Feb 09 04:25:02 <owrt-snap-builds> build #260 of layerscape/armv8_64b is complete: Failure [failed images]  Build details are at http://buildbot.openwrt.org/master/images/builders/layerscape%2Farmv8_64b/builds/260  blamelist: Lech Perczak <lech.perczak@gmail.com>, Adrian Schmutzler <freifunk@adrianschmutzler.de>, Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>, Sungbo Eo <mans0n@gorani.run>
Feb 09 06:23:46 <mangix> karlp: OTOH, many are praising 802.11ax
Feb 09 06:38:44 <slh64> it's fast and can deliver quite some throughput over the range - and the corresponding SOCs are damned fast as well
Feb 09 06:39:20 <slh64> ...but still stupidly expensive
Feb 09 06:45:10 <russell--> x86 instruction decoder selftest (X86_DECODER_SELFTEST) [N/y/?] (NEW)
Feb 09 09:20:40 <russell--> hmm. just-built-from-master wdr3600 failing to boot:
Feb 09 09:20:41 <russell--> [    0.430420] m25p80 spi0.0: unrecognized JEDEC id bytes: 00, 00, 00
Feb 09 09:20:41 <russell--> [    0.436730] m25p80: probe of spi0.0 failed with error -2
Feb 09 09:44:32 <russell--> hmm, looks like ebf0d8dadeca443121f4f597c51bf6591e341caf is to blame, revert that and wdr3600 works again.
Feb 09 09:45:17 <russell--> gch981213: ^^^^^
Feb 09 12:01:20 <RobertP> is there online someone experienced with BCM drivers? I need a bit of advise if adding support for Asus RT-AC5300 with relatively new drivers (brcmfmac, new firmware bcm4366c) has some chances to work :)
Feb 09 13:13:29 <owrt-1907-builds> build #94 of x86/generic is complete: Success [build successful]  Build details are at http://buildbot.openwrt.org/openwrt-19.07/images/builders/x86%2Fgeneric/builds/94
Feb 09 13:27:08 <gch981213> russell--: Oops.
Feb 09 13:31:05 <gch981213> Weird. I've tried that driver on Qihoo C301 which is also an AR9344 router and it works fine.
Feb 09 13:45:20 <karlp> mangix: 802.11ax from whom?
Feb 09 13:48:08 <mangix> Qualcomm Crack Addicts
Feb 09 14:06:11 <karlp> that's important, as there's 802.11ax from intel, marvell, bcm, qca, quantenna/ON, mtk,
Feb 09 14:16:59 <pkgadd> ipq8074 && qcn5024/qcn5054 works quite well. bcm4908 && bcm43684 isn't too bad either, but Broadcom typical the firmware leaves a lot to be desired (especially in regards to DFS over-sensitivity)
Feb 09 14:17:35 <karlp> "err on the side of not being found liable" you mean? :)
Feb 09 14:18:16 <pkgadd> probably, I've found DFS channels to be basically unusable with bcm43684
Feb 09 14:19:27 <pkgadd> if there's anything on a DFS channel, anything at all -another AP is enough- bcm43684 will be in trouble
Feb 09 14:20:58 <pkgadd> but the crack addicts are quite fun, in comparison
Feb 09 14:22:52 <pkgadd> and the devices are usually well equipped in terms of flash/ RAM - and the SOC is fast as hell anyways
Feb 09 14:25:03 <pkgadd> they could be great devices, once they gain native OpenWrt support
Feb 09 15:09:08 <gch981213> russell--: ping - would you mind to test whether this commit fixes your issue? https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/staging/981213.git;a=commit;h=7df472492993cdb0cf191672228868e6a3776d52
Feb 09 17:02:03 <russell--> gch981213: i'll try, thanks.
Feb 09 17:18:46 <russell--> gch981213: tried it, it works! boots fine now.
Feb 09 17:26:06 <swalker> updated openwrt/upstream, https://sdwalker.github.io/uscan/index.html
Feb 09 17:28:13 <RobertP> is there online someone experienced with BCM drivers? I need a bit of advise if adding support for Asus RT-AC5300 with relatively new drivers (brcmfmac, new firmware bcm4366c) has some chances to work :)
Feb 09 18:20:57 <blocktrron> pkgadd: too bad they seem to have discontinued their first gen 802.11ax stuff already
Feb 09 18:22:39 <blocktrron> Let's see how the mainstream ipq6018 will end up. kalle pushed firmware for ath11k not too long ago
Feb 09 18:40:42 <champtar> Hi all, a bit off topic but people here might know, how do I check if a member of a kernel enum exists in C ? I would like to more or less do "#ifdef NDA_PROTOCOL".
Feb 09 18:46:30 <blogic> blocktrron: ipq6018 is cypress
Feb 09 18:46:36 <blogic> its the low end dakota type unit
Feb 09 18:46:46 <blogic> and the 1st gen was just silicon bringup
Feb 09 18:46:56 <blogic> the v2 is almost identical
Feb 09 18:47:04 <blogic> its ipq8074 hawkeye
Feb 09 18:47:22 <blogic> ath11k is rather stable already
Feb 09 18:47:35 <blogic> its performance is comparable to the sdk driver
Feb 09 18:47:48 <blogic> I am seeing some lower throughput at long ranges though
Feb 09 18:47:56 <blogic> was going to look into that this week
Feb 09 18:48:04 <blogic> i think summin is up with beamforming
Feb 09 18:50:25 <blogic> oh and i already have a owrt target ready for v5.4 hawkeye
Feb 09 18:50:44 <blogic> the problem right now is that the ethernet needs to have a fw blob loaded to the nss core
Feb 09 18:50:52 <blogic> and that is non-redistrib
Feb 09 20:44:57 <aparcar[m]> anyone knows how to use the target-metadata.pl script? what file arg does it want?
Feb 09 20:56:42 <ynezz> git grep? :) target/imagebuilder/files/Makefile:     @$(SCRIPT_DIR)/target-metadata.pl profile_mk $< '$(BOARD)$(if $(SUBTARGET),/$(SUBTARGET))'
Feb 09 20:59:24 <aparcar[m]> ynezz: yes, what is $<?
Feb 09 20:59:38 <ynezz> target-metadata.pl profile_mk .targetinfo
Feb 09 20:59:55 <aparcar[m]> ah thanks
Feb 09 20:59:59 <ynezz> $< should be first? pre-requisite
Feb 09 21:02:47 <aparcar[m]> makes sense, thank you for letting me know
Feb 09 21:04:03 <aparcar[m]> would it make sense to make every profile name unique? I think currently we have sometimes "generic", which could become "generic_x86-64", the rest is (mostly?) unique when using the device tree ID
Feb 10 01:04:58 <ka21> Hello all, which openwrt firmware image is closest to QCN5502 (MIPS 74kc) processor , device is TP-Link Archer A9 V6 wifi-router
Feb 10 01:06:03 <ka21> I could not find much info on QCN5502 processor online, except for http://en.techinfodepot.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Qualcomm#WiSoC
Feb 10 01:10:38 <pkgadd> none, you are entering unchartered territory
Feb 10 01:12:08 <pkgadd> if you're lucky, it's mostly a newer version of ath79. but the chipset itself is unknown so far
Feb 10 01:12:36 <ka21> These are the specs http://en.techinfodepot.shoutwiki.com/wiki/TP-LINK_Archer_A9_v6.x
Feb 10 01:13:01 <ka21> Yeah, there's no link to any page in Qualcomm website reg the processor
Feb 10 01:13:21 <ka21> Router comes with QCA9984 radio
Feb 10 01:14:59 <pkgadd> weird combination
