Hello guys, I have a QCA9986 PCIe wireless module, and I plug it to a PPC-64 device where running Linux Kernel 4.14.83 with the wireless driver backports-4.20.17-1. The below is PCI info for this PCI device, XXX@YYY:/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9984/hw1.0# lspci -k 00:00.0 Class 0604: 1957:0840 pcieport 01:00.0 Class 0280: 168c:0046 ath10k_pci 00:00.0 Class 0604: 1957:0840 pcieport I am using this firmware binary file(10.4-3.10-00047) and its associated board binary file. https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/blob/master/QCA9984/hw1.0/3.10/firmware-5.bin_10.4-3.10-00047 AND https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/blob/master/QCA9984/hw1.0/board-2.bin But it will always report "Firmware Crashed" when I insert ath10k_pci.ko. I am not sure what caused this issue. Can someone help me take a look? The error log while I am doing insmod ath10k_pci.ko is shown as below, [ 2336.982978] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: pci probe 168c:0046 168c:cafe [ 2336.983260] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: boot pci_mem 0x8000080080980000 [ 2336.983560] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: pci irq msi oper_irq_mode 2 irq_mode 0 reset_mode 0 [ 2336.983597] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: boot qca99x0 chip reset [ 2336.983601] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: boot cold reset [ 2337.041151] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: boot cold reset complete [ 2337.041158] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: boot waiting target to initialise [ 2337.041164] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: boot target indicator 2 [ 2337.041171] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: boot target initialised [ 2337.041175] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: boot qca99x0 chip reset complete (cold) [ 2337.041247] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: boot hif power up [ 2337.041258] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: boot qca99x0 chip reset [ 2337.041261] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: boot cold reset [ 2337.097164] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: boot cold reset complete [ 2337.097172] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: boot waiting target to initialise [ 2337.097179] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: boot target indicator 2 [ 2337.097187] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: boot target initialised [ 2337.097190] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: boot qca99x0 chip reset complete (cold) [ 2337.097212] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: boot init ce src ring id 0 entries 16 base_addr c000000051919000 [ 2337.097229] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: boot ce dest ring id 1 entries 512 base_addr c000000051760000 [ 2337.097244] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: boot ce dest ring id 2 entries 128 base_addr c00000006795a000 [ 2337.097261] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: boot init ce src ring id 3 entries 32 base_addr c000000051e64000 [ 2337.097318] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: boot init ce src ring id 4 entries 8192 base_addr c000000075f00000 [ 2337.097335] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: boot ce dest ring id 5 entries 512 base_addr c000000077246000 [ 2337.097352] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: boot init ce src ring id 7 entries 2 base_addr c000000075e80000 [ 2337.097366] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: boot ce dest ring id 7 entries 2 base_addr c000000051a4c000 [ 2337.097382] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: boot ce dest ring id 8 entries 128 base_addr c000000075e85000 [ 2337.098026] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: bmi get target info [ 2337.098171] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: Hardware name qca9984/qca9994 hw1.0 version 0x1000000 [ 2337.098175] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: trying fw api 6 [ 2337.098216] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: Direct firmware load for ath10k/QCA9984/hw1.0/firmware-6.bin failed with error -2 [ 2337.098224] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: boot fw request 'ath10k/QCA9984/hw1.0/firmware-6.bin': -2 [ 2337.098227] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: trying fw api 5 [ 2337.100926] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: boot fw request 'ath10k/QCA9984/hw1.0/firmware-5.bin': 0 [ 2337.100936] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: found fw version 10.4-3.10-00047 [ 2337.100941] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: found fw timestamp 1557172134 [ 2337.100946] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: found otp image ie (9235 B) [ 2337.100949] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: found fw image ie (396915 B) [ 2337.100953] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: found firmware features ie (3 B) [ 2337.100956] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: Enabling feature bit: 3 [ 2337.100960] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: Enabling feature bit: 12 [ 2337.100963] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: Enabling feature bit: 13 [ 2337.100967] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: Enabling feature bit: 14 [ 2337.100970] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: Enabling feature bit: 16 [ 2337.100973] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: Enabling feature bit: 17 [ 2337.100978] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: features [ 2337.100984] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: 00000000: 00 00 00 00 00 03 70 08 ......p.
