ath10k firmware version - 10.4

[sunder Kumaresan]

Hello all,


Trying to use  QCA9980 hardware with ath10k version using 10.4 version firmware.  The recommended kernel version is 4.2 from the link https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/ath10k/firmware.


 From the link ,“git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/agruen/linux.git" kernel version 4.2.0(rc7).



In the file, drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/pci.c supports for the following devices. 



static const struct pci_device_id ath10k_pci_id_table[] = {

        { PCI_VDEVICE(ATHEROS, QCA988X_2_0_DEVICE_ID) }, /* PCI-E QCA988X V2 */

        { PCI_VDEVICE(ATHEROS, QCA6174_2_1_DEVICE_ID) }, /* PCI-E QCA6174 V2.1 */

        {0}

};

 

It does not show up for QCA9980.



The kernel version beyond  4.4 provides support for QCA99X0. 



The kernel version 4.7 ath10k driver has been back-ported to 4.1 has been used  using yocto SDK 2.0 version .  The interface comes up.  



But, When boardData_AR900B_CUS239_5G_v2_001.bin  and boardData_AR900B_CUS260_2G_v2_002.bin  have been renamed as board xxx. bin files.  It shows up as mismatch in the magic number.



Want to know correct   version of Linux kernel  and its location.
