I'm looking for documentation describing the Qualcomm Atheros MME protocol used by the AV500 (EU V2.0) devices.

I know fairly well how the Homeplug AV protocol works, so it's the Vendor MME specific part I need further info on.

I'm trying to code my own small console program to get some basic network stats from my TP-LINK devices (using AutoIt and WinCpap), but it's ridicolous hard without having any kind of documentation on the Vendor MME protocols.I've had a look at the QCA Open PLC Utils project ( https://github.com/qca/open-plc-utils), but there are no binaries, and no documentation on how the utilized protocol is designed.

The source files found there keep referring to technical manuals and books (Qualcomm Atheros Powerline Firmware Technical Reference Manual / Qualcomm Atheros HomePlug AV Firmware Technical Reference Manual), but they are nowhere to be found online. So far I've studied the source files there, with the help from Wireshark, trying to figure out some stuff... but it's becoming apparent that it takes too much effort for what its worth. Especially with my limited knowledge of C++. So I'm in the process of giving up, and hoping that someone has windows binaries for the Open PLC Utils project so I don't have to agonize over this even more, or (even better) can provide links to some documentation describing the MME.


Thanks in advance. Any help would be much appreciated.
