community-12.bin-lede.018 4d4f74afca487d452f244cd48304cf9710d8941eb97a6346a949ed6b6877d657 firmware-5-ct-htt-mgt-community-12.bin-lede.018 /home/greearb/candela_html/downloads 9984 a6b3d66efe640a430a837f238e91eddcd423eed6b887d3ae19716d87a71fd0b1 firmware-5-ct-full-community-12.bin-lede.018 96060227e372b3b210badccbe6b0bd75d9a35335a7a0f2966964e9e89f66b00f firmware-5-ct-full-htt-mgt-community-12.bin-lede.018 ee593fb5724d75c372de02ac7894e1630ee9f909fcb2e2bbf17aadef67cb9d43 firmware-5-ct-htt-mgt-community-12.bin-lede.018 /home/greearb/candela_html/downloads 4019 46d8f8f1e780813299dc8780eedcfceda103c6b4d8908589ad1adbef921714c0 firmware-5-ct-full-community-12.bin-lede.018 d884624fc34f4b5de7a3ec0534627c46cea25fca45657f3a2f6bb85f6c5893d7 firmware-5-ct-full-htt-mgt-community-12.bin-lede.018 51fe06f66365771647d16039cca8b541de3d642c45271977a4cfd433c2c5d45b firmware-5-ct-htt-mgt-community-12.bin-lede.018 /home/greearb/candela_html/downloads 9888 d01f1429aaf0bfac07eee3547e5821d19136840b2f983e75e76979a5ac19b6f0 firmware-5-ct-full-community-12.bin-lede.018 68c42f8e0dcf77f18d4813ac93174bf06ff5cf5aa4f69befe7f35f9fae1de1e3 firmware-5-ct-full-htt-mgt-community-12.bin-lede.018 6c692141155f5bb74c0117553d5d48ff2aaba73bd4d5e90a5044a5e2ec0faab0 firmware-5-ct-htt-mgt-community-12.bin-lede.018 /home/greearb/candela_html/downloads Example fwcfg files for 9888 and 4019 using the diet htt mgt builds: root@OpenWrt:/lib/firmware/ath10k# cat fwcfg-pci-0000\:01\:00.0.txt # For 9888 vdevs = 8 peers = 202 active_peers = 202 stations = 202 rate_ctrl_objs = 7 regdom = 840 #fwname = firmware-5-htt-mgt-b.bin fwver = 5 nohwcrypt = 0 ct_sta_mode = 0 tx_desc = 2200 #max_nss = 3 tids = 450 skid_limit = 360 max_amsdus = 3 root@OpenWrt:/lib/firmware/ath10k# cat fwcfg-ahb-a000000.wifi.txt vdevs = 8 peers = 164 active_peers = 164 stations = 164 rate_ctrl_objs = 7 regdom = 840 #fwname = firmware-5-htt-mgt-b.bin fwver = 5 nohwcrypt = 0 ct_sta_mode = 0 tx_desc = 2000 #max_nss = 3 tids = 260 skid_limit = 360 max_amsdus = 3 Thanks, Ben -- Ben Greear <gree...@candelatech.com> Candela Technologies Inc http://www.candelatech.com _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
