PCIe only modems?

I’ve flashed an AP with AA firmware on windows and QFirehose but I had to manually enter EDL mode and edit an xml file in the firehose directory.

USB sled used: Dual-Q 5G2PHY Quectel 5Gnr Ethernet PHY adapter design for RM520N RM50 – 4G discount

Board only:

See below…

It didn’t turn out like I wanted though. Pretty much bricked until I get the correct firmware.

Also for those of you up to a challenge you can buy a modified AP variant that’s been converted into an AA model. As far as I can tell it involved flashing the QuecOpen firmware (OCPU_Firmware) (Arixolink firmware for example) as it seems to be able to flash on both AA and AP. I’m not sure if any hardware modifications were done but that was what I was trying to figure out in the post I linked above.
Here you go:

Comes modded AP comes with the board/enclosure
