Hi, |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I was a little bit confused from your earlier mentioned |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCABLEFAGD/HW3.0 |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
I wonder where this firmware come from. I cannot find it, neither with |
| 43 |
the identifier ‘QCABLEFAGD’ nor an upper cased ‘HW3.0’ directory in |
| 44 |
[1][2][3][4]. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Your log tells an other story now. As far as I can tell: |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
“Direct firmware load for […] failed with error -2” |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
comes from _request_firmware and fw_get_filesystem_firmware functions in |
| 51 |
file [5]. The symbolic error name ENOENT, see `man 3 errno`, means |
| 52 |
something like ‘No such element’ or ‘No such file or directory’. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Even CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR defaults to ‘/lib/firmware’, there should |
| 55 |
be whether an entry ‘# CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR is not set’ or |
| 56 |
something like ‘CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware"’ in your |
| 57 |
config. Its unclear to me why it is not there. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
If you want to build into the kernel again, check |
| 60 |
‘/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/firmware-6.bin’ exists and set: |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y |
| 63 |
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/firmware-6.bin" |
| 64 |
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware" |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
Hope that helps. |
