Wi-Fi Not Working on Sophos AP55

"Wi-Fi Not Working on Sophos A55 in OpenWrt - Firmware Issues and Driver Problems"

Hello, I am trying to get Wi-Fi working on my Sophos A55 AP with OpenWrt, but I am facing several issues related to the Wi-Fi firmware and drivers. Here is what I have encountered:

System Details:

Device: Sophos A55
OpenWrt Version: [Enter your OpenWrt version]
Wi-Fi Chipset: QCA988X

Problem Summary:

Firmware Missing:
When trying to load the Wi-Fi driver (ath10k_pci), I am getting errors related to missing firmware files:

pgsql

CopyEdit

Failed to find firmware-N.bin (N between 2 and 6) from ath10k/QCA988X/hw2.0: -12

I have tried to download the firmware from GitHub, but the files are not available (404 error).
2. Board Files Not Found:
I cannot find board.bin or board-2.bin files in the directory /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA988X/hw2.0/. I have tried downloading them from the official repository, but I’m still facing issues. The device does not seem to recognize the firmware.
3. Driver Loading Issues:
The driver ath10k_pci is not initializing properly and returns an error message:

csharp

CopyEdit

[Error] could not init core (-145)

This prevents Wi-Fi from working correctly.
4. Commands I Have Tried:

Installing necessary packages:

nginx

CopyEdit

opkg install kmod-ath10k ath10k-firmware-qca988x

Checking dmesg for errors related to Wi-Fi:

perl

CopyEdit

dmesg | grep ath10k

Manually transferring board.bin to /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA988X/hw2.0/
Trying to load the driver with:

nginx

CopyEdit

modprobe ath10k_pci
```But still no success in bringing up the Wi-Fi interface.

### What I Have Done So Far:

* Downloaded and transferred the `board.bin` file manually.
* Installed required firmware packages.
* Tried reloading the `ath10k_pci` module.
* Checked the system logs and firmware directory.

### Request for Help:

Can anyone help me with the following:

* Where can I get the correct `board.bin` and firmware files for QCA988X?
* How can I make sure the driver is loaded correctly?
* Is there something specific to **Sophos A55** that needs to be configured for the Wi-Fi to work?

Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Isn't support here AFAIK, what openwrt image are you using ?

never mind, there's typo in your 1st post, and topic.

A55 <> AP55.

please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button:

this can't be good.
ART is where the wifi calibration data is stored, it could explain why the radios aren't working.

perisa · March 14, 2025, 9:53am

Thanks everyone for your help with the Wi-Fi radiator issue on my device. As mentioned before, the ART (Access Radio Transmit) section seems to be missing or corrupted, which is causing the issue.

Does anyone have a solution for this problem? It would be useful to get a suggestion for possibly repairing or restoring the ART data.

Thanks in advance for all suggestions and help!

Kind regards,

frollic · March 14, 2025, 9:56am

ART is unique for each unit, if it's corrupted, there's not much you can do.
