I am uneducated in terms of firmware, hence I'd very grateful if someone explained to me why kernel version is so important? Also, did I understand correctly that such hardware/chip was not supported before OpenWRT/Linux? Should this hardware support be merged into Linux kernel?
Even though I understand so little, thank you very much for all your efforts!
Heads up I am repo hopping again 
sorry.
Hi @solidus1983 Does recent developments in this thread mean an official OpenWrt firmware will come for this router?
Or still a long way away
Dropping by just to say a big Thank You to everyone working on the OpenWrt firmware for the AXT1800 
As slh has said 0 chance with RC 23.05 possible chance on 24.x branch.
Does the new source code support CPU frequency customization?
Still no support yet, hitting an issue of the CPU being 800mhz's again so trying to fix that.
Have been reading forums on here and gl.inet's website regarding this device.
I tried to update uboot by going into https://192.168.1.1/uboot.html and uploading the uboot file.
However my device never came back online. I waiting for ~30mins. The LED is off and doesn't turn on now.
Is it totally bricked? Anyway to unbrick the device now?
It was the bad uboot file. it did not download properly. I didn't check the md5 before updating.sigh.
Tested, ipq6018-dummy-regulator.dtsi Still invalid.
Plug in a usb cable into the device although it needs to be an A to A cable.
Yeah no matter what I have tried the CPU issue is still present of 800mhz.
I will try. But I have already initiated a replacement.
Can someone here give support for how to run “ initramfs” for this router?
I would like to test the firmware by running it from RAM first
Simple, Setup a TFTP server and download the itb file and rename it to .img then using a serial connection aka UART boot into uboot and then use tftpboot <filename>.img and then bootm
Thanks! I will try that
Is this pull request related to our router? https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/12923
It's author mentions working on support of IPQ6018 family.
Only orthogonally.
That PR merely prepares the ipq807x target to become a host of multiple subtargets, by renaming ipq807x to qualcommax - but at this point, ipq807x remains its only supported subtarget. While it helps to add ipq60xx in some time in the future (and robimarko is working on it, but facing quite a few issues with the broken clocksetup in mainline), but that hasn't happened yet.
So, related - yes'ish, but it won't help you today, next week or next month.
Before everyone panics, the webserver is down yes and will be throughout our tomorrow and possibly the day after due to power being off for electrical works.
Once this has been completed the server will return.
Where can I download the frimware for the most recent version you made
