To whomever may can help,
I'm writing because I am having an issue with ath10k + OpenWRT + ath10k firmware 10.2.2.60.14.
Currently my company has a license to the AR9888 firmware. We have version 10.2.2.60.14. I know this is a rather old version but this is what we have access to for now. We are able to build the firmware and we are working on making some custom firmware changes. I am working with OpenWRT 15.05 and a Compex WPJ344 board and a AR9888 802.11ac chip.
After building the firmware, I am left with several binaries including athwlan.bin and otp.bin. I run the following command to use the firmware encoder to create the firmware binary:
qca-swiss-army-knife/tools/scripts/ath10k$ python ath10k-fwencoder -c --otp otp.bin --firmware athwlan.bin --set-fw-api 3 --set-wmi-op-version 10.2 --set-htt-op-version unset
I am using the ath10k-fwencoder script found here:
https://github.com/qca/qca-swiss-army-knife/blob/master/tools/scripts/ath10k/ath10k-fwencoder
I then copy the firmware to the correct location so that it is created when I build my OpenWRT image. After I copy the device image to memory, I boot the device. During bootup I see the following logs:
[ 11.940000] PCI: Enabling device 0000:00:00.0 (0000 -> 0002)

And when I review the /etc/config/wireless once the bootup process is complete file I see that AR9888 shows up as a PCI card (radio0):
config wifi-device radio0
option type mac80211
option channel 36
option hwmode 11a
option path 'pci0000:00/0000:00:00.0'
option htmode VHT80
# REMOVE THIS LINE TO ENABLE WIFI:
option disabled 1
config wifi-iface
option device radio0
option network lan
option mode ap
option ssid OpenWrt
option encryption none
config wifi-device radio1
option type mac80211
option channel 11
option hwmode 11g
option path 'platform/ar934x_wmac'
option htmode HT20
# REMOVE THIS LINE TO ENABLE WIFI:
option disabled 1
config wifi-iface
option device radio1
option network lan
option mode ap
option ssid OpenWrt
option encryption none
However, when I try to enable the AR9888 card and boot it up (calling "eifi" at the command line) I get the following error. The firmware crashes and the device tries to restart it again, and this continues forever.
I am not sure how to make sense of the firware crash dump there. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Or have any tips about how to interpret this firmware dump that ath10k gives? I am happy to provide any additional requested details. Thank you.
