Hi.
I was wondering if you have thought of developing OpenWRT for the Linksys mx4200 (mx4000 series) router. I just bought a pack of 2 Velop mx8400 (mx4200 each) and I am not very happy with the official firmware.
Thanks for your great work.

IPQ8174 - Qualcomm Hawkeye platform.
Not supported at the moment.
And in your opinion, do you think it could be supported in the near future?
(I don't know if it is not supported by drivers, or proprietary code)
Hard to tell, it's the same situation as for ipq8074 and xiaomi AX3600 (you can look in the forum threads)
- ath11k driver is not really working with the kernel 5.10
- there is no ethernet driver implementation with kernel 5.10
Okay, I understand the situation perfectly.
Thanks for the info.
Chances are that it will be supportable in the future (ipq807x is an interesting topic with OpenWrt in mind), but that doesn't magically imply that every ipq807x device will actually get OpenWrt support - as that also depends on someone with the device on their desk to do the actual porting (for which pricing and availability, just as well as the question how difficult the vendor has made it (keywords firmware format/ factory support, serial console access, etc.) are major factors).
Indeed, I could find in google a publication in Chinese in which the mx4050 router has been disassembled and explains all its internal components. In this publication he comments that the mx4050 model marketed in China is the same European mx4200 model, the one I have.
This makes sense seeing that the official firmware Linksys provides, once updated, my router is renamed mx4000 series.
In this publication in Chinese he comments that it is Qualcomm IPQ8174:
And here I can send you the official Linksys firmware, I don't know if said firmware can help you in any way:
A greeting.
BTW i can't find an uart header on the acwifi pictures.
This would make a further analysis of the device pretty hard.
I don't know if this can be used to develop an OpenWRT firmware, I don't understand much about routers or this type of compilation. But I was able to get the sysinfo that generates the official Linksys firmware and I sent it here.
(I have covered my personal data, external IP and email within my possibilities).
I found the following information curious 
Linux: Linux version 4.4.60 (root@build-vm) (gcc version 5.2.0 (OpenWrt GCC 5.2.0 998fe11+r49254) ) #1 SMP Wed Nov 11 00:57:54 PST 2020
There are UART pin header in the bottom right corner of the image here (white 6-pin JST XH connector next to JTAG): https://www.acwifi.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/SAM_84842.jpg
Any news on IPQ8174?
I ended up with a spare MX4200 to experiment with. There us a UART header on the board, pin-out is exactly the same as the v1 Velop router here.
Also appears to have a very similar boot environment to the v1 with the dual image. Flashing should be easy once we have a compatible target image.

Anything we can do to help with further exploration of this?
The next step is to get an image compatible with the IPQ8174 platform. This requires patching the OpenWRT kernel to support it which is beyond my skillset. I think it will be resolved when the kernel is bumped to a newer version, but that is in the hands of the OpenWRT maintainers.
A while back I did a GPL request for the kernel used by the MX4200, which is available on Linksys' site:
https://downloads.linksys.com/support/assets/gpl/MX4200_v1.0.12.209581.tar.gz
Looks like it runs 4.4.60, and has the config file and patches included. So at a minimum...might be able to get OpenWrt 17.01 on it with minimal changes.

Interesting! Seems like it could be a bit of a chicken and the egg problem though - can't test flashing without a test imagine and can't test the image without flashing?
TIP has ipq807x support, reckon it’s worth trying to get one up and running for the MX4200 if the flashing looks the same as the older Velop devices?
Hi All,
Just wanted to register interest in support for the MX4200.
Mine is in a cupboard awaiting news..

I've registered on here to say that I have one spare which I am happy to "donate" to the cause!
Has there been any progress with this?
I'm currently using one of these as a WAP. The WiFi 6 speeds and range are very impressive, but I would really like to unlock the full potential.
considering we have correct ipq807x support... did anyone tried to load an initramfs image on these device and check if they works? it's really for testing but it might be a good idea to check if this soc is just a ipq807x rebranded
