| Many chips use codenames or chip family names to identify them easier. Multiple variants of a chip can have the same name. This section will collect the names of important chips used in AVM products to describe their common features, their variants and possible frontends, and a reference of models using the respective chips. |

QCA-Codenames[edit]
In modern supportdata you can find out the codename of the wlan chipsets by:
grep 'chip_type =' support*.txt
This comes from wlan_product.cfg and is the parameter passed to aae.ko for Atheros / Qualcomm chipsets.
Latest (8.x) supportdata does not contain this information any more, but there is an alternative for Qualcomm based chips.
supportdata contains a listing of /var/tmp which contains calibration data for the respective wlan chip(s). 6860 fw 8.02:
grep caldata support*.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 131072 Jan 1 1970 maple_caldata.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 131072 Jan 1 1970 spruce_caldata_1.bin
You see the 6860 is based on a Maple WiSoC and an additional Spruce WLAN SoC.
