Use the complete board-specific system image for Pulse B6-02, including its bootloader, device tree, Ethernet switch/PHY configuration and radio calibration. Preserve the existing flash partition map and calibration partitions before an upgrade. Match the recovery procedure to the board revision and serial header.
| Integration item | Model-specific preparation |
|---|---|
| Platform | IPQ6010; quad-core Cortex-A53 at 1.8 GHz; 1 GB DDR3L |
| Network verification | SFP + 1 x 2.5GbE + 4 x 1GbE |
| Image identity | Record release/build, board revision, image checksum and the partition layout. |
| OpenWrt / QSDK workflow | Select a board-targeted build approved for the delivered assembly; radio-driver support is only one part of the complete image. |
| First boot | Capture the UART boot log; verify memory, flash, Ethernet link negotiation and each installed radio. |
Use the following commissioning procedure for Pulse B6-02. This is a test method, separate from the theoretical PHY specifications and datasheet RF references above.
| Step | Record and verify |
|---|---|
| Baseline | Model/revision, firmware build, host CPU, uplink speed, channel width, country profile, antennas and client spatial streams. |
| Link verification | Capture negotiated PHY, RSSI per chain and noise/retry statistics before sustained traffic. |
| Wired reference | Measure the wired path first; select a server link appropriate to 573 / 1201 Mb/s by band. |
| Traffic test | Run TCP in each direction, then concurrent clients; record duration, CPU load, temperatures and retransmissions. |
| Site acceptance | Repeat at the intended mounting positions; save results with the exact configuration for comparison. |
