I tried flashing with sysupgrade image but the device no longer boots now, so I left out my changes to tplink-safeloader
<stintel>
s/sysupgrade/factory/
<stintel>
so if you don
<stintel>
grrr
<stintel>
so if you don't have TTL header you can't do anything yet
<hanetzer>
not factory.bin?
<stintel>
as I said, I tried flashing a factory image and now the device no longer boots
<stintel>
probably made a mistake in the tplink-safeloader layout
<stintel>
which is also completely new to me
<hanetzer>
need a backup copy of the flash?
<stintel>
no
<hanetzer>
or you good?
<stintel>
11|00:07:44 < stintel> no, having working ethernet so I can dump the entire NOR flash and keep a backup has to be done first before trying to flash
<hanetzer>
its so nice when they use soic8 chips. much easier to clip than soic16
<stintel>
I have horrible experience with soic clips
<hanetzer>
ah. well, I don't :)
<stintel>
they worked 2 in 100 times
<hanetzer>
I'm just glad they're not wson's :)
<stintel>
3M clips are crap, random amazon clips are bad, don't know what else to try
<hanetzer>
apparently pomona are the 'gold standard'. I've always had luck with the ones that come with those ch341a usb dodads.
<stintel>
due to that I never finished my work on TP-Link OC200
<stintel>
ok, I ordered pomona clips

I *do* own pomona's for soic 8 and 16, but honestly using the jumper cables is annoying.
<hanetzer>
I suppose I could get some and permanently solder them to it
<stintel>
if these give me the same issues I'm done with clips though
<hanetzer>
fair enough. as I said, I've never had issue with them (except issues that would arise with or without them, that is, voltage level issues and such.

so atleast mediatek upgraded pcie host on mt7622b I see, they are 2.0 there too, meanwhile theyre all 1.1 on mt7621, not like any radio put on them is maxing out 2 Gb/s though
<\x>
pcie 1.1 and 2.0 uses 8/10 encoding so, link speed * 8/10 is the actual usable speed, so 2.5 GT/s = 2Gb/s, 5.0 GT/s = 4Gb/s
<stintel>
yeah I'm not finding how to make this thing work with both fith and the tplink header required for mtdsplit_tplink :/
<stintel>
I have not flashed from stock to openwrt yet with this last iteration
<stintel>
and I have to go now
<hanetzer>
nice. I'll give it a test :)

<hurricos>
stintel: re chips: Buy clips directly from Pomona. They are not cheap, but they're very tough
<hurricos>
oh, wait. I should have finished reading. The conversation already went there. I have a SOIC24 clip that I use for my SOIC16s as well on Ubiq devices
<hanetzer>
stintel: flashing factory.bin from stock worked for me. not sure if it required the clicliend stopcs command like that other eap device, but it worked with it.
<stintel>
yes, that's expected, same as the eap235
<stintel>
but that's really good news
<stintel>
the APs are going to be limited in the amount of clients they can support due to the 128MB RAM
<stintel>
but nonetheless, very happy they're working
<stintel>
nbd: thanks again for the info about the 7915/7916. as for the 7663, did you find anything since ~8 days ago that might help to solve the stalls ?
<stintel>
I'm tempted to replace both EAP235 with EAP615 but it'd be better if we can have stable old generations too

stintel: hey, what's the hash on your radio partition, out of curiosity?
<dwfreed>
does the phy just ignore the mac address coming from the cpu ?
Grommish has joined #openwrt-devel
<hanetzer>
yee, I saw that, wasn't sure what to make of it tbh.
<stintel>
no, it doesn't. a random mac is assigned during boot. the phy does not ignore that
<dwfreed>
that seems... ridiculous
<dwfreed>
not to mention not compliant
<stintel>
welcome in embedded world ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
<dwfreed>
any label on the device with a mac address?
<stintel>
yes, openwrt image from my staging tree uses that
<dwfreed>
but you just mentioned your devices have conflicting macs :P
<stintel>
read the code
<stintel>
and what I said earlier
<dwfreed>
the only interpretation I'm coming up with at the moment is that you intend for your dts to use the mac address in nvmem (which should match the mac address on the label on the device), but you got the offset wrong?
<dwfreed>
but my brain is also barely functional for some reason, so I could be misunderstanding
