If I remember correctly there is a dedicated command to check secure boot...
From memory you should see some uboot logs for image signature validation when secure boot is enabled.
If it's anything like QCOM MSM it's enforced from a boot ROM level (validate PBL) then PBL validates uboot/sbl. As there are no logs from PBL or uboot regarding image verification I'd say secure boot is off.
I added similar "how to open cover" photos to wiki as for R7800.

I also have a TP-Link Deco x60 system (3 of them) and a Netgear AX12 that I'd like to use on OpenWrt. It has a IPQ8071 and IPQ8074 chip respectively. The biggest incentive is because the new TP-Link system REQUIRES phone home to TP-Link in HK via USA servers (which has obviously some political issues right now). What can I do to help?

Hey there,
I am reading your progress over the time for the past few months so first thank you for all the people who take part in the effort of porting IPQ807X to OpenWRT.
I really want to buy a 802ax compatible device, which have the highest possibility to get support from openwrt in the future. would you suggest me to go with the ax3600 (xiaomi) or due to all the non-standard problems that you've raised it might don't get a port ?
Thank you
sorry for offtopic
just for the info AX3600

It´s the same, maybe we can flash the international version.
I wish I could get the global firmware for the mi AX3600, patch it to keep SSH and flash it on my chinese edition of the device.

some bought from this seller and got the global version
I have the CN version too, i want to convert it to international version
https://www.mi.com/global/mi-aiot-router-ax3600/specs/
Not sure where we can download the international firmware
At the moment is not possible download the international firmware version.
is it possible to do that without SSH access ?
sniffing address of xiaomi update server using wireshark may be enough
EDIT: it's even easier, if You have pending update just go to

BTW maybe let's stop offtopic, and move to new thread dedicated to INT firmware
