Are there any plan to extend this to ath10k driver ? #16

Open akhila-s-rao opened 6 years ago

Considering that chips with the 802.11ac standard are becoming more and more common, are there plans to extend this to the QCA series of chips which need the ath10k drivers ? In case I plan to do this myself, could I get an indication of the kind of and amount of work I will be looking at here.

Thanks !!

ath10k leaves us no coding space. All the functionality are shifted to the firmware and are executed by the CPU of the Wi-Fi NIC.

So, it is almost impossible to extract CSI from ath10k driver unless we get the source code of the firmware.

BTW, QCA9558 works with our tool.

this could be more obvious

The https://github.com/seemoo-lab/nexmon guys have developed a strategy to work with binary blobs from Broadcom. This could potentially also be applied to Atheros.
