I still don't understand. Where should I place the board.bin file in my PR file tree to have it included ? Or are you referring to something else ?

[robimarko]

This is not valid, its not even wrapped by ath10k-bdencoder, it just looks like plain BDF

[grosjo]

This is the board.bin from the initial firmware

What should I do to make it valid ?

[robimarko]

Yes, but its just plain BDF.

For use in OpenWrt you need to wrap it with ath10k-bdencoder

[grosjo]

@robimarko Can you explain how ? No docs available here...

@grosjo ath10k-bdencoder tool: https://github.com/qca/qca-swiss-army-knife/blob/master/tools/scripts/ath10k/ath10k-bdencoder

1. Rename your BDF to bus=pci,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=16,variant=KuWfi-WB5G08.bin (your board-id is 16)
2. Create board-2.json file:

   [
       {
           "names": [
               "bus=pci,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=16,variant=KuWfi-WB5G08"
           ],
           "data": "bus=pci,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=16,variant=KuWfi-WB5G08.bin"
       }
   ]
   

3. Run ath10k-bdencoder -c board-2.json -o board-kuwfi_wb5g08.qca9888
