Sorry, I did not have experience on imx28 based project. In my android project, softap is implemented by wpa_supplicant software kit.

Hi Pt,

I need some time to figure how to enable hostapd in ltib environment. However, if you can use the latest kernel version and yocto build system, you can consider the existing package:

http://packages.yoctoproject.org/detail?pkgname=hostap-utils

BR,

Jack

Hi Pt,

You can obtain the hostapd.spec from the following URL:

https://github.com/fwmiller/Conserver-Freescale-Linux-U-boot/blob/master/dist/lfs-5.1/hostapd/hostapd.spec

Please put it to the appropriate path ( dist/lfs-5.1/hostapd ) in ltib. After this step, you would able to prep and scbuild the source.

./ltib -m prep -p hostapd.spec

./ltib -m scbuild -p hostapd.spec

If you need to add the package to the ltib configuration menu, you need to modify config/userspace/packages.lkc. If it is not necessary in your case, you can ignore it.

BR,

Jack

Thanks. But ./ltib -m scbuild -p hostapd.spec throws error. The details are included in the file attached.

Hi Pt,

I think there may be some package or version compatible issues. You are suggested to study the package related information and check if you adjust the version or build configuration to resolve the build error. When I search "hostapd nl80211" in Google, I can see the following webpage for related information.

hostapd - Linux Wireless

The installation of package spec is just a first step. There are some work you need before a workable version can be created.

BR,

Jack

Hello,

You can try following command:

./ltib -m prep -p hostapd

./ltib -m scbuild -p hostapd

It seems that Linux 3.0.35 is good!

This command also throws the error which I specified in the hostapd.txt

Hi, Pt

As an advice, you can download latest release source package for hostapd: http://hostap.epitest.fi/hostapd/

Acturally, you don't have to build it using ltib tools. You can configure compiling environment by yourself,such as environment variable, cross-compile gcc tools and so on.

In addition, ltib is a tool, is not necessary to build hostapd.

Hope my advice to help you!

Hi tonyzheng

Ok.Does the latest linux kernel support imx28? From where can I get its source?

Regards

Re: hostapd package is missing in linux2.6.35 freescale bsp package.

tonyzheng — Wed, 18 Jun 2014 07:18:47 GMT

Hi, Pt

The latest linux BSP (3.0.35 and 3.10.17) are dedicated to support imx6 application processor.

Re: hostapd package is missing in linux2.6.35 freescale bsp package.

pt — Wed, 18 Jun 2014 07:24:20 GMT

tonyzheng Which version support imx28(except linux2.6.35)? I am using MCIMX28EVK.

Re: hostapd package is missing in linux2.6.35 freescale bsp package.

tonyzheng — Wed, 18 Jun 2014 07:36:38 GMT

hi,

there no new linux bsp for imx28.

For hostapd, the linux kernel is not the main problem. First, you should have the hardware to support wireless features, such as SDIO WIFI card; Then, you should install device driver for wireless device, such as mac80211 drivers; At last, you should compile and install hostapd.

As far as i know,hostapd should be supported by 2.6.35 and i don't think you need to transfer to the latest linux.

Ok tonyzheng. I will try.Thank you.
