Hardware:
SOC: Qualcomm IPQ4018
RAM: 128 MB Nanya NT5CC64M16GP-DI
FLASH: 16 MB Macronix MX25L12805D
ETH: Qualcomm QCA8075 (4 Gigabit ports, 3xLAN, 1xWAN)
WLAN: Qualcomm IPQ4018 (2.4 & 5 Ghz)
BUTTON: Shared WPS/Reset button
LED: RGB Status/Power LED
SERIAL: Header J8 (UART, Left side of board). Numbered from
top to bottom:
(1) GND, (2) TX, (3) RX, (4) VCC (White triangle
next to it).
3.3v, 115200, 8N1
Tested/Working:
* Ethernet
* WiFi (2.4 and 5GHz)
* Status LED
* Reset Button (See note below)
Implementation notes:
* The shared WPS/Reset button is implemented as a Reset button
* I could not find a original firmware image to reverse engineer, meaning
currently it's not possible to flash OpenWrt through the Web GUI.
Installation (Through Serial console & TFTP):
1. Set your PC to fixed IP 192.168.1.12, Netmask 255.255.255.0, and connect to
one of the LAN ports
2. Rename the initramfs image to 'C0A8010B.img' and enable a TFTP server on
your pc, to serve the image
2. Connect to the router through serial (See connection properties above)
3. Hit a key during startup, to pause startup
4. type `setenv serverip 192.168.1.12`, to set the tftp server address
5. type `tftpboot`, to load the image from the laptop through tftp
6. type `bootm` to run the loaded image from memory
6. (If you want to return to stock firmware later, create an full MTD backup,
e.g. using instructions here https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/installation/generic.backup#create_full_mtd_backup)
7. Transfer the 'sysupgrade' OpenWrt firmware image from PC to router, e.g.:
`scp xxx-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/upgrade.bin`
8. Run sysupgrade to permanently install OpenWrt to flash: `sysupgrade -n /tmp/upgrade.bin`
Revert to stock:
To revert to stock, you need the MTD backup from step 6 above:
1. Unpack the MTD backup archive
2. Transfer the 'firmware' partition image to the router (e.g. mtd8_firmware.backup)
3. On the router, do `mtd write mtd8_firmware.backup firmware`

The release notes since last time for wave-1:
* No changes to wave-1, but I make a version .014 copy anyway to keep
the makefile in sync.
The release notes since last time for wave-2:
* December 16, 2019: Wave-2 has a fix to make setting txpower work
better. Before setting the power was ignored at
least some of the time (it also appeared to work
mostly, so I guess it was being correctly set in
other ways).

The release notes since last time for wave-1:
* October 5, 2019: Fix too-short msg caused by invalid use of PayloadLen in receive path.
This appears to resolve the issue of getting (and ignoring) too-short commands
when we detect loss of CE interrupts and go into polling mode.
* October 12, 2019: Fix regression in IBSS mode that caused SWBA overrun issues. Related to
regression added during the ct-station logic, specifically TSF allocation.
Thanks for Ahmed Zaki @ Mage-Networks for helping to diagnose and test.
* October 15, 2019: Only send beacon tx completion events if we can detect CT driver is being
used (based on CT_STATS_OK flag being set). This should help CT firmware work
better on stock driver.
The release notes since last time for wave-2:
* October 15, 2019: Only send beacon tx completion events if we can detect CT driver is being

This should help CT firmware work better on stock driver.
* October 31, 2019: Compile out peer-ratecode-list-event. ath10k driver ignores the event.

wave-1 firmware changes since last update:
* June 24, 2019: Try allocating low-priority WMI msgs if high-prio are not available.
* June 24, 2019: Init rate-ctrl to start at lowest rate instead of in the middle. Hoping
this helps DHCP when station connects from a long distance.
wave-2:
* June 24, 2019 Start rate-ctrl at minimal values to help DHCP work better for far-away peers.
* July 24, 2019 Fix old regression that made /a (and probably /b/g) perform poorly, at least on
diet-compiled images.
* Aug 8, 2019 Improve a/b/g rate-ctrl by damping the PER swings caused by the all-or-nothing logic
of transmitting non-block-ack frames one at a time.

wireless-regdb fails to build if there is python2 installed from package
feeds, as staging_dir/hostpkg/bin/python is python2 and
staging_dir/hostpkg/bin takes precedence over staging_dir/host/bin
(proper place with python -> python3 symlink) which leads to the build
failure of wireless-regdb, so this patch makes it explicit which python
should be used.

wave-1:
2019-05-09: Tweak rate-ctrl: Ramp PER up faster, down slower. This
helps throughput in rate-vs-range test, especially with
nss1.
2019-05-20: Disable adaptive-CCA. I am not sure it helps, and it may
make it slower to detect noise that should tell the system
to stop transmitting. If someone has means to test this
properly, I'd be happy to work with them.
wave-2:
2019-05-15: Fix problem where rate-ctrl sometimes used rix of 0x0.
2019-05-15: Allow raw-tx of encrypted frame. Requires a patch to the
driver to use raw mode when skb has WEP flag enabled AND
skb is flagged to not be encrypted. Lightly tested.
2019-05-16: Fix tx-hang that happened when rate-ctrl chose an OFDM rate
for 20Mhz and sent that as AMPDU. To fix, limit to (V)HT
rates if peer is (V)HT. It seems that MCS0 (V)HT20 should
have as good of a chance of being detected as CCK or OFDM.
2019-06-06: Disable TX-BFEE, TX-BFER for IBSS connections. I suspect
this is part of the tx-hang issue seen with IBSS between
two 9984 radios.
2019-06-12: Fix rx-rate reporting in 'fw_stats' logic. This was at
least partly due to regressions I had added earlier when
working on some multi-vdev enhancements.

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

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."
