hi
I have an Access Point of model IPQ6018 which is not showing up in “Target Profile” when i execute the make menuconfig command

My code branch is openwrt-24.10

Please help me how can I find my device in make menuconfig target profile.

thanks

which access point would that be, specifically ?

IPQ60xx support was recently added, I believe it only exists in snapshots.

IPQ... is SoC name, there should be a model + manufacturer name you can locate via firmware-selector.openwrt.org

Now there are three similar ones, IPQ40XX、IPQ806X、802.11ax soc-s， Can I choose one of them? If not, how can I add IPQ6018

My AP model is EAP101 from EdgeCore, and the chip used is IPQ6018

Your device is not currently supported.

Start here:
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/hw.hacking.first.steps
Whole process later:
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/add.new.device

Firmware:

Can you get boot log from device via web or ssh?

Kernel offsets + no-compression from binwalking fw file.

340994        0x53402         bix header, header size: 64 bytes, header CRC: 0x57E30830, created: 2039-08-04 08:59:44, image size: 1703936 bytes, Data Address: 0x54E30900, Entry Point: 0xA3C30, data CRC: 0x94E58000, OS: ARTOS, image type: Script file, compression type: none, image name: ""

IPQ6018 is 64 bit arm but OEM fw is 32bit, get the boot log, might not be IPQ6xxx. fcc id may help find regulatory pictures with chips.

no

like I said, snapshots will have IPQ60xx support, but that doesn't automagically make your device supported.

as it was pointed out by @brada4 in EdgeCore EAP101, model not displayed in make meunconfig - #6 by brada4, you need to add your device specific quirks too.
