And that's with cpu capped to 1,4 instead of 1,7Smile
Openssl benchmark is also impressive, triple the times of official fw:)
Maybe there is a quickfire command that I can issue to turn USB on? Seems like USB hub is detected from dmesg

No, mine is scaling up to 1725Mhz, why do you think it is capped at 1,4?

It scales up to 1.4 max on mine for some reason on status page.

And cpuinfo shows 2 cores with different begonias: N 0 - 6bogomips and N1 - 12.5

Then it is not maxed out, did you run:

openssl speed aes-256-cbc

and then checkout the status page.

Uploading build with working usb right now. Wait a few minutes until it is done, I only have 1Mbit upload. LOL

Ah, indeed... My bad, I thought I made a pretty load for the cpu to max out, but catched only 1,4

Thank you very much Kong, today's news of you releasing the firmware really made my day, at last this unit turned out of pumpkin Smile

does tx rate reporting work on this ath10k fw? & after a few hours is the 5ghz interface still fine to associate with or does it become very slow & difficult to connect?

Seems it's working ok so far, no problems yet Smile
Btw, considering compiling options, I noticed that almost every firmware is compiled with Os optimization and from my experience using O3 gives about 10-15% performance boost (even with entware packages).
Isn't it the same case with firmware? Why no one compiles it with O3 flag? I guess there's enough room on flash for that. Maybe there is a reason?

And there's just a cosmetic thing - on status page it shows ipq8064

Edit: seems the problem with WiFi persists, after 9 hours of uptime couldn't reconnect to WiFi with devices that left the WiFi area for a while. Those that were connected all the time keep working fine

One thing that I'm aware of is that debugging highly optimized code is difficult. For example, if you sent a stack dump to the developer, it would be much easier use an analyzer and see what's going on if the code is not highly optimized. Usually developers don't go to the highest level of optimization, strip symbols out of object modules, etc., until the final, release builds.

Not sure that's it, but it could be *smile*.

Noticed that kernel gets tainted with code 32 just for your info. Happens only when WiFi is enabled.
Guess it's nothing to worry about?
Btw is there any workaround for 5ghz WiFi issue?

Next build come with updated backports, maybe it helps.
Will upload new builds after I ran a few tests.

from what i see its a issue with ath10k fw 10.2.4 & 10.4.1/10.4.3, maybe qualcomm finally fixed it with 10.4-3.2

Kong, can you get back to stock firmware on the R7800 from dd-wrt by just flashing the stock image from the dd-wrt web interface, then?

Or is tftp needed? Don't see this in the Readme.

Thanks so much!
