The bus + bmi-chip-id + bmi-board-id is not enough to identify the correct
board data file on QCA4019 based devices. Multiple different boards share
the same values. Only the original reference designs can currently be
identified and loaded from the board-2.bin. But these will not result in
the correct calibration data when combined with the pre-calibration data
from the device.
An additional "variant" information has to be provided (via SMBIOS or DT)
to select the correct board data for a design which was modified by an ODM.

Since RFC:
- Split patch in DT doc and ath10k part (thanks Christian Lamparter)
- Remove the words "bmi-chip-id" and "bmi-board-id" and replace them with
more generic "device specific ids"

2.11.0
Board Data File (BDF) is loaded upon driver boot-up procedure. The right
board data file is identified on QCA4019 using bus, bmi-chip-id and
bmi-board-id.
The problem, however, can occur when the (default) board data file cannot
fulfill with the vendor requirements and it is necessary to use a different
board data file.
This problem was solved for SMBIOS by adding a special SMBIOS type 0xF8.
Something similar has to be provided for systems without SMBIOS but with
device trees. No solution was specified by QCA and therefore a new one has
to be found for ath10k.
The device tree requires addition strings to define the variant name
wifi@a000000 {
status = "okay";
qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant = "RT-AC58U";
};
wifi@a800000 {
status = "okay";
qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant = "RT-AC58U";
};
This would create the boarddata identifiers for the board-2.bin search
* bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=16,variant=RT-AC58U
* bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=17,variant=RT-AC58U

Since RFC:
- initialize variant pointer to have it initialized to NULL when
of_property_read_string fails (thanks Christian Lamparter)
- Only print warning that DT doesn't contain string ones (thanks Christian
Lamparter)
- Split patch in DT doc and ath10k part (thanks Christian Lamparter)
- Allow to overwrite the variant string via DT and ignore that SMBIOS had
written anything to it

Thanks for the feedback. But I am not sure what you mean by "this". Do you
mean the "qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant" entry or the "qcom,ipq4019-
$vendorstring" compatiblity string?

@Aeolus Yang / Kalle / QCA: Would it be possible to assign a variant string to
the Asus RT-AC58U?
I've attached the necessary bmi-board-id=16 and bmi-board-id=17 board
files to this mail as well. So, all that needs to be done is to add
them to the board-2.bin on your codeaurora / ath10k-firmware project.
Kalle: Can you please update the board-2.bin for the IPQ40XX on your
ath10k-firmware project on github?
https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/qsdk/oss/firmware/ath10k-firmware/plain/ath10k/QCA40XX/hw1.0/board-2.bin
It looks like this board-2.bin has support for a few more boards.
Thanks,
Christian

I have no knowledge about anything which isn't handled directly by the BDF

Thank you. Let's wait a little bit in case someone from QCA/Codeaurora
has some additional input.
But your comments were really helpful.

Hm, this would require that each calibration data has an own compatibility
string - which then has to be supported by ath10k, right? Doesn't sound like
it would work well when each vendor (with an own calibration variant) would
have to modify ath10k to get it working. This sounds especially odd because
nothing else in ath10k has to be changed. Only the board data files which will
be selected by ath10k are different on these devices.
It would then up with something like this as compatibility string:
* qcom,ipq4019-wifi-asus-rt-ac58u
* qcom,ipq4019-wifi-fritzbox-4040
* qcom,ipq4019-wifi-netgear-whatever
* qcom,ipq4019-wifi-openmesh-i-have-no-idea
* ...
But maybe I misunderstood what you've said.

Are these all the same board design or variations? In the latter case,
you should have specific compatibles anyway. Now if the variants are
the same hardware, but different configurations say for different
regions or something, then I'd say a separate property is fine.
We already have a "firmware-name" property. Would that work for you?

Hm, maybe we should specify some names better:
"qcom,ipq4019-wifi" == compatibility string for WiFi hardware inside the SoC.
It is the one which ath10k supports on the Atheros Host Bus (ahb) of the
QCA4019.
The ath10k driver will use the information from these nodes to initialize the
device. It will basically:
1. load a firmware(-5).bin from /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA4019/hw1.0/
2. load the pre-cal (aka first part of calibration) data from
/lib/firmware/ath10k/pre-cal-*
3. do some firmware magic to identify the reference design
4. load board data "files" (BDF) for this reference design from
/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA4019/hw1.0/board-2.bin
5. send the BDF data to the firmware to let it compute the final calibration
data
6. start the actual wifi stuff
The IPQ4018/4019 SoC doesn't contain the actual RF parts. There are a couple
of reference designs (SoC+RF parts) from QCA which got official numbers. These
numbers identify the BDFs inside the board-2.bin. And the board-2.bin is not
the firmware - it is a container for multiple BDFs.
To summarize:
* pre-cal is some data stored in a special partition of the devices and will
not be overwritten on updates
* board-2.bin are multiple BDF files containing the second part of the
calibration data
* pre-cal + BDF (+ some OTP stuff) are getting combined to form the complete
calibration data
Asus RT-AC58U, Fritzbox 4040 and ZyXEL NBG6617 are products based on the same
reference design. But of course, some (all?) fiddled around with the RF parts
and therefore require special BDFs. They still use the same SoC and require
that the closed source ath10k firmware behaves like on the official reference
designs. Only the BDFs have to be different.
So you could say that the wifi-chip hardware (part of the QCA4018/4019 SoC) is
the same between these different products. But the hardware around the SoC is
different and therefore requires a different "configuration"/calibration for
the surrounding RF hardware. It is not a perfect match for your "separate
property is fine" compromise. Maybe you still meant this - I let you decide.
This is not only a problem on QCA4019 but also for other devices supported by
ath10k. Waldemar Rymarkiewicz introduced the concept of BDF variants for
this [1] and implemented the support for SMBIOS. The variant string (generated
from the SMBIOS data) is then used by ath10k when it searches for the correct
BDFs in the board-2.bin. Kalle Valo suggested to use the same mechanism for
QCA401X based boards (which don't use SMBIOS).
The "qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant" is now the (more or less) equivalent of
the SMBIOS entry - but for device tree users. Let us assume that the variant
string would be "RT-AC58U" for the Asus RT-AC58U and the first wifi device
(bmi-board-id=16) gets initialized [2]. Then the step 4 would get splitted in
following steps:
4.1. Get the the qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant content
4.2. jump to 4.5. when there is no qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant
4.3. calculate BDF search name with variant string
"bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=16,variant=RT-AC58U"
4.4. load BDF and when found, jump to 5.
4.5. calculate BDF search name without variant string
"bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=16"
4.6. load the BDF
There would be no changes in ath10k when adding a new BDF calibration variant
using qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant. Only the device tree node would have to
be updated:
* device tree (simplified):
/ {
model = "ASUS RT-AC58U";
soc {
wifi@a000000 {
compatible = "qcom,ipq4019-wifi";
reg = <0xa000000 0x200000>;
status = "okay";
qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant = "RT-AC58U";
};
wifi@a800000 {
compatible = "qcom,ipq4019-wifi";
reg = <0xa800000 0x200000>;
status = "okay";
qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant = "RT-AC58U";
};
};
};
* ath10k + ath10k-firmware
<no change>
This about how the calibration [insert swearword] works for
"qcom,ipq4019-wifi" and why the "qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant" was used in
my first implementation. But then you've suggested to "use a more specific
compatible string". This information was not enough for me to understand what
you've actually meant. I was therefore proposing some examples which show what
you maybe could have meant. These were following things:
> > * qcom,ipq4019-wifi-asus-rt-ac58u

They are basically "qcom,ipq4019-wifi" + a product specific string. The first
part is therefore the string which identifies the wifi device(s) in the
QCA4018/4019 SoC. The product specific string is simply the part (or a
variation of it) which would been used before in
"qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant" - just to make it "use a more specific
compatible string".
I have no idea if this is really what you meant. I just wanted to give you
some examples and explanations why I don't feel that this a good idea. I
thought that this would help you to point me in the right direction and
explain better what you've meant.
Right now it looks to me like following must be done for your(?) proposal for
each new board:
* device tree (simplified):
/ {
model = "ASUS RT-AC58U";
soc {
wifi@a000000 {
compatible = "qcom,ipq4019-wifi-asus-rt-ac58u";
reg = <0xa000000 0x200000>;
status = "okay";
};
wifi@a800000 {
compatible = "qcom,ipq4019-wifi-asus-rt-ac58u";
reg = <0xa800000 0x200000>;
status = "okay";
};
};
};
* ath10k + ath10k-firmware
- add qcom,ipq4019-wifi-asus-rt-ac58u to
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/wireless/qcom,ath10k.txt
- add qcom,ipq4019-wifi-asus-rt-ac58u to ath10k_ahb_of_match in
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/ahb.c
- add a mapping from qcom,ipq4019-wifi-asus-rt-ac58u to the RT-AC58U
variant string somewhere in ath10k
I hope this is enough to understand it a little bit better.
Kind regards,
Sven

[2] the second wifi device for this reference design would be 17. But there
are a lot more for the other reference designs from QCA
Vendors using ath10k will like this. I mean, I'm using ath10k, and I
really like this moving forward. This will make life so much easier in
the long run.
Everyone else isn't using board-2.bin; they're just copying
calibration/board data files over so the reference driver can assemble
a board data file based on wifi0/wifi1/etc probe order, and use that.

@Aeolus Yang / QCA, any new infos how these BDFs or similar ones can be
integrated in the official [1] QCA40XX board-2.bin? OpenMesh received a board
which required modified BDFs for bmi-board-id=16 and bmi-board-id=17. This BDF
was generated by QCA and the ODM and of course conflicts with the
bmi-board-id=16/17 file in the official QCA40XX board-2.bin. The variant
string method [2,3] is currently the only way to have all these conflicting
files in the same board-2.bin.
Having the RT-AC58U already integrated in the official board-2.bin would be
good example and would reduce the barrier for other vendors (with the same
problem) a lot. For example OpenMesh could then use the same approach to get
their BDFs integrated.
Kind regards,
Sven

Is this always the case? There's never some variation beyond the

It would probably be more like: "asus,rt-ac58u-wifi", "qcom,ipq4019-wifi"
A more specific compatible is insurance that at some later point in
time you can distinguish between 2 boards due to some difference even
if now you believe they are "the same".

I think the separate property is fine if this is the only one you
envision needing to add. If there's 10 more properties, then I'd feel
more strongly towards a board specific compatible string.

Kbuild bot found a warning here:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/core.c: In function 'ath10k_core_check_d=
t':

strscpy(ar->id.bdf_ext, variant, sizeof(ar->id.bdf_ext));
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I guess warn_unused_result in strscpy() is a recent addition and that's
why you didn't see it.

Where did you get these board files from?
BTW, it seems lots of people want to add board files so I wrote
instruction how I prefer them submitted:

I checked and that should be in ath10k-firmware.git now:
$ ath10k-bdencoder --diff ../board-2.bin board-2.bin | tail -1

Sven's boarddata for the OpenMesh A42 has been accepted. \o/
So let's try to get the board data for the RT-AC58U merged.

Since some time has passed since the original submission, I just stick to
answering the questions in the the guide from:
<https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/ath10k/boardfiles>
> description for what hardware this is
The hardware is the ASUS RT-AC58U [0]. It has a IPQ4018 SoC which
hosts two ath10k wifis. <https://www.asus.com/Networking/RT-AC58U/>
It's based on the qcom-ipq4019-ap.dk01.1-c2. machid: 0x8010100 .
the 5GHz and 2.4GHz radio components were drastically changed and
as a result, the device's wifis don't work very well with the reference
board-2.bin values. The 5GHz wifi suffers the most, the max throughput
tops out at 6 Mbps, even in the best possible "lab conditions".
> origin of the board file (did you create it yourself or where you downloaded)
These files are available in ASUS's GPL Source Code release.
The source code can be downloaded from this site:
<https://www.asus.com/Networking/RT-AC58U/HelpDesk_Download/>
Just select "Driver & Tools" in the right frame and "Others"
in the "Please select OS". It's the second tab called "Source Code":
|Version 3.0.0.4.380.8119
|2017/10/30 522.32 MBytes
|GPL of ASUS RT-AC58U for firmware 3.0.0.4.380.8119
(Note: If you press "Show all", it will list two older releases as well.
The boarddata files I sent you back then came from the original
GPL_RT-AC58U_3.0.0.4.380.6516-g6772678 release. But the boarddata_*.bin
files have been updated since. So I'm attaching the new ones this time.)
The zip file contains one big GPL_RT-AC58U_3.0.0.4.380.8119-gdb642b4.tgz
which in turn contain these these two files.
asuswrt/release/src/router/qca-wifi-fw.ipq40xx/RT-AC58U/boarddata_0.bin
asuswrt/release/src/router/qca-wifi-fw.ipq40xx/RT-AC58U/boarddata_1.bin
I took the liberty of renaming the files to:
boarddata_0 -> bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=16,variant=ASUS-RT-AC58U.bin
boarddata_1 -> bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=17,variant=ASUS-RT-AC58U.bin
> ids to be used with the board file (ATH10K_BD_IE_BOARD_NAME in ath10k)
Following OpenMesh A42 example of "VENDOR-DEVICE", I choose to go with:
"ASUS-RT-AC58U" as the variant string:
full board name (ATH10K_BD_IE_BOARD_NAME):
bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=16,variant=ASUS-RT-AC58U
bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=17,variant=ASUS-RT-AC58U
{
"data": "bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=16,variant=ASUS-RT-AC58U.bin",
"names": [
"bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=16,variant=ASUS-RT-AC58U"
]
},
{
"data": "bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=17,variant=ASUS-RT-AC58U.bin",
"names": [
"bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=17,variant=ASUS-RT-AC58U"
]
},
(if this is appended at the end of board-2.json, please remove the
last comma)
> attach the actual board file (board.bin)
attached.
just in case. These are the sha256sum:
d9eb177737983ed320027d50711fd17fadc8057ff0a99d1d455342ef7a7bb1af \
bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=16,variant=ASUS-RT-AC58U.bin
24969cd91553fd915c51a8fe51c7b7e0e273679e1349b47d0a6c5ef4b4bb4a1b \
bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=17,variant=ASUS-RT-AC58U.bin
I also verified that the ASUS' firmware for the RT-AC58U
(FW_RT_AC58U_30043808119.ZIP) uses the very same files.
