seems like there is no SPI flash but NAND only, so best thing to do would be to dump NAND chip and find offset at which ART partition resides. then you can adjust above suggested address accordingly. also double check extraction scripts.
Look into previous post - there is spi flash. I can read it. I also added a small debug to check if it reads calibration data - and reads.

still, check that script what it does with the data once read off the board, and verify that it does intended - add more printks if needed. i have this same soc in lbe5ac-gen2 and the wifi gets detected without troubles. did you try it on ath79 target?
Mikrotik is not exists in ath79.
and why is that? considering how messy it's code in ar71xx is it would benefit more than other manufacturers from porting to ath79. one more thing you could try is to load ath9k with debug set to show all messages. maybe it gives some clue
Well, is pretty much due to the fact that MikroTik support is usually much harder to achieve due to all of the workarounds needed.
And also, I started to work on some QCA953X based MT devices under ath79, but UART wont work on those even with hard config changed and RouterBoot actually offering UART.
Just take a look at IPQ40xx MikroTik support struggles.
@cezary Can you provide me with hard config dump so I can take a look at it?
@robimarko see
https://dl.eko.one.pl/test/rb912uag-2hpnd-out-r2/ for R2
https://dl.eko.one.pl/test/rb912uag-2hpnd-out for old (r1?)
Hm, they look really similar and tag 22 length is the same, but R2 apears to have tags 37 and 39 for which I have not found what they actually mean.
I just started working on the Basebox2 ath79 support, but I have the old R1
So is anybody able to make any support for Revision 2 devices? I managed to run everything apart from embedded wifi. It is not initialized and is even not discovered on any bus... I'm loking for help to solve this issue...
It looks like I have the same problem on rb951ui-2hnd r2. Support for Mikrotik rb951ui-2hnd r2
do you have any progress in solving the problem and how were you able to launch usb?
Check board. Maybe mikrotik changed something, added the latch or different gpio is used to activate usb power.
power supply on usb is present.
Good afternoon. I have a similar problem. I bought several Mikrotik RB912UAG-2HPnD r2 routers and decided to install OpenWrt. Some work fine, but in others I see errors in WiFi. I did not find big differences between routers. I tried to install the same firmware on each device, but the problem was not solved: iw dev and iw list did not return any data to the failed device, the wireless interface was not detected, and the item “Wireless” did not appear in web interface of the router. However, I decided to write to support@mikrotik.com (mailto: support@mikrotik.com) and decided to ask if there were any hardware updates in the last 4 months. To which they replied that over the past 4 months there were no updates.
I disassembled both devices - working and not working - and compared in hardware. Found the differences. (Ay-ah-ah, lying is bad).
I enclose photos and dmesg-logs of both routers.

( the long way ) boot with max loglevel and/or build with ATHDEBUG if available...
Hi,
Clear info!
I would like to offer some help here to get this fixed.
Would you be willing to send me the 2 boards for analysis to my address?
I would send them back at any time you want afterwards.
We have dozens of boards similar to this (rb912 and rb922) but they are the 5Ghz versions and we didnt encounter this so far.
But it seems we could if 912 5ghz would have r2 flavours suddenly ..
Thank you,
Koen
I'm afraid not. I live in Russia and there are big delivery problems. Also, the problem seems to be clearing up.
There is an assumption that the transceiver does not work because the routers were started without antennas. With such a start, it is very likely that the transceiver will burn out, and this probability increases with each second of such work. When you try to turn on the wireless interface, a voltage is applied to the network module, which, if no antennas are connected, can burn this module.
Somewhere on the expanses of the Mikrotik forum there is a warning that the antennas should be installed the first time you turn on the RB912UAG-2HPnD r2.
The problem is not with the antennas. Try to read the dump from the flash memory of the working device and upload it to the device where the wifi does not work.
you'd still get a working interface, limited to a range of a meter or two at most
I just received a new batch of 912 boards here at the office .. and they are v2.
I'm seeing the issue now.
The only visual differences are:
- 2 different capacitors
- different start of MAC
- different sticker font
Picture:
http://www.xback.be/rb912v2_1.jpg
I'll check what can be done to support these ..
In my version there is also another chip for voltage monitoring, the old version has ne555 near the SIM card slot, new - ZT2046Q like wap lte.
