19.07.3 vs Master and qca9984 #148

Closed DanielRIOT closed 3 years ago

DanielRIOT commented 4 years ago

I'm not sure if this is due to differences in kernel 4.14 and 5.x, PCI issues of ath10k. -EDIT : seems to be with the master build, and only one of my 2 test boards show the problem on 19.07.1, ( both show the problem on master )

when I use the master build the system seems to fail after loading firmware to the PCIe cards ( qca9984 ) , they seem OK when using a 19.07.3 build and manually installing ath10k-ct and the ct-htt firmware

OpenWrt master ( OpenWrt SNAPSHOT, r13545-efde716d14 ) vs 19.07.3

Platform : mvebu : Solidrun clearfog A1 rev 2.1 ( pro ) : NIC : Compex WLE1216V5-20, Compex WLE1216V2-20 ( qca9984 ) Driver : kmod-ath10k-ct Firmware : ath10k-firmware-qca9984-ct-htt

dmesg : happy Using 19.07.3 release from https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/19.07.3/targets/mvebu/cortexa9/ : .

Are there any /lib/firmware/ath10k/fwcfg* files on your system that fails?

I suspect this is an issue with the Solidrun A1 PCIe implementation between the older and newer kernel version. We've moved to use the Compex WPQ865 and x86 , I think its best to close this for now until I can get back to testing the Solidrun boards at some later date
