The HTT-MGT variants transport management frames over the
normal HTT tx path, just like data frames. This saves
limitted WMI buffers which can become depleted if lots of
management frames become stuck in TX queues due to peer
that went away.
In addition, at least for the wave-1 firmware, htt-mgt is
required in order for 802.11r (fast roaming) authentication
to function properly.
The htt-mgt firmware requires the use of the ath10k-ct
driver. Normal non-htt-mgt ath10k-ct firmware should work
with stock drivers.

This updates to latest ath10k-ct firmware. Hopefully we are
at the end of the development cycle for this firmware release,
so these should be stable.
wave-1 changes since last release:
Release 20
* Allow flushing peer when deleting. Hopefully this will allow the
peer delete command to happen in a reasonable amount of time even
if the RF environment is busy (or peer has died).
To enable this, set the high flag in the mac-addr second word in the
ath10k driver near end of the ath10k_wmi_op_gen_peer_delete method:
cmd->peer_macaddr.word1 |= __cpu_to_le32(0x80000000);
* Attempt to fix crash seen in resmgr-ocs, appearantly due to list corruption.
Use a temporary list instead of trying to rely on for-each-safe.
* Add flag to tx-descriptor to allow driver to request no-ack on data
frames. This is bit 15 on the flag1 field (previously un-used).
* Add option to support specifying the tx-rate-code and retry count on
a per-packet basis. Only a single series is supported at this time.
Useful mainly for radiotap monitor-tx type testing at this point.
* Fix crash on startup when chip is at -40 deg C and calibration fails. Instead
of asserting, just keep retrying calibration, which appears to start working
after a few minutes (when the chip warms up).
* Allow reporting per-chain rssi for management frames. We pack the values into
empty space in the mgt-frame wmi header. This will only be enabled if the driver
requests it, since otherwise the driver is assumed to not understand the new API.
ath10k-ct drivers that support this feature will automatically enable it.
* A customer reports a case that appears to be the hardware not properly detecting
end of AMPDU, so frames were being mis-delivered to the wrong peer. Attempt to
work around this, and in doing so, clean up a bunch of void* abuse in the block-ack
reordering code (could not ever confirm there was a problem in this area).
* Re-work the rx-mem logic to be less complicated and to use less memory.
* Attempt to fix crash that appearanty happens because the driver can sometimes
delete a vdev in 'up' state.
* Attempt to fix hung scan state machine issues.
* Fix crash in tx path due to un-initialized memory.
wave-2 changes since last release:
Release 10
* Fix an assert related to tx scheduling. This hopefully fixes
what appears to be a regression that I added some time back.
* Enable CSI reporting for 9984, and maybe 9888/9886. Only in
non-trimmed builds.
* Other stability improvements, including regression fixes from
some tricky bugs introduced in earlier releases.
* Allow compiling for IPQ4019 chipset.
* Firmware will now send txbf frames to the host (driver) if the
TXBF (0xF00000001) set-special feature is enabled, or when the radio
is in monitor mode. But, if the frame is consumed by the txbf_cv
logic, then the pkt cannot be delivered to the host in this manner. Instead,
a WMI event will be sent and host can find the txbf_cv data in shared
memory. See ath10k_wmi_event_txbf_cv_mesg() in ath10k-ct driver.
* Support rx-all-mgt option. When enabled, the firmware will deliver all
management frames that it can to the host. No RX filters are changed
when this option is enabled.
* Fix at least some problems with sending tx-beamforming frames to SU-MIMO
peers. Looks like this was a regression in my code.
* Fix a crash in rate-ctrl due to nss mismatch. This was something I introduced
while trying to fix other bugs in rate-ctrl some time back.
* Attempt to fix a sw-peer-key object leak in IBSS mode. The peer key code
is very complex, and shares some pointers as union members. I think I fixed
at least some of the issues, but would not be surprised if more exist.
* Improve ath10k user guide to document CT firmware features:
https://www.candelatech.com/ath10k-ug.php
* Add ct-special option to configure the txbf sounding time. See ath10k-ug.php
* Fix and allow the driver to tell the firmware to send sounding frames. See ath10k-ug.php
In further testing, this seems to fail much of the time, and I am not sure why.
Disabling this in diet (trimmed) builds.
* Fix crashes related to deleting peers while they are in power-save mode. Reported
by LEDE user on r7800 with 9984 NIC.
* Make rate-ctrl txbf probe work better. If enabled, the rate-ctrl logic will periodically
send out probes at an NSS that can to txbf. Previously, txbf probes would not reliably happen
if both AP and peer had the same nss (ie, 2x2 talking to 2x2). To enable this feature, you
need to enable the fwtest-cmdid number 20.
* Report rx-timeout error counters. These were previously un-reported, though the
field existed in the wmi struct already.
* txbf: Ignore frames not destined for us. If NIC is in promisc mode, it
could acquire and process NDPA frames that were not destined for it. Check
the dest-MAC and ignore frames not for us (pass them up the stack for monitor
mode instead of save them in the peer's rate-ctrl logic.)
* Port ping-pong crash handling and othe related features to IPQ4019 target. It should
now act similar to 9984 in this regard.
* Fix a few asserts related to txbf and tx-seq logic.
* Add custom-stats support, for rx-reorder-stats. Similar to what I did for wave-1.
* Disable AMSDU for IBSS. This now matches what I did for peregrine. It seems to
work better this way, though I did not debug it in detail.
* Enable the set-special command to re-enable AMSDU for IBSS if user wants to experiment.
* Fix bug where dbglog did not disable IRQs, so if you made dbglog messages from the IRQ
handler, it could cause corruption that could crash the firmware and/or corrupt the log
message buffers.
* Don't assert if there are no buffer descriptors for RX of non-data frame.
* Retry any stuck block-ack sessions every 20 seconds instead of just disabling BA for
ever when we get too many failures.
* Fix SGI flag when reporting tx-rate info. The flag moved since wave-1 days, and
I did not notice that when I ported my changes forward to wave-2.
* Allow disabling special CCA handling for IBSS txqs. Earlier testing indicated this
might improve throughput in some testing on 9984 chips in IBSS mode, but subsequent
testing looks about the same without it. Since I do not really understand what this
setting exists for, leave it at upstream defaults. A new set-special API command (0x12)
can be used to enable this hack for testing. Setting 0x1 bit disables special CCA handling
for non-beacon IBSS txqs, setting 0x2 bit disables it for beacon queues as well.
* Add MCAST-BCAST feature flag. This tells driver we do not need a monitor interface
to do MESH.
* When calculating the rx-address filter (affects ACK & BLOCK-ACK, among other things),
to not add in monitor interfaces if other interfaces are up. There is no need for
a monitor device to ACK frames.

1x4 0.1" header with half-height/low profile pins.
The pinout is: VCC (little white arrow), RX, TX, GND.
Flashing needs a serial adaptor, as well as patched ubootwrite utility
(needs Little-Endian support). And a modified u-boot (enabled Ethernet).
Meraki's original u-boot source can be found in:
<https://github.com/riptidewave93/meraki-uboot/tree/mr33-20170427>
Add images to do an installation via bootloader:
0. open up the MR33 and connect the serial console.
1. start the 2nd stage bootloader transfer from client pc:
# ubootwrite.py --write=mr33-uboot.bin
(The ubootwrite tool will interrupt the boot-process and hence
it needs to listen for cues. If the connection is bad (due to
the low-profile pins), the tool can fail multiple times and in
weird ways. If you are not sure, just use a terminal program
and see what the device is doing there.
2. power on the MR33 (with ethernet + serial cables attached)
Warning: Make sure you do this in a private LAN that has
no connection to the internet.
- let it upload the u-boot this can take 250-300 seconds -
3. use a tftp client (in binary mode!) on your PC to upload the sysupgrade.bin
(the u-boot is listening on 192.168.1.1)
# tftp 192.168.1.1
binary
put openwrt-ipq40xx-meraki_mr33-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
4. wait for it to reboot
5. connect to your MR33 via ssh on 192.168.1.1
For more detailed instructions, please take a look at the:
"Flashing Instructions for the MR33" PDF. This can be found

PCB right next to the connector.
U-Boot Note: The ethernet driver isn't always reliable and can sometime
time out... Don't worry, just retry.
Access via the serial console is required. As well as a working
TFTP-server setup and the initramfs image. (If not provided, it
has to be built from the OpenWrt source. Make sure to enable
LZMA as the compression for the INITRAMFS!)
To install the image permanently, you have to do the following
steps in the listed order.
1. Open up the router.
There are four phillips screws hiding behind the four plastic
feets on the underside.
2. Connect the serial cable (See notes above)
3. Connect your router via one of the four LAN-ports (yellow)
to a PC which can set the IP-Address and ssh and scp from.
If possible set your PC's IPv4 Address to 192.168.1.70
(As this is the IP-Address the Router's bootloader expects
for the tftp server)
4. power up the router and enter the u-boot
choose option 1 to upload the initramfs image. And follow
through the ipv4 setup.
Wait for your router's status LED to stop blinking rapidly and
glow just blue. (The LAN LED should also be glowing blue).
3. Connect to the OpenWrt running in RAM
The default IPv4-Address of your router will be 192.168.1.1.
1. Copy over the openwrt-sysupgrade.bin image to your router's
temporary directory
# scp openwrt-sysupgrade.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp
2. ssh from your PC into your router as root.
# ssh root@192.168.1.1
The default OpenWrt-Image won't ask for a password. Simply hit the Enter-Key.
Once connected...: run the following commands on your temporary installation
3. delete the "jffs2" ubi partition to make room for your new root partition
# ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 --name=jffs2
4. install OpenWrt on the NAND Flash.
# sysupgrade -v /tmp/openwrt-sysupgrade.bin
- This will will automatically reboot the router -

This patch updates ath10k-firmware to use the
firmware-5.bin_10.4-3.5.3-00053 firmware for the QCA9984.
The update fixes "ath10k_pci 0001:01:00.0: Invalid VHT mcs 15 peer
stats" spamming the kernel ring buffer at very high frequencies, but
introduces the new "ath10k_pci 0001:01:00.0: Unknown eventid: 36925".
This new warning doesn't appear to cause problems in practice and is
only emitted relatively rarely, not causing dmesg to overflow within
minutes.

to work well (with the same fixes and caveats) on the Netgear r7800 as
