Description

Dear developers,
As you know, MTK asks his customers to use ated to calibrate the RF block of MT76 devices and store the calibration result in the factory region of flash device.

My question is:
1, does the kmod-mt76 driver support ated, so we can use it for factory calibration?
2, does the kmod-mt76 driver access the factory region of flash to get MTK's information if the device has been calibrated?
3, I notice mt76_eeprom_init can read EEPROM from mt76 devices. does the 'EEPROM' here refer to 'factory region of flash' or EEPROM attached with MT76?

Do you have documents of the kmod-mt76 driver? Thanks a lot!

Frank

Research direction

Start by tracing mt76_eeprom_init and the kmod-mt76 handling of EEPROM and factory flash data. Check how ated and MTK calibration information are referenced, then document whether calibration is supported, where data is read from, and what the EEPROM term means.
