x86_64 driver for iw611

[malj]

Hello,

I got a eval kit with a 2DL module from murata using the iw611 chip laying around and I would like to test it out using my laptop. I read UM11675 and it dosnt say anything about a driver for non ARM. Is there none available? When I did a quick search it looked like it had been at some point (e.g. https://community.nxp.com/t5/Wireless-Connectivity-Knowledge/How-to-compile-IW416-linux-driver-for-x...)

best regards

Hi, @malj 

Thanks for creating case to us.

Are you using Ubuntu PC based on Linux?

I think for X86 platform, you can directly compile our Wi-Fi driver with below command:

make KERNELDIR="Your kernel location" build

And for your information, usually on Ubuntu, the default Linux kernel directory is below:

/usr/src/linux-headers-xxxx

I give you an example of compile command as below:

make KERNELDIR=/usr/src/linux-headers-5.4.0-192-generic build

Please do not forget to modify the ARCH from arm64 to x86 in Makefile before build the Wi-Fi source code.

You can try on your side, and let me know whether is successful on your side.

If there are any errors or still need our help, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Best regards,

Christine.
