8Devices Mango + AsiaRF wifi module

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi to all
I am new to open wrt programming. i was asked to check the compatibility between the Mango device and the Wi-Fi module purchased from AsiaRf. it is a Pcie 2.0 module (model AW7915-NP1). Could you please advise me on the correct procedure. I won't have to program it myself, just do some function and compatibility testing.
Thank you all

Are you developing in the Mango devboard or are you using a custom board with the mango SOM?

I'm developing in the Mango. I attached the wifi module on the PCie of the Mango.

So you are using the devboard. Are you also using the openwrt that comes pre installed with that devboard?

The version is OpenWrt v4.3 f9f32c3+r49254.

It appears you are using firmware that is not from the official OpenWrt project.

When using forks/offshoots/vendor-specific builds that are "based on OpenWrt", there may be many differences compared to the official versions (hosted by OpenWrt.org). Some of these customizations may fundamentally change the way that OpenWrt works. You might need help from people with specific/specialized knowledge about the firmware you are using, so it is possible that advice you get here may not be useful.

You may find that the best options are:

  1. Install an official version of OpenWrt, if your device is supported (see https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org).
  2. Ask for help from the maintainer(s) or user community of the specific firmware that you are using.
  3. Provide the source code for the firmware so that users on this forum can understand how your firmware works (OpenWrt forum users are volunteers, so somebody might look at the code if they have time and are interested in your issue).

If you believe that this specific issue is common to generic/official OpenWrt and/or the maintainers of your build have indicated as such, please feel free to clarify.
