While helping on supporting Netgear RAX120v2 I ran into an issue with rebasing @jewest code (based on OpenWrt master from Jan 18) to latest OpenWrt master.
Since January package/firmware/ipq-wifi
switched to using the repo OpenWrt firmware/qca-wireless to pull in the BDFs.
Is there a mechanism to add a local BDF for testing/adding support a new device? Well, without having to modify package/firmware/ipq-wifi/Makefile
that is.
Simply placing the BDF file into package/firmware/ipq-wifi
didn't work.
Especially if one is going to create a PR does one have to create a PR request for the OpenWrt firmware/qca-wireless repo beforehand?
Hi
i am trying to work with a new ipq40xx device.
on 22.03.5 ipq-wifi board files were local
now on 23.05.2 things moved to online repo.
i want to test my board file locally.
i followed instructions in package/firmware/ipq-wifi/Makefile
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/f95eecfb21ff08662e022accd30e8254028ff63b/package/firmware/ipq-wifi/Makefile#L123C1-L125C41
but board-2.bin never been created under build_dir
i created directory named files under package/firmware/ipq-wifi/
and put my board bin inside it.
but with no luck.. some thing missing from code or i am doing something wrong
it is working for 22.03.5 but not 23.05.2 with new method
