Missing KR/SG regdom sections in BCF for MM8108-MF15457

Hi, I’m bringing up a product using the MM8108-MF15457 module (USB, via morse_usb driver). I need to support South Korea (KR) and Singapore (SG) regulatory domains in addition to US, but the BCF files I have don’t include those countries. Setup: - Module: MM8108-MF15457 - Driver: morse_driver, branch v1.17 (hostap v1.17.9) - Firmware: mm8108b2-rl.bin - BCF: bcf_boardtype_0807.bin (board type read from OTP) How I checked country support: Looking at firmware.c in morse_driver, the BCF appears to be an ELF-like container where each supported country has its own section named “.regdom_XX”. So I ran the following on each BCF in the morse-firmware repo to list which countries are embedded:

  readelf -S bcf_boardtype_0807.bin | grep -oP '\.regdom_[A-Z]{2}'

Results:

  • morsemicro/bcf_boardtype_0807.bin → AU, CA, EU, GB, JP, US
  • morsemicro/bcf_mf15457.bin → AU, CA, EU, GB, JP, US
  • quectel/bcf_fgh100mhaamd.bin → AU, EU, IN, JP, KR, NZ, SG, US

Neither KR nor SG is present in either MF15457-related BCF. The
Quectel BCF does include KR and SG, but that’s for a different
module/board with presumably different antenna/power calibration, so
I don’t think it’s safe to reuse as-is on MF15457 hardware.

This also matches the actual runtime error I get when setting
country=KR:

Country code KR not found in BCF
 morse_firmware_prepare failed: -1

Questions:

  1. Is there an MF15457-specific BCF (or a newer boardtype_0807 BCF)
    that includes KR and/or SG regdom sections?
  2. If not, is this something Morse Micro can generate, or does it need
    to come from the module manufacturer directly?
  3. Is there a recommended process/timeline for getting additional
    country support added to an existing BCF board type?

Happy to provide more logs/details if useful. Thanks!

Hi @jcsong

Apologies for the late reply here.

This is correct, using this BCF with an MF15457 module will not work.

Not yet. We are always looking to expand regulatory support but unlike other Wi-Fi bands the sub 1 GHz ISM bands are quite fragmented globally. I’ll have someone involved in the regulatory effort provide a response shortly.
