neggles: yeah ill prolly look for another readio sometime, what do you think about the mediatek one, mt7921k?

neggles: Right, I completely forgot Wi-Fi Direct was a thing. Probably because I don't care about it. :P
<\x>
rsalvaterra: tbh atleast for 2.4GHz n, ax200 seems fine, but yeah this radio is really limited
<neggles>
rsalvaterra: i don't think i've ever used it for anything other than sending my neighbor's printer strange documents
<neggles>
\x: well yeah, it's a client radio, not an AP radio - AFAIK the only AX radio with decent open-source linux support at the moment is the MT7915E
<neggles>
only 802.11ax AP radio i mean
<\x>
ill keep that in mind
<neggles>
the chip can do 2x2 simultaneous dual band, or 4x4 single band
<\x>
i wonder if ipq4019's cpu can handle it
<\x>
though yeah i dont think mt7915 mini pcie is out there anyway
<neggles>
it is!
<\x>
oh wow
<\x>
>inb4 its much more expensive than my device
<neggles>
I found one somewhere.... it was about US$50-60
<\x>
I only paid 24$ for my r619ac so yeah
<\x>
and I only tried various pcie devices on it, old intel wifi n cards (6300, 6205), ax200 and an nvme
<neggles>
btw most of the devices on the market with an MT7915 radio use an MT7622 SoC, which is a quad cortex-A53 - the ipq4019 is only cortex-A7 but it won't be *too* far behind
<neggles>
the ipq5xxx series are the QCA "cheap wifi 6" SoC though
<\x>
yeah, I guess at best maybe an ax1200 radio is maximum for this
<\x>
not ax2400 class ones
<PaulFertser>
neggles: MT7915E isn't the same as MT7915D, so not all of them are DBDC.
<neggles>
PaulFertser: you're right and I was just about to mention that
<\x>
maybe in the future mt7921k will be usable, ill grab one
<neggles>
near as I can tell the difference between the 7915E and 7915D is that D supports dual-2x2 or single-4x4 and the E is single-4x4 only
<neggles>
(but don't quote me on that)
<\x>
so for ipq4019 max radio that has been put is 4x4 80 / 2x2 160 1733 AC wave2
<\x>
but yeah so far ive seen most wifi 6 platforms have upgraded cpus in there too so im not hopeful to support anything faster than that
<neggles>
well if you're running the 7915D in DBDC mode, it's only "AX2000"
<neggles>
and they claim "Configurable 4×4/3×3 or 2x2n+2x2ax DBDC"
<neggles>
seems like the two-connector version just merges the two chains so you only need two antennas
<neggles>
oh, i tell a lie, one is MT7915DAN (two connector, DBDC only) and the other is MT7915AN (supposedly configurable)

\x: should be able to, assuming the manufacturer can be trusted
<\x>
I now understood how nice it is to have mini pcie slots on routers man, Ive felt like ive been missing out on all this tinkering fun
<neggles>
but you know how *every* cheap 802.11ac access point uses an MT7621 + one of a few combinations of MT7615 / MT7603 / MT7612 / etc?
<\x>
yeah i did have mt7621a before, wr1200js and newifi d2
<neggles>
I have a sneaking suspicion that the MT7622+MT7915 combo is going to take that position in the AX generation
<\x>
if mediatek continues wwhat they did, they likely will
<PaulFertser>
neggles: I thought "selectable" there means you can choose between two versions when ordering.
<\x>
cheap devices, well supported, nasty cheaply done pcbs though
<\x>
atleast for newifi d2 and r3g, having usb3 is suffering
<\x>
2.4 is real bad on them
<neggles>
the next "I don't know why I expected anything else to be inside this router" chip :P
pmelange has left #openwrt-devel [#openwrt-devel]
<\x>
atleast here in asia, everyone has them, mt7621 + 7530 + 7612 + 7603 combo
<neggles>
yup. give it a few years and it'll be MT7622+9715
<\x>
theyre really cheap, 15~20$ and you have a nice openwrt-able device
<neggles>
PaulFertser: hmm, you may be right, but there's no dropdown box like you might expect
<neggles>
i should just buy one of each and find out...
<\x>
ipq4019 is kinda gaining traction but only two devices are cheap
<\x>
cm520 and r619ac
<proxide>
Hey, has anyone here tried building TIP Openwifi firmware? Bought one to AP to test, it uses openwrt21.02 as a base but puts back kernel 4.4.60 for some targets. I tried adding wireguard to it, kmod-wireguard and wireguard-tools but it fails on that package
<\x>
im not really looking to buy it, but its interesting to cover both spectrum with a single mpcie slot
<\x>
its kinda nice
<neggles>
that one's a whole 1T1R dual band (not simultaneous) router and USB-ethernet on an oversized miniPCIe
<neggles>
so it shows up to whatever you put it in as a USB NIC

<\x>
neggles: are you testing on x86
Guest6293 has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
<neggles>
\x: assuming i buy one i'd probably shove it in a few different things, mostly x86 but i think I have an ipq4019 with a miniPCIe
<neggles>
oh I could hook it up to a pi CM4
<\x>
>I have an ipq4019 with a miniPCIe
<\x>
which device it is? or is it a dev board?
<neggles>
mikrotik wAP R ac
<neggles>
ipq4018 it turns out
<neggles>
oh the miniPCIe slot is USB-only
<\x>
so no pcie
<\x>
its usb only
<neggles>
welp
<neggles>
i have enough silly half-finished projects and dev boards already tbh :P
<\x>
yeah just test on x86 and cm4 i guess
<\x>
hell on my ipq4019 i accidentally killed usb soldering those mini pcie, I was cleanign those pads with a wick but i accidentaly knocked off a component and i cand find where it went
<\x>
now i dont see that bluetooth usb on ax200 when i plug it :)
<neggles>
you probably knocked off a 68 ohm termination resistor
<\x>
i just wont repeat the same mistake on my other two units if I ever get into soldering refclock on them
<\x>
theyre 0402 and i dont really have a steady hand forr it
<robimarko>
But the trick is that its not continuos
<robimarko>
So you cant just extend it as 0xF9000000 is part of other IP
<PaulFertser>
robimarko: looks like it's hardcoded to CP11X_PCIEx_MEM_SIZE which is 0xf00000, heh.
danitool has joined #openwrt-devel
<robimarko>
Yeah
<robimarko>
And they are wasting a 1M of space as ATF claims that it should be 0x1000000 instead
<robimarko>
And you cant extend it to 0x1000000
<robimarko>
It conflicts with RAM
<robimarko>
armada8k-pcie f2640000.pcie: resource collision: [mem 0x01000000-0x01ffffff] conflicts with System RAM [mem 0x00000000-0x03ffffff]
<PaulFertser>
That's an interesting message, looks like it would conflict either way :)
<robimarko>
Yeah
<PaulFertser>
"* As the CP11X_PCIEx_MEM_SIZE macro is also subject to change with newer SoCs, we put it in the SoC files as well." sounds like it's indeed a hardware limitation, hm
<robimarko>
Yeah, looks like so
<robimarko>
Its just weird that Armada 3k has 128M of MEM space while 7040 only 15M per controller
<PaulFertser>
Yes, sounds like a silly limitation :/
