thanks @luz and @crispyoz for your input.

I fully agree with you, corners have been cut and this issue sets the record straight

you've helped me a lot by pointing out the possibility to adopt the mt76 driver as a replacement for the warp core, i will give that a try.

And it's not like this is completely voodoo wizardry to me, in this case it has been really cutting corners because of lack of time...
Very bad reason i know, but at least i'm honest about it

I'm going for that "simply super relaxing" feeling that @luz describes but that simply asks for some investments too...

So... Putting on the floaties

Thanks guys for the pointers...

cheers tony

this is absolutely great news Lazar, thanks!

i will really jump on this right away, happy that i can drop the feeble attempts i made myself

please give me some time to get this working in our product, and i'll be happy to start nagging you guys with feedback, i'm sure

cheers, tony

@luz and @crispyoz

thanks you guys, that was the best advice i ever followed
i just needed to be dragged over that line...

it has been a lot of trial and error, and i haven't answered all questions yet, but at this point the build environment spits out a complete firmware, including our own app with all custom files and dependencies...

i end up with a mainline openwrt with mt76 that gives me a console in 12 seconds, and is completely up and connected at the sta-end in 55...
i2c, gpio, alsa, everything in working order.

hopefully this also solves the problem i started this topic about... but that i have to test yet... i call this a big win anyway even without the problem fixed...

i did just realize that i'm building SNAPHOT at the moment, but hopefully i'll find an easy way to step back to current stable without hours of tinkering on menuconfig again

greetz, tony

Hey Lazar,

This is exactly what i was hoping for, thanks for that!
I guess this is just cloning and injecting the overlay into a "fresh" omega right?

Are there any concerns about using the same firmware version on both source and target?

I can imagine that you wouldn't want to clone that overlay (maybe containing older version packages) to a firmware thats newer than those packages? Or the other way around... Any thoughts on that?

I will keep on the safe side for now and will be checking for matching firmware versions using this method...

Cheers, Tony
