Comment 351 for bug 1383184

Still an issue even four years later.

On Ubuntu 18.10 dmesg outputs:

"[ 4.242132] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: qca6174 hw3.2 target 0x05030000 chip_id 0x00340aff sub 168c:3370

[ 4.309354] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: board_file api 1 bmi_id N/A crc32 ed5f849a"

There is a board.bin available directly from the vendor http://www.killernetworking.com/support/K1535_Debian/board.bin

The only thing which is missing is getting this added to https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/ath10k/boardfiles . My problem is that I dont know how to read the board files and modify them because I do not know the encoding they use.

Any ideas how to get this solved?
