IW611 Wifi module driver and firmware

[RyanKhor]

Hi,

I would like to clarify steps to build wifi driver and some questions related to IW611. Please help to take a look. Thanks.

I am using kernel 5.10, and steps to build wifi driver for IW611 as follow based on my understanding. Please correct me if I am wrong.

1) clone repo : http://github.com/nxp-imx/mwifiex.git

1. Check out to version that closest to my kernel version, ie.: lf-5.10.y_1.0.0
   1. Question : This lf-5.10.y_1.0.0 branch last update was 4 years ago. Is the source code at that branch up to date and support all IW611 features ?

2) export KERNELDIR=<PATH TO KERNEL SOUCES> which point to 5.10 kernel source code.

3) update $CROSS_COMPILE

3) cd into wlan_src

4) make clean && make build

Other questions

For firmware in https://github.com/nxp-imx/imx-firmware.git , how do I know which firmware used for IW611? Also am I right that i need to check out lf-5.10.y_1.0.0 branch as well for my case?

--> we provide feature list for every release, you may check. Embedded Linux for i.MX Applications Processors | NXP Semiconductors

For firmware in https://github.com/nxp-imx/imx-firmware.git , how do I know which firmware used for IW611? Also am I right that i need to check out lf-5.10.y_1.0.0 branch as well for my case?

--> iw611 and iw612 share same firmware.
