mtk-wifi-fw (working name)

Tooling, documentation, and update tracking for MediaTek Connac2 WiFi firmware blobs (mt7915/7916/7981/7986_{wm,wa,rom_patch}.bin as shipped in linux-firmware) — the WiFi firmware running on Filogic 820/830 routers (GL.iNet, Banana Pi, Xiaomi, Netgear, TP-Link, ...).

Status: pre-release. Working now: container extractor (tools/mtk_fw_extract.py). Planned: ELF export for Ghidra/objdump, cross-version diff reports, CI that tracks upstream blob updates, format + boot-architecture documentation.

No proprietary firmware bytes are committed to this repository. Tools operate on blobs from your own linux-firmware copy (see make extract).

Quickstart:

make extract          # carve every MediaTek Connac2 blob on this host
python3 tools/mtk_fw_extract.py /lib/firmware/mediatek/mt7981_wm.bin -o extracted

Project plan and working notes: PLAN.md (development log, quality gates, decision function). Documentation as it lands: docs/.
