Hello everyone!
Here i am using a hardware with ref board ap152.it has QCA9888 wave 2 chipset. i have build openwrt for it. but ath10k is not showing up in kernel. i have added kmod-ath10k and ath10k-firmware-qca9888 both packages in build. by doing
" ls /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9888/hw2.0/ "
i found board-2.bin and firmware-5.bin. by doing dmesg i found that kernel cant fetch board.bin so its not working. why??
So after searching a lot i found solution to do "dd" of ART partition to generate board.bin and pre-cal-pci-0000:00:00.0.bin. it resolves ath10k showing issue but new issue that mac address is not coming proper sometime. e.g. 12:34:56:78:90:12 why?
can anyone guide me the proper solution for QCA9888 board.bin and mac address??
