I've since tried with more firmwares only to find that they all crash. Even -ct.
The basic problem is that in the case of the firmware crashing, -ct restarts the firmware whereas ath10k dies with it. I've concluded that it's my phone running Android Oreo that causes all the firmware crashing. > > John > > >> Signed-off-by: Rosen Penev <ros...@gmail.com> >> --- >> target/linux/mvebu/image/cortex-a9.mk | 2 +- >> 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) >> >> diff --git a/target/linux/mvebu/image/cortex-a9.mk >> b/target/linux/mvebu/image/cortex-a9.mk >> index d9defe880d..a6529220ea 100644 >> --- a/target/linux/mvebu/image/cortex-a9.mk >> +++ b/target/linux/mvebu/image/cortex-a9.mk >> @@ -152,7 +152,7 @@ define Device/turris-omnia >> DEVICE_TITLE := Turris Omnia >> DEVICE_PACKAGES := \ >> mkf2fs e2fsprogs kmod-fs-vfat kmod-nls-cp437 kmod-nls-iso8859-1 \ >> - wpad-mini kmod-ath9k kmod-ath10k ath10k-firmware-qca988x >> + wpad-mini kmod-ath9k kmod-ath10k-ct ath10k-firmware-qca988x-ct >> IMAGES := $$(IMAGE_PREFIX)-sysupgrade.img.gz >> omnia-medkit-$$(IMAGE_PREFIX)-initramfs.tar.gz >> IMAGE/$$(IMAGE_PREFIX)-sysupgrade.img.gz := boot-img | sdcard-img | >> gzip | append-metadata >> IMAGE/omnia-medkit-$$(IMAGE_PREFIX)-initramfs.tar.gz := >> omnia-medkit-initramfs | gzip > > _______________________________________________ Lede-dev mailing list Lede-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-dev
