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
used (based on ATH10k_USE_TXCOMPL_TXRATE2 | ATH10k_USE_TXCOMPL_TXRATE1 flags being set).
This should help CT firmware work better on stock driver.
* October 31, 2019: Compile out peer-ratecode-list-event. ath10k driver ignores the event.
* November 1, 2019: Fix rate-ctrl related crash when nss and other things were changed while
station stays associated. See bug: https://github.com/greearb/ath10k-ct/issues/96

This should fix a problem with 1560 MTU, 160Mhz on DFS channels,
some other small issues on < 5.2 kernels, and for 5.2 driver,

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

failure of wireless-regdb, so this patch makes it explicit which python

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.
2019-6-12: Fix case where extd peer-stats were not always populated.

well.

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

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.
Extension to other chips should be straightforward.
The existing files, board-*.bin, are "grandfathered" as QCA4019.
The package name has been retained for compatability reasons.
At this time it DEPENDS:=@TARGET_ipq40xx, limiting its visibility.

Release notes since last time:
Release notes for wave-1:
2019-04-02: Support some get/set API for eeprom rate power tables.
Mostly backported from 10.2
2019-04-02: Support adaptive-CCA, backported from 10.2
2019-04-02: Support adding eeprom configAddr pairs via the
set-special API. These configAddrs can be used to change
the default register settings for up to 12 registers.
2019-05-03: Fix tx-power settings for 2x2, 3x3 rates.
Original logic I put in back in 2016 set 2x2 and 3x3 lower
than the needed to be when using most NICs (very high
powered NICs would not have been affected I think, not sure
any of those exist though.)
This improves throughput for 2x2 and 3x3 devices,
especially when the signal is weaker.
Release notes for wave-2:
2019-04-08: When setting keys, if high bit of high value of
key_rsc_counter is set to 0x1, then the lower 48 bits will
be used as the PN value. By default, PN is set to 1 each
time the key is set.
2019-04-08: Pack PN into un-used 'excretries' aka
'num_pkt_loss_excess_retry' high 16 bits.
This lets us report peer PN, but *only* if driver has
previously set a PN when setting key (or set-special cmd is
used to enable PN reporting).
This is done so that we know the driver is recent
enough to deal with the PN stat reporting.
2019-04-16: Support specifying tx rate on a per-beacon packet.
See ath10k_wmi_op_gen_beacon_dma and
ath10k_convert_hw_rate_to_rate_info for API details.
Driver needs additional work to actually enable this
feature currently.
2019-04-30: Compile out tx-prefetch caching logic.
It is full of tricky bugs that cause tx hangs.
I fixed at least one, but more remain and I have wasted too
much time on this already.
2019-05-08: Start rate-ctrl at mcs-3 instead of mcs-5.
This significantly helps DHCP happen quickly, probably
because the initial rate being too high would take a while
to ramp down, especially since there are few packets sent
by the time DHCP needs to start.
This bug was triggered by me decreasing retries of 0x1e
(upstream default) to 0x4. But, I think it is better to
start with lower initial MCS instead of always having a
very high retry count.

Added basic support to get the device up and running for a sysupgrade
image only.
There is currently no way back to factory firmware, so this is a one-way
street to OpenWRT.
Install from factory condition is convoluted, and may brick your device:
1) Enable SSH and disable the CLI on the factory device from the web user
interface (Management->Advanced)
2) Reboot the device
3) Override the default, limited SSH shell:
a) Get into the ssh shell:
ssh admin@192.168.1.1 /bin/sh --login
b) Change the dropbear script to disable the limited shell. At the
empty command prompt type:
sed -i '/login_ssh/s/^/#/g’ dropbear
/etc/init.d/dropbear restart
exit
4) ssh in to a (now-) normal OpenWRT SSH session
5) Flash your built image
a) scp openwrt-ipq40xx-engenius_ens620ext-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
admin@192.168.1.1:/tmp/
b) ssh admin@192.168.1.1
c) sysupgrade -n
/tmp/openwrt-ipq40xx-engenius_ens620ext-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
6) After flash completes (it may say "Upgrade failed" followed by
"Upgrade completed") and device reboots, log in to newly flashed
system. Note you will now need to ssh as root rather than admin.

------------
1. Grab the uboot for the Device from the 'u-boot-fritz3000'
subdirectory. Place it in the same directory as the 'eva_ramboot.py'
script. It is located in the 'scripts/flashing' subdirectory of the
OpenWRT tree.
2. Assign yourself the IP address 192.168.178.10/24. Connect your
Computer to one of the boxes LAN ports.
3. Connect Power to the Box. As soon as the LAN port of your computer
shows link, load the U-Boot to the box using following command.
> ./eva_ramboot.py --offset 0x85000000 192.168.178.1 uboot-fritz3000.bin
4. The U-Boot will now start. Now assign yourself the IP address
192.168.1.70/24. Copy the OpenWRT initramfs (!) image to a TFTP
server root directory and rename it to 'FRITZ3000.bin'.
5. The Box will now boot OpenWRT from RAM. This can take up to two
minutes.
6. Copy the U-Boot and the OpenWRT sysupgrade (!) image to the Box using
scp. SSH into the Box and first write the Bootloader to both previous
kernel partitions.
> mtd write /path/to/uboot-fritz3000.bin uboot0
> mtd write /path/to/uboot-fritz3000.bin uboot1
7. Remove the AVM filesystem partitions to make room for our kernel +
rootfs + overlayfs.
> ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 --name=avm_filesys_0
> ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 --name=avm_filesys_1
8. Flash OpenWRT peristently using sysupgrade.
