Android: Driver/firmware porting/integrating guide of 88w8997

[Abhijeet_Therokar]

Hi NXP team,

We are using the 88w8997 SoC for WIFI and BT in a product running on Android 12.

Is there any driver/firmware porting guide for the same?

We did check it on the official site in a product document section but it is not available.

It will be helpful if you provide us the porting document.

We are awaiting to hear from you.

Thanks,

Abhijeet Therokar

Hi @weidong_sun,
Can you share the Porting guide for Android 11?
Also, it will be helpful if you let us know how to verify that driver has been probed using dmesg/logcat.

Thanks,

Abhijeet Therokar
