Hi, the firmware 10.4-3.6-00140 crashed [1] when the 5GHz of the PA1200 was set up. It was noticed that this is somehow related to the option baseEepHeader.nonLinearTxFir which was set to 1. There was no feedback from QCA and the manufacturer about this problem. So as only known workaround (with the latest firmware), this option was set to 0 and the modified BDFs were integrated in OpenWrt [2].
Now to the questions from the wiki page [3]:
* description for what hardware this is:
- it is a IPQ4019 based board
- one QCA40xx radio is used as 2.4GHz radio
- one QCA40xx radio is used as 5GHz radio
* origin of the board file (did you create it yourself or where you
downloaded)
- the file from ath10k-firmware was modified by setting the
baseEepHeader.nonLinearTxFir to 0 to work around a crash in the ath10k-
firmware
* ids to be used with the board file (ATH10K_BD_IE_BOARD_NAME in ath10k)
- BoardNames[0]:
'bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=16,variant=PlasmaCloud-PA1200'
BoardLength[0]: 12064
BoardCRC32[0]: b587e755
BoardMD5[0]: 4129d301ee1a697af1fa311afcad6f87
- BoardNames[1]:
'bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=17,variant=PlasmaCloud-PA1200'
BoardLength[1]: 12064
BoardCRC32[1]: 680fe0ec
BoardMD5[1]: 928c27310acfdef356ce6d6a5cdfc1f2
* attach the actual board file (board.bin)
- The name of the files are equal to the id string in the board-2.bin
(minus the ".bin")
Kind regards,
Sven
