I have followed the steps, created the file and it doesn't work for me... but surely it's my fault.
two archives:
Fixed the chromium diffconfig. Thanks for pointing that out!
Master, 23.05, and 22.03 are all freshly built within the last day or so. Enjoy everyone!

You can sysupgrade and can keep your current settings.
Seriously? I've read several times that settings only can be kept from v21 and up. I'm also coming from v19.07. I was planning to wipe the config because of that.
@bigfist how did you go with the settings after your upgrade?
Just before preparing the flash I noticed a new build grew on Github 
Thanks! Any important changes?
And with checking SHA-256 I got confused, I selected R7800-20230607-Stable2203NSS-sysupgrade.bin for NSS/ath10k-ct, but strange enough the proper checksum is found in sha256sums-Stable2203NSS-ath10k and not in sha256sums-Stable2203NSS as I would think (reading the #1 post description). What do you think of this @ACwifidude ?
@acwifidude, 5.15 doesn't have wireguard? I can't get it to work, and neither can openVPN

Thanks friend, but I don't know how to compile, I was referring to the version that is discussed in the thread.
Now you know the package names you may try to install them via the Software menu?
Error kernel compilation
The 22.03 build has kmod-wireguard included so you should be able to configure wireguard and add wireguard packages.
Didn’t catch that wireguard has changed its nomenclature for the luci package.

Yes, problem is 23.05 anda 5.15 kernel.

Has anyone tested Ansuel's latest krait cache scaling driver patch?
I had tested kernel5.15-nss-qsdk11 branch with Ansuel’s patch for 22 days.
It seems stable.
I built latest with the patch today.

openVPN (as a server) is working for me at least on ACwifidude's 23.05 branch (as on previous branches).

Dear Any and All,
Hello and I hope that all is well with everyone. I have one simple question - make that two questions
any assistance will be greatly appreciated - thanks in advance
Question # 1 - AcWifiDude states that his Build is
Stable2305NSS is stable - I thought 2305 Branch
is on RC1 -what am I missing if anything ?
Question #2 - Can anyone layout the exact steps
necessary to REBASE Stable2305NSS. I am just
asking for future reference as I have begun to
compile my own Builds.
Maybe the thread can be updated to detail the rebase process for the new Branch 23.05.0-rc1 or Stable2305NSS
Thanks and Peace
EDIT
For those who may wish to REBASE 23.05-nss - see below :
Main Original Rebase Directions REBASE DIRECTIONS
git clone -b openwrt-23.05-nss-qsdk11 https://github.com/ACwifidude/openwrt.git
#Remove “rebase” commit (this gives you a clean build environment )
- it deletes the final bin content and diffconfig files, I’d copy the diffconfig
to a separate folder before running this command)
git reset --hard HEAD~1
git remote add upstream https://git.openwrt.org/openwrt/openwrt.git
OpenWrt 23.05 Rebase:
git fetch upstream && git rebase upstream/openwrt-23.05

It is rc1 currently but will soon be the next official stable release (1-2 months at most). I kept the nomenclature the same to make it easy to replicate like you found.

Thank you for the clarification and information regarding 23.05. I speak for all ( I am sure ) when I say I appreciate your continued dedication, expertise and time which you devote to this outstanding project.
God Bless You and Yours

Current build is pretty amazing. Thanks @ACwifidude.

I do have bad 2.4Ghz WiFi Latency / connection. (40Mhz channel 6) on the latest master ath10k build. Not sure what's the cause. Might check it on the next build. The last stable 23.05 ath10k one works great by the way.
In case anyone wants to try it out... here is the "apccv build: as close to vanilla as possible with NSS support".
Images for all supported devices in the bin directory.
Scant build instructions on GitHub readme. I don't see the reason why anybody would prefer to re-build this instead of OP build on post #1 but the details are available and it is straightforward. As with any other release build, as long as no modules are added or dropped from config (ie, only switched between <*> and <M> in config so they are/aren't part of the image, but not dropped altogether) and .config keeps the ALL_MODULES=y, the modules in repo above will be reusable for any other built image. Just mind the keys.
Part of the value of posting this in GitHub is the commit history. Feel free to check it on this or any of the previous repos. It is usually clear from it which commits need to be cherry-picked to add NSS to the vanilla image.
One issue that tripped me to no end (beyond the missing dependencies on NSS Makefiles for packages that will never be used like the noload versions) was that the toolchain build has a "defect" (up to smarter people to determine if it is or not) that requires additional headers on the build machine. For builds failing to find asm/types.h refer to the build instructions on the repo.
If there's interest I'll upload the ImageBuilder and add link here.
Similarly to previous ones:
- All
genericimages are built. All modules are built. - Key for package signature verification is in
package_keyfolder and can be copied to/etc/opkg/keysdirectory after flash to use this repo for packages. -
/etc/opkg/distfeeds.confcan be updated after flash to point to this repo for packages. Replacehttps://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/23.05.0-rc1/targets/ipq806x/generic/packages/url withhttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/APCCV/OpenWRT-23.05.0-rc1-NSS/23.05.0-rc1/bin/targets/ipq806x/generic/packages/.

On wired Ethernet performs as expected with barely any CPU use:
Routing WiFi also behaves as expected, with CPU usage below 50%:
It is not easy to compare with 22.03.x especially with only 1-2 tests but maybe marginally better. It feels more responsive than 22.03.x versions. Builds more cleanly (GRE compilation issue is gone). I am tempted to use it beyond simple testing but it's too much a hassle for a -rc. I'll be looking forward to the final version being released.
Good luck to anyone running this build... please share how it goes. Cheers!
