For Developers

Awesome job !

897

I'm using my router as relay or access point. No dhcp. How can I login to interface without resetting.

Hi guys. Any progress? I want to order this router, but still afraid that it won't be supported by OpenWRT. Thank you so much for your work.

Hi,
If you look a little bit ahead, dev are actually busy on their personal life.
You can look progress here : https://github.com/robimarko/openwrt/commits/AX3600-v5.10
Someone also tried to build an image with the work of LGA1150, but their are still work needed.

Their is also a Chinese image available, I don't know if someone tried.

And, as always, no ETA :slight_smile:

Hi guys,

I've read that and issue is the switch driver, and I've seen that some ipq40xx use the qca8075 switch and I've found this in the openwrt source:

Can't this driver be used for our switch as well?

905

You do realize that the author of that commit, and one of the two developers trying to port OpenWrt to the ax3600 are the same person?

QCA8075 is not a switch. It is just a 5-in-1 PHY.

@LGA1150

Do you have a fully functional build you could post somewhere for the community?

908

Unfortunately no

With regard to the ath11k c000000.wifi: qmi ignore invalid mem req type 3 error, there are two new patches for better qmi debug messages here and here. It might be worth backporting and doing a debug build with CONFIG_ATH11K_DEBUG set, boot with debug, and see if something more helpful pops up.

I found this link on this thread:

Known bugs:

The luci interface cannot turn on WiFi6, it must be set to 11AC(WiFi5) first, and then turn it on in the terminal:

80MHz bandwidth

uci set wireless.radio0.htmode=HE80

Or 160MHz bandwidth

uci set wireless.radio0.htmode=HE160

Restart wifi

uci commit wireless
wifi reload
The kernel log will output bss channel survey timed out errors from time to time

For the same reason, the status page and network-interface/wireless page may get stuck for nearly 1 minute

A bug in the PCIe driver makes IoT dedicated WiFi unavailable

Other considerations:

The wired network driver of IPQ807x uses a DSA-like architecture, and each network port is a physical interface in OpenWrt:

WAN = eth0

LAN1 = eth1

LAN2 = eth2

LAN3 = eth3

I'm not sure if that openwrt image from the link was already tested but you can use the commands to check if it fixes the AX wifi

@robimarko
I noticed your QCA807x patch from last week. Does it resolve any existing issues with the AX3600?

912

No. It is for QCA8072/5 PHYs, not the IPQ807x SoCs

I've seen that the new debug messages were added to detect an issue under some situations, more info here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=210923#c4 the error seems different, but maybe the new debug messages con confirm something as @plevine suggests.
