I was just informed that the firmware binary will beh= ave=20 differently depending on the bmi-board-id (even when the rest of the conten= t=20 is the same). The selection of an own bmi id is therefore also not an actual option. Ok,= =20 maybe in some cases but not in general. The method to have a single board-2.bin for QCA4019 and to let ath10k selec= t=20 the right one using bmi-board-id, bmi-chip-id and bus is simply not working. Either the board-2.bin is simply not used and only the pre-cal data is used= =20 (as seen in Christian Lamparter's/Michal Kazior's patch [1]) or each board = has=20 to come with its own board-2.bin. The latter brings up the license problem= =20 mentioned by Christian [2]. Both have the problem that QCA (for some reason= )=20 wants that always the board-2.bin is used which comes with the "ath10k"=20 firmware binary [3]. Kind regards, Sven [1] https://www.mail-archive.com/ath10k@lists.infradead.org/msg05911.html [2] https://www.mail-archive.com/ath10k@lists.infradead.org/msg06509.html [3] btw. this QCA seems to contradict itself here by helping ODMs to create their own boardata files --nextPart4244372.W4pXrPEJiB Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
