Adding OpenWrt support for Xiaomi AX3600 (Part 1)

dchard · 2021-12-27T21:31:09.725Z

I have to wait a bit then, as the AX6 is my main router, and without wired it would be weird

Are you seeing PCI issues when any module is using AHB as well or is it only when ath11k is loaded for both ?

robimarko · 2021-12-28T10:26:23.143Z

AHB is an internal silicon type bus, it's not like other protocol type buses, it behaves as if it's one part of the silicon and is MMIO based.

So it's got nothing to do with AHB itself, ath11k is probably broken in multiple ways and is trying to reuse the same memory or whatever for QMI for both devices.

@robimarko I flashed your pre-built image with AX3600, so far so good. My AC clients go up to 800 Mbps! One question though: is there any way to get pre-compiled kernel modules work as well or is self compiling the only way?

robimarko · 2021-12-28T10:57:09.776Z

There are no other precompiled kernel modules other then those pulled in to the image, so there is no way.
For others, you gotta recompile

I've already build ax3600 and ax6 based on robimarko:IPQ807x-5.10-backports with all kernel modules. See packages.z

I have flashed it too, but I cannot activate radios. Any solution? Cheers.

Do it mean that this generic one is going to work on my AX9000 as well and that I can try it ?

robimarko · 2021-12-28T19:05:04.054Z

No, there is no generic image that just magically works

I am using GitHub Actions to have robimarko’s repo built automatically with my custom packages. It’s here: https://github.com/rodriguezst/ipq807x-openwrt-builder

It works by checking daily for new commits in robimarko’s repo and if new commits are found a new build is triggered using my custom packages. Feel free to fork my repo and adapt it to your needs (adding the kernel modules or packages you need).

Hello. Today i have installed prebuilt robimarko's OpenWRT, and can't get 160 MHz WiFi width working. WLAN interface even doesn't appear, and LuCI says that network is disabled. Is this a common bug?

Gingernut · 2021-12-29T09:41:12.328Z

You need to set the country code for it to come up.

piontec · 2021-12-29T11:03:01.200Z

Perfect! And wireguard already is there

Unfortunately this error is kind of known and expected, as ax3600 (and similar devices) is at very early stage of support.
That means the code to support these devices is not committed nor merged into official OpenWRT yet, hence these errors.
So if you need a package you need to compile it and include it into your own image.

dimfish · 2021-12-29T12:33:14.253Z

You can install my build (see above) then unpack packages.7z to FTP and chenge to
src/gz openwrt_core ftp://IP_ADDREESS/packages

rid · 2021-12-29T13:12:30.467Z

Yep. it works like a charm.

AlexanderBaransky · 2021-12-29T16:51:06.815Z

Installed @dimfish build, but there are very slow WiFi 6 speeds, just like on generic robimarko's images. With iperf3 server running on the router I get 25 mbps on upload, and 250 mbps download. On stock fw there was 300/300 stable. No matter Windows or Linux, i get the same results. On generic image, on dimfish build, even on mine build, the same. 160 MHz width enabled succesfully with CN country code. LuCI shows high connection speeds 1000+ mbps, but in practise... Tests done on the PC with Intel AX200. What's strange, i get higher upload results via 2,4GHz network (N mode), and phone connected via AC also gets higher upload results. Unfortunately i don't have any other devices that support AX. So, could you help me? Installed in "dualboot" with stock fw, system log here: https://katb.in/rujahubunok

Did you add this to your wireless config? option he_bss_color '8'

Thanks, that helped
