ath10k firmware crash

ath10k firmware crash

[Cedric VONCKEN]

	Hi all, 

	I'm trying to use ath10k in client mode and AP mode with 2 wireless cards (Ap on one card and client on another card).
	The AP mode work, but the client mode always crash. Please find below the ath10k crash information

	I'm using openwrt, and I have the same problem with/without configuration option "Firmware optimized for sta operation".

	Is it possible to use at the same time on 2 different cards the AP mode and client mode?

Can you then provide a crash register dump for 10.1, please? I can't
help you much with the 636 dump.

Are you perhaps trying to run STA with 4addr bridging? If so then make
sure you use recent ath10k as this was known to be a problem.

Can you also provide ath10k traces or debug logs, please?

Yes, it is possible.

Yes I'm testing with 4 addr bridging because I need to bridge this interface. I' ll try without this option.
I'm testing with commit number 38eeda3ae6f90fde5546bdd48ee4ff3090f238c0 from kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmare/linux-firmware. It is the latest version in openwrt.

Thanks.

By the way, what kernel/compat-wireless are you using? I'm suspecting
your build might be missing the fix for STA bridging.

I'm using the compat wireless from Openwrt.
	Compat wireless version 2014-05-22, but we updated the firmware with the latest version provided by openwrt (commit number 38eeda3ae6f90fde5546bdd48ee4ff3090f238c0 from kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmare/linux-firmware)

We tested without the 4addr bridging, that works fine but we can't add the interface in bridge :-(

Have you a benchmark reference with ATH10K ? at this time we can send around 700 Mbit/s, is it the maximum or we can expected better ?

The fix for 4addr STA bridging is in the driver, not the firmware.

The compat version you're using doesn't contain the required fix. I'm
pretty sure openwrt compat 2014-09-26 contains it.

If this is OTA then this is pretty good. If this is cabled RF w/
attentuator it should be possible to get ~900mbps of UDP traffic with
multiple streams on iperf. At least that's what I was getting on 10.1
firmware (on both AP and STA) last time I checked.

Getting more than 700mbps OTA requires AP and STA antenna alignment voodoo.

You mean ath10k (STA) VS WRT1900AC get up ~950mbps?
If so, could you say what's the HW, FW version you use?

My test platform is one WRT1900AC set in bridge mode with a computer.

If I use the WRT1900AC in AP mode with another computer, I have 950 mbps
If I use the cavium octon III dev plateform + ath10k driver in AP mode, I have around 700 mbps

I'm using the latest compat wireless (2014-09-26) from openwrt.
The wireless card is the WLE900VX from compex or DAXA-O1 from Unex.

The WRT1900AC have mimo 4x4 with 3 streams, and my wireless card have mimo 3x3 with 3 streams. Maybe that explains the difference.
