Hi,
I installed master branch openwrt onto Asus MAP-AC2200 AP. It has tri
band. Its based on IPQ4019 DK04 QCA reference platform. 2 radios
(2Ghz/5Ghz) on AHB bus and one 5GHZ on PCIe bus. Its generally working
fine except one problem in 5Ghz. On both the 5Ghz radios the RSSI is
pretty low on any channel I put it in. In one feet range I see -60dB
RSSI, where as the stock firmware that came with the AP gives an RSSI
of -36dB at one foot distance.The downstream transmit rates are MCS8/9
for most part. The 2Ghz is working fine. Its using the cal data from
the flash that came with the AP.
Can you please suggest anyway to debug this or improve the RSSI?
Thanks you!

Hello, what firmware are you using (ath10k-ct, or QCA?) If using -ct firmware,
please try QCA firmware and let me know if that fixes the problem.
Thanks,
Ben

I tried both. Both have the same problem. I tried various versions
of the both(-ct and QCA) firmware as well. All have the same problem.

Probably it is a board-file and/or calibration data issue then.
The debugfs 'ath10k/tpc_stats' file may show very low values?

I am not sure if the values are right. Here is one of the 5Ghz radio stats:

hi Ben,
I also looked at the TPC on the stock firmware on the AP. There is a
difference.
Here is the snippet from stock firmware:
TPC Config for channel 5765 mode 10
**************************************************
CTL = 0x10 Reg. Domain = 20
Antenna Gain = 0 Reg. Max Antenna Gain = 12
Power Limit = 63 Reg. Max Power = 60
Num tx chains = 2 Num Supported Rates = 109
**************************************************
**************** CDD POWER TABLE ****************
**************************************************
Where as in openwrt it is:
*************************************
TPC config for channel 5765 mode 10
*************************************
CTL = 0x10 Reg. Domain = 58
Antenna Gain = 0 Reg. Max Antenna Gain = 0
Power Limit = 60 Reg. Max Power = 30
Num tx chains = 2 Num supported rates = 109
********************************
So looks like reg ,domain is different even though both are US.
(Although I didnt set anything on stock firmware. The countrycode from
iwpriv get_countrycode says its 841.)
Also, the antenna gain seems different between stock and openwrt firmware..
How to change the reg. domain like in stock firmware in openwrt
although I set to US in the uci.
root@OpenWrt:/sys# uci show | grep country
uhttpd.defaults.country='ZZ'
wireless.radio0.country='US'
wireless.radio1.country='US'
wireless.radio2.country='US'
root@OpenWrt:/sys#
Thanks

I think you should write to the openwrt mailing list and/or its bug tracker
and see if they can help.

hi Ben:
Looks like ./sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy2/ath10k/cal_data is junk
for both the 5Ghz radios even though the
pre-cal-pci-0000:01:00.0.bin/pre-cal-ahb-a800000.wifi.bin is correct.
The 2Ghz cal_data seem to be correct and match the pre-cal-ahb-a000000.wifi.bin.
Openwrt seem to do the right thing in setting the countrycode.
I am clueless. Any pointers would help.
Thanks
