Issues with latest Candelatech firmware binaries files #158

Closed julianocss closed 3 years ago

Hi @greearb.

There is a problem with the latest binaries files generated in Candelatech site. My router is an Arcer C60 V2, QCA9886. The 5Ghz radio does not start with these files.

I tried to revert to "firmware-5-ct-htt-mgt-community-12.bin-lede.019 (downloaded now)" and also does not worked. The only way to start 5Ghz radio again was replacing the firmware-5.bin file from my previous OpenWRT build.

I noticed that the current file size is very different.

Old (019): 555k New (019): 477k

Dmesg is attached.

Regards, Juliano

You are loading a 4019 firmware (see "firmware ver", please show me what link you got this from if the link is mentioning 9888, which is your chipset:

You have a 9888 radio in that system, so in the firmware directory QCA9888// you need to copy 9888 firmware, not the 4019 firmware you link above. You may also have an ipq4019 radio on your system, the firmware you link above would go into /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA4019//
