Hi guys,
I would like to install the driver of a AP6236 Wi-Fi module to my iMX6ULL14x14EVK using Yocto's bitbake command but I don't know how to do it.
So far,
(i) I managed to create the simplest OS image using the command "bitbake core-image-base" and deployed the image to my target board, however when I power up the board, I am not able bring up the wlan up option.
Getting following error..
root@imx6ull14x14evk:~# ifconfig wlan0 up
dhd_open: Enter 8851d000

(ii) Also I have run the menuconfig tool on the bitbake environment:
bitbake linux-imx -c menuconfig
Enabled the necessary options like below image..
(iii)We also have AP3626 firmware files fw_bcm43436b0.bin and nvram_ap6236.txt
but please guide us in where should I add these files ??
Note: Using kernel version 4.1.15
