Missing board ID 4634 in board-2.bin for QCN9274

Thu May 15 18:41:36 PDT 2025

Hi all,
Just a quick follow-up on the QCN9274 (Compex WLE7002E25) issue I
posted earlier, where board data fails to load due to missing entries
in board-2.bin.

I contacted Compex directly to inquire about support or firmware, but
unfortunately they stated they do not provide technical support for
modules used outside of commercial or project-based applications, as
this was purchased for personal/hobby use.

Thanks again for all the work on ath12k!

Best regards,
Siddiq

There is also a software solution with a new .bin file they have, but I opted for hardcoding and sent the modules back to them. I would reach our to their support.
