-===== 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+
