Script content and behavior

sudo mv /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board.bin /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board.bin.bak

sudo mv /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board-2.bin /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board-2.bin.bak

sudo cp ./QCA6174/hw3.0/eeprom_ar6320_3p0_TX8_clpc.bin /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board.bin

The QCA6174.sh script renames original board.bin file and overwrites with the right version. Moreover it deletes, eventually, the board-2.bin file.

How to use

• Clone the repository
• Enter in the directory
• chmod +x QCA6174.sh
• ./QCA6174.sh

PS: On Manjaro Linux you need to re-launch this script after every update of linux-firmware package.
