New staging repos for ath1*k firmware

New staging repos for ath1*k firmware

[Jeff Johnson]

Historically, prior to being incorporated into the linux-firmware
project, firmware for kernel.org ath1*k drivers has been first published
to Kalle's GitHub:
https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware
https://github.com/kvalo/ath11k-firmware
(ath12k firmware was pushed to the ath11k-firmware repo on a temporary
basis in anticipation of this move)

But in order to have repos with multiple maintainers, as well as to have
a hosting platform with more control, we have moved to CodeLinaro:
https://git.codelinaro.org/clo/ath-firmware/ath10k-firmware
https://git.codelinaro.org/clo/ath-firmware/ath11k-firmware
https://git.codelinaro.org/clo/ath-firmware/ath12k-firmware

Note that most people should not care about this -- normally you should
use the firmware that is in the official linux-firmware repo:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/

You should only need to access the staging repos if you need a previous
version to work around an issue, or if you are testing new firmware that
is supposed to fix a problem that you've reported.

Please let Kalle & I know if you have any issues with these new repos!

Can I please ask for IPQ6018 firmware to be updated to 2.9.0.1 as well?

We have added IPQ6018 support to OpenWrt but we are forced to use the old 2.4
firmware since anything newer is crashing on IPQ6018, we had the same issue on
IPQ8074 but it was fixed with 2.9.0.1 firmware.

Even for IPQ8074, there is newer 2.9.0.1 firmware that is only
available as part of
QSDK and the community would benefit from being able to use it.

Ideally, ath11k-firmware would at least contain the same blobs as the QUIC repo:
https://github.com/quic/upstream-wifi-fw.git

We are working on getting the AP chipset firmwares updated but
unfortunately no news yet.

why isnt qca releasing the latest firmwares at all. i mean we all know 
that the qca networking tree contains way newer firmwares for all 
chipsets since a long time

Kalle & I are just the conduit, but I've relayed this thread to the folks
responsible for feeding us the firmware releases.

Trust me,
the community knows that you are trying your best and a lot of things
are out of your control and we really appreciate that.

Thank you for providing that service to the community. It's much 
appreciated.

Is there a chance you could ask the team for the most recent firmware 
for QCA9379 hw1.0 SDIO (Naples)? Branch name would be WLAN.NPL.
There are currently no public releases of this firmware outside of 
what's included in the vendor blobs from some Android devices.
I'm still doing some testing on the patch I sent to support this card on 
February 28 to this list and I'd like to see if some of the issues I'm 
seeing might be a firmware issue.

Thanks!

Regards,
Felix

The final reminder that the github.com repositories will be deleted in
two weeks. If someone is still using them switch to the new
git.codelinaro.org location NOW.

Re: New staging repos for ath1*k firmware

[pgupta]

The manufacturer of my wifi7 modules (Compex) suggested I use the following repository:

https://github.com/quic/upstream-wifi-fw/tree/main/ath12k-firmware/QCN9274/hw2.0/1.3/WLAN.WBE.1.3-03253-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1

Is this part of the ath12k project?  I have seen it online but have not used it.

That (unfortunately misnamed) repository exists only for the benefit of the
QSDK project, which is a fork of OpenWRT. The firmware releases in that
project have only been validated with drivers that are part of the QSDK --
they have not been validated with upstream kernel.org drivers.

Note that the firmware move from Kalle's personal Github account to CodeLinaro
is just one step in what we hope to be a consolidation effort that is also
intended to include firmware from github.com/quic/upstream-wifi-fw as well as
independent projects containing board files.

I've asked them via their support platform. They closed the ticket after Jeff

I will ask again...

(Btw. thanks to Jeff and Kalle for managing the new firmware repositories - I

Thanks, this is not easy but we are trying to improve. It's just that
the progress is so slow that it's really frustrating.

As there are so many different branches I have lost track, do you have a
list of missing firmware updates? We could try to push for updates on
our own end as well.

Afaik, ath10k is missing various security updates - but I don't know the 
firmware version which has these security updates.

ath11k is missing the 2.9.0.1 release - which seems to be still required to 
get various APs working correctly (without a crash). Maybe Robert Marko has 
the newest firmware version (not the file - the version) somewhere.

Afaik, there are even newer ath11k versions - for example for IPQ9574 (which 
is completely missing at the moment in the repositories).

For the completely missing ones, I've submitted following list to QCA:

* ath11k/IPQ5018_QCN6122 (that might be rather complicated due to the way how 
  QCA designed this)
* ath11k/IPQ5018_QCN6122_QCN6122 (that might be rather complicated due to the 
  way how QCA designed this)
* ath11k/IPQ9574
* ath12k/IPQ5322
* ath12k/IPQ5322_QCN6432_QCN6432 (sounds a little bit like the QCN6122 
  situation)
* ath12k/QCN9274

Kind regards,
	Sven

Hi Sven,
I have actually found WLAN.HK.2.12-01368-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1 v1 ath11k FW for
IPQ8074, IPQ6018 and QCN9074 online and after looking into it, that is
actually the latest version
from QSDK 12.5.

Multiple people have contacted me since the FW spread our various
communities stating that
they have tested it out on IPQ6018 and unlike the current public FW
versions we have available
and use in OpenWrt it works stable.

So, it would help to see the new FW for IPQ6018 especially as it is
quite unstable with the current
public FW that we have to use in OpenWrt.

Regards,
Robert

I'm looking into the above. For the ath12k ones I suspect we are actually
waiting for the platform support to land in the upstream kernel, which has
some dependencies. See the current IPQ5322 RFC:

Does this help:

Hi, is it possible to release the new firmware version (2.12) for the IPQ8074?
There's a problem with the latest ath11k driver on version 2.9:
