Mango-DVK OpenWrt Devkit Features 2.5GbE, WiFi 6 SoM powered by Qualcomm IPQ6000/IP6010 SoC

We’ve been covering some 802.11ax WiFI 6 embedded networking boards from Wallys Communications and Compex in the last few months, but 8devices has now entered the fray with Qualcomm IPQ6000/IPQ6010 powered Mango WiFi 6 system-in-module available in commercial or industrial temperature range, as well as as a development kit based on the module.

Mango SoM supports dual-band 2×2 MiMo 802.11ax and multi-Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, features up to 2GB RAM, 256MB NAND flash, and runs OpenWrt Linux with target applications including routers, gateways, and access points.

• Temperature Range
  • Mango – Commercial: 0-65°C
  • Mango-I – Industrial: -40-85°C

There’s actually no information about software on the company website nor the wiki, but 8devices told CNX Software the module supported OpenWrt Linux. As a side note, Qualcomm Atheros IPQ6000 happens to be the processor used in Xiaomi Mi Router AX1800, and there’s no mainline OpenWrt firmware for the router, so you’d likely have to rely on 8devices BSP at first.
