firmware: add custom IPQ wifi board definitions On the ath10k-devel ML Michael Kazior stated: "board-2 is a key-value store of actual board files. Some devices, notably qca61x4 hw3+ and qca4019 need distinct board files to be uploaded. Otherwise they fail in various ways." [0]. Later on Rajkumar Manoharan explained: "In QCA4019 platform, only radio specific calibration (pre-cal-data) is stored in flash. Board specific contents are read from board-2.bin. For each radio appropriate board data should be loaded. To fetch correct board data from board-2.bin bundle, pre-cal/radio specific caldata should be loaded first to get proper board id. |My understanding until now was that: | | * pre-cal data + board-2.bin info == actual calibration data Correct." [1]. The standard board-2.bin from the ath10k-firmware-qca4019 barely works on the RT-AC58U. Especially 5GHz clients fail to connect at all and if they do, they have very low throughput even right next to the router. Currently, the solution for this problem is to supply a custom board-2.bin for every device. To implement this feature, this method makes use of: Rafał Miłecki's "base-files: add support for overlaying rootfs content". This comes with a few limitations: 1. Since there can only be one board-2.bin at the right location, there can only one board overwrite installed at any time. (All packages CONFLICT with each other. It's also not possible to "builtin" multiple package.) 2. updating ath10k-firmware-qca4019 will also replace the board-2.bin. For this cases the user needs to manually reinstall the wifi-board package once the ath10k-firmware-qca4019 is updated. To create the individual board-2.bin: Use the ath10k-bdencoder utility from the qca-swiss-army-knife repository: <https://github.com/qca/qca-swiss-army-knife> The raw board.bin files have to be extracted from the vendor's source GPL.tar archieves.

firmware/ipq-wifi: Extend for multi-chip boards This package provides board-specific reference ("cal") data on an interim basis until included in the upstream distros While originally conceived for IPQ4019-based boards, similar needs are appearing with three-radio devices. For some of these devices, both a board-2.bin file needs to be supplied both for the IPQ4019 as well as for the other radio on the board. This patch allows new or multiple overrides to be specified by: * Adding board name to ALLWIFIBOARDS * Placing file(s) in this directory named as board-<devicename>.<qca4019|qca9888|qca9984> * Adding $(eval $(call generate-ipq-wifi-package,<device>,<display name>)) (along with suitable package selection for the board) At this time, QCA4019, QCA9888, and QCA9984 are supported.

ipq40xx: Add support for Linksys EA8300 (Dallas) The Linksys EA8300 is based on QCA4019 and QCA9888 and provides three, independent radios. NAND provides two, alternate kernel/firmware images with fail-over provided by the OEM U-Boot. Installation: "Factory" images may be installed directly through the OEM GUI. Hardware Highlights: * IPQ4019 at 717 MHz (4 CPUs) * 256 MB NAND (Winbond W29N02GV, 8-bit parallel) * 256 MB RAM * Three, fully-functional radios; `iw phy` reports (FCC/US, -CT): * 2.4 GHz radio at 30 dBm * 5 GHz radio on ch. 36-64 at 23 dBm * 5 GHz radio on ch. 100-144 at 23 dBm (DFS), 149-165 at 30 dBm #{ managed } <= 16, #{ AP, mesh point } <= 16, #{ IBSS } <= 1 * All two-stream, MCS 0-9 * 4x GigE LAN, 1x GigE Internet Ethernet jacks with port lights * USB3, single port on rear with LED * WPS and reset buttons * Four status lights on top * Serial pads internal (unpopulated) "Linksys Dallas WiFi AP router based on Qualcomm AP DK07.1-c1" Implementation Notes: The OEM flash layout is preserved at this time with 3 MB kernel and ~69 MB UBIFS for each firmware version. The sysdiag (1 MB) and syscfg (56 MB) partitions are untouched, available as read-only. Serial Connectivity: Serial connectivity is *not* required to flash. Serial may be accessed by opening the device and connecting a 3.3-V adapter using 115200, 8n1. U-Boot access is good, including the ability to load images over TFTP and either run or flash them. Looking at the top of the board, from the front of the unit, J3 can be found on the right edge of the board, near the rear | J3 | |-| | |O| | (3.3V seen, open-circuit) |O| | TXD |O| | RXD |O| | |O| | GND |-| | | Unimplemented: * serial1 "ttyQHS0" (serial0 works as console) * Bluetooth; Qualcomm CSR8811 (potentially conected to serial1) Other Notes: https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Linksys_EA8300 states FCC docs also cover the Linksys EA8250. According to the RF Test Report BT BR+EDR, "All models are identical except for the EA8300 supports 256QAM and the EA8250 disable 256QAM." Signed-off-by: Jeff Kletsky <git-commits@allycomm.com>

ipq40xx: Add support for Linksys EA8300 (Dallas) The Linksys EA8300 is based on QCA4019 and QCA9888 and provides three, independent radios. NAND provides two, alternate kernel/firmware images with fail-over provided by the OEM U-Boot. Installation: "Factory" images may be installed directly through the OEM GUI. Hardware Highlights: * IPQ4019 at 717 MHz (4 CPUs) * 256 MB NAND (Winbond W29N02GV, 8-bit parallel) * 256 MB RAM * Three, fully-functional radios; `iw phy` reports (FCC/US, -CT): * 2.4 GHz radio at 30 dBm * 5 GHz radio on ch. 36-64 at 23 dBm * 5 GHz radio on ch. 100-144 at 23 dBm (DFS), 149-165 at 30 dBm #{ managed } <= 16, #{ AP, mesh point } <= 16, #{ IBSS } <= 1 * All two-stream, MCS 0-9 * 4x GigE LAN, 1x GigE Internet Ethernet jacks with port lights * USB3, single port on rear with LED * WPS and reset buttons * Four status lights on top * Serial pads internal (unpopulated) "Linksys Dallas WiFi AP router based on Qualcomm AP DK07.1-c1" Implementation Notes: The OEM flash layout is preserved at this time with 3 MB kernel and ~69 MB UBIFS for each firmware version. The sysdiag (1 MB) and syscfg (56 MB) partitions are untouched, available as read-only. Serial Connectivity: Serial connectivity is *not* required to flash. Serial may be accessed by opening the device and connecting a 3.3-V adapter using 115200, 8n1. U-Boot access is good, including the ability to load images over TFTP and either run or flash them. Looking at the top of the board, from the front of the unit, J3 can be found on the right edge of the board, near the rear | J3 | |-| | |O| | (3.3V seen, open-circuit) |O| | TXD |O| | RXD |O| | |O| | GND |-| | | Unimplemented: * serial1 "ttyQHS0" (serial0 works as console) * Bluetooth; Qualcomm CSR8811 (potentially conected to serial1) Other Notes: https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Linksys_EA8300 states FCC docs also cover the Linksys EA8250. According to the RF Test Report BT BR+EDR, "All models are identical except for the EA8300 supports 256QAM and the EA8250 disable 256QAM." Signed-off-by: Jeff Kletsky <git-commits@allycomm.com>
