Hi everyone,
I need to set the wireless module into continuous transmission mode for some RF tests, and I'm struggling on how to achieve that..
System infos :
Carrier board : Toradex colibri IM.X6ULL
Wifi module : NXP 88W8997 (on Azurwave cm276nf module) using SDIO communication
Kernel version : 5.15.36
Wifi driver : marwell mwifiex
- From what I've found so far, there is an RF test mode that should be available on the wifi module, which would be activated with the following command.
echo "rf_test_mode=1" >> /proc/mwlan/adapter0/config
My guess is that once I'll have access to this mode, I'll be able to configure the module to perform a continuous transmission.
With my current setup, the wifi interface correctly enumerates and I can use it, but there is no such thing as /proc/mlan/.. I also saw that there was an NXP driver (moal.ko / mlan.ko).
Which driver/firmware should I use ?
- I saw (from UM11490) that there is a test software (labtool) that should be used to perform rf tests, but I'd rather avoid using it. Is it mandatory ?
Any help/tips would be greatly appreciated
