- | ===== Update firmware ===== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | First download the firmware image from the links above. In this example we use firmware-2.bin_10.1.467.2-1 from QCA988X 10.1 directory. Then just copy that file as firmware-2.bin to the ath10k firmware directory: | + | |
- | + | ||
- | <code>cp firmware-2.bin_10.1.467.2-1 /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA988X/hw2.0/firmware-2.bin</code> | + | |
- | Then reload ath10k (or restart the system) and you can [[en/users/Drivers/ath10k/debug#firmware_version|check if the new firmware is in use]]. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Note: In some distributions the firmware location can be different than /lib/firmware. | + | |
