at worst you add some cmake config options
<voltagex>
not sure, and I can't get builds of single packages working to test.
<voltagex>
shouldn't that like mean that building with nls works?
<Grommish>
./staging_dir/hostpkg/bin is in the build path, correct?

Interesting... the build system uses $(TMP_DIR)/$(TMPDIR) as $(TOP_DIR)/tmp.. Why is it writing to tmp to disk? Is there any reason I shoudln't just symlink ./tmp to /tmp?
<Grommish>
I am cringing at all the cycles this ssd has gone thru with tmp being io'd like that
<Grommish>
at least it's using the system ram now.. wonder if it's faster in the build though

But I can't get the TX rate above 400 Mbps. Just the RX is 866Mbps.
<ReDaLeRt>
I'm close to the router and the 5GHz band channel selected is empty (apart from my one router)
<ReDaLeRt>
On the status page, the client get its TX is limited to 40 MHz, but the RX gets 80 MHz.
<PaulFertser>
ReDaLeRt: the rate control algorithms are monitoring the results all the time and choose the best possible option. I suggest you to check the link with "iw dev wlan0 station dump" at the moment when the link is fully loaded (that is, when you're running the speed test in the direction you want).
<PaulFertser>
ReDaLeRt: that would show you what specific MCS and other link parameters are used.

well, everytime the router reboots, I get a mad TX rate of 24mbps:
<rsalvaterra>
Ok. The first thing I'd try would be to use the -htt variant.
<ReDaLeRt95>
ath10k-firmware-qca99x0-ct-full-htt
<ReDaLeRt95>
or
<ReDaLeRt95>
ath10k-firmware-qca99x0-ct-htt
<ReDaLeRt95>
?
<rsalvaterra>
ath10k-firmware-qca99x0-ct-htt
<ReDaLeRt95>
Do i need to remove the ct only version after installing the ct-htt?
<rsalvaterra>
ReDaLeRt95: I'd advise you to build an image with the image builder. I personally haven't used opkg in years, so I don't remember the restrictions.
<ReDaLeRt95>
do you mean compiling the openwrt source code and using the menuconfig to replace those packadges?
<PaulFertser>
Probably they conflict already so opkg will remove the other version automatically.
<rsalvaterra>
ReDaLeRt: And you're Portuguese too, I see. ;)
<ReDaLeRt>
Sim. :P
<rsalvaterra>
Keep it English here, though. :)
<ReDaLeRt>
the pain is that taking almost an hour, even with parallel compiling.
<rsalvaterra>
ReDaLeRt: Don't complain. A full build from scratch takes about 4 hours on my system (but I'm crazy enough to use computers until they break, so I'm using a system from 2006).
<PaulFertser>
Firmware can be installed even manually, that's all just files in /lib/firmware
<PaulFertser>
rsalvaterra: don't you fix them after they break and continue using? ;)
<rsalvaterra>
PaulFertser: Bah… :P
<PaulFertser>
rsalvaterra: my laptop has literally welded plastic and long screws holding it together
<rsalvaterra>
PaulFertser: I'm not punishing laptops with OpenWrt builds… That's a workstation job. ;)
<DonkeyHotei>
i build on my laptop with 8 gigs ram
<PaulFertser>
3d printing filament plus SMD soldering hot air gun can do wonders (after few hours of training to weld that way)
<rsalvaterra>
PaulFertser: I don't have the equipment for that… yet…
<rsalvaterra>
DonkeyHotei: my build machine has 4 GiB of RAM, of which 3.2 are actually available. :)
<PaulFertser>
rsalvaterra: I have some cheap luckey soldering/rework station for years, it's OK. Got ts100 soldering iron recently and that's much better though.
<dangole>
ReDaLeRt: just use the ImageBuilder, that should take a few second and doesn't involve any compiling
<ReDaLeRt>
My PC is not that newer, is from 2011, but with an intel 2500k overlocked to 4.3 GHz, and 16 Gb of RAM.
<dangole>
ReDaLeRt: i think you are building from source, as you have mentioned menuconfig before. ImageBuilder doesn't have menuconfig
<ReDaLeRt>
yup, compiling it from the github source code.
<dangole>
ReDaLeRt: my host similar, i5 M560 made in 2011, 8GB of RAM
<rsalvaterra>
PaulFertser: I'll get there, eventually… but what I need first is a flash reader/programmer and a SOP8 clip. I still hope I can teach my TL-SG2008 v1 a few new tricks (and replace that awful VxWorks with OpenWrt)…
<dangole>
ReDaLeRt: just download ImageBuilder for your target and that can assemble an image (ie. kernel+squashfs) within seconds with exactly the packages you like
<rsalvaterra>
ReDaLeRt: If you're compiling from the source, you just have to select the desired firmware variant in the Firmware menu.
<PaulFertser>
rsalvaterra: I use my TUMPA (full) for flash programming, it's much better in all regards (and can do much more too) than all those ch341 boards.
<ReDaLeRt>
rsalvaterra, I did just that.
<dangole>
ReDaLeRt, rsalvaterra: but compiling from source takes a long time and much more error-prone than using ImageBuilder. As you have suggested before as well, ImageBuilder should be the way to go in such case.
<rsalvaterra>
PaulFertser: I've seen some cheap TL866 II Plus programmers on AliExpress… any opinions?

<PaulFertser>
rsalvaterra: not support by flashrom afaik?
<PaulFertser>
rsalvaterra: not supported -> crap.
<rsalvaterra>
PaulFertser: True. I'd need (ARGHHH!) Windows.
<PaulFertser>
rsalvaterra: ft2232h-based devices just work
<dangole>
rsalvaterra: what he wants is to swap on package from default build against something else. no changes to any sources made. hence just waste of time and kWh to compile from source.
Nick_Lowe has joined #openwrt-devel
<rsalvaterra>
dangole: Yeah, the image builder is the way to go, definitely.
<PaulFertser>
dangole: and the fastest way would be to just opkg install it
<ReDaLeRt>
I'm not used to use the imagebuilder. I felt quite lost following its usage instructions... -.-'
<PaulFertser>
Or even manually copy to /lib/firmware
<ReDaLeRt95>
ath10k-firmware-qca99x0-ct-htt wants to install file /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA99X0/hw2.0/board-2.bin But that file is already provided by package * ath10k-firmware-qca99x0-ct * check_data_file_clashes: Package ath10k-firmware-qca99x0-ct-htt wants to install file /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA99X0/hw2.0/board.bin But that file is already
<PaulFertser>
ReDaLeRt95: opkg remove the other first
<ReDaLeRt>
removed it and rebooted the router. Let's see.
<PaulFertser>
ReDaLeRt95: after installing the -htt one I hope? :)
<rsalvaterra>
dangole: Something completely different, have you tried any mklibs builds lately (after your update)? I tried one a couple of days ago and haven't noticed any size difference whatsoever.
<ReDaLeRt>
(rebooted with the newer installed)
<rsalvaterra>
(I remember mklibs made quite a difference in 19.07.)
<ReDaLeRt>
well, I get the same result.
<dangole>
rsalvaterra: haven't tried mklibs in a long while. is there newer upstream available by now with upstream Python 3 support?
<ReDaLeRt>
:(

In other words, the client does the right thing and chooses maximum, but the AP for whatever reason is stuck with something really weird and slow?

Correct.

hello, this might sound like a stupid question, but does it ever make sense to have more than one watchdog timer enabled on an embedded Linux system?

i.e. if I'm using an external watchdog IC, does it still make sense to use the one on the SoC?

xdarklight: not really, this is probably signaled by the PHY

me too

it could be that the swconfig driver did not handle the phy event

I'll see if I can find my O2 6431 somewhere which uses 4x internal GPHY with FE firmware to see if I can somehow reproduce it
