Notes

• WiFi power-up via GPIO 40 — wlandev profile rtl8188fu-hi3518ev300-t5810hct-m02
  already merged in firmware repo: add wifi support for t5810hct-m02 board firmware#1373

• Motors, IR cut, LEDs, reset button not yet mapped (GPIO unknown)

Status

video-yes, wifi-yes, motors-no

Thanks for this, and sorry it sat so long. It is in good shape — reviewed against current master.

Good news first: you no longer need a master.yml matrix entry. Since #120 the build matrix is read off the tree, so a device is registered simply by having devices/<dir>/.../<dir>_defconfig. Your device therefore registers itself, and this repo now builds pull requests — a push here will build hi3518ev300_ultimate_smitch-360ptz-t5810hct-m02 for the first time, narrowed to just that one device. (CLAUDE.md step 6 still describes the old flow; that's on us to fix.)

What checks out

• fw_setenv wlandev rtl8188fu-hi3518ev300-t5810hct-m02 — already upstream in firmware's general/overlay/etc/wireless/usb, complete with a # HI3518EV300 t5810hct-m02 comment. So the Wi-Fi half is landed.
• The exclude list correctly keeps libsns_f23.so, jxf23_i2c_1080p.ini and iq/f23.ini for a JXF23 board, and its name (hi3518ev300_ultimate.list) matches the soc+flavour convention.
• The UBI block matches what both hi3516ev300_ultimate_* devices do, so that's right for the family.

Three small things before merge

1. Drop BR2_PACKAGE_JSONFILTER=y. package: stop selecting jsonfilter, mirroring firmware #2304 #128 removed it from all 97 defconfigs after firmware/#2304, because it drags in libubox for nothing on a device that enables neither uqmi-openipc nor wifibroadcast-ng — it was worth 32KB and had three boards over their rootfs cap.
2. Please drop the README wording change on the "Create firmware with built-in credentials" heading — it's unrelated to the device and just makes the diff harder to read. The device-table row is welcome, keep that.
3. customizer.sh is missing its trailing newline.

Rebase on master with those and CI will tell us whether it builds.

Marking this changes-requested so it shows up as such in the queue. Nothing new — the same three items from my review above are still outstanding:

1. Drop BR2_PACKAGE_JSONFILTER=y from the defconfig (#128 removed it from all 97 defconfigs after firmware/#2304).
2. Drop the unrelated README wording change on the "Create firmware with built-in credentials" heading. The device-table row is welcome, keep that.
3. customizer.sh is missing its trailing newline.

The branch still merges cleanly, so no rebase is needed — push those three and CI will build the device.
