Submitting board files

If you want to submit board files to the official board-2.bin file send a mail to ath10k@lists.infradead.org with this information:

• use subject with style of “ath10k-firmware: QCA1234 hw0.0: foo bar” (naturally replacing with real hardware name and proper title)

• only one hardware per mail (so for example if you have files for both QCA4019 and QCA9888 send two mails)

• description for what hardware this is

• origin of the board file (did you create it yourself or where you downloaded)

• ids to be used with the board file (ATH10K_BD_IE_BOARD_NAME in ath10k)

• md5sum of each new board file to add

• attach the actual board file (board.bin) with the exact name to be used in board-2.bin, for example bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=20,variant=OM-A62.bin

Note: You should NOT submit the full board-2.bin file, just the board file/image you want to add (ie. board.bin in ath10k terms).

If everything is ok Kalle will then add the file to the official board-2.bin. As it’s easy to make a mistake when adding a new board image, and every character makes a difference, please always check the commited board file carefully.
