This is necessary due to resource limitations such as memory capacity and CPU capability, or performance and power optimization for different application scenarios. Currently, there are two firmwares, both files can be executed interchangeably. For example: - ath11k/WCN6855/hw2.0/amss.bin, ath11k/WCN6855/hw2.0/m3.bin ath11k/WCN6855/hw2.0/board-2.bin - ath11k/WCN6855/hw2.0/nfa765/amss.bin, ath11k/WCN6855/hw2.0/nfa765/m3.bin ath11k/WCN6855/hw2.0/board-2.bin The former is the default firmware, suitable for most WiFi 6 STA functions. The latter adds support for commercial-quality SAP and optimizes power consumption for IoT applications. And both use the same BDF/regdb data within the main board-2.bin.
