Adding new wifi driver to imx6UL Yocto BSP

pratyushtomar · ‎07-25-2016

I am using AtwilC3000 wifi module with my imx6ul evk. Atmel provides drivers for linux GitHub - atwilc3000/driver: Atmel wireless driver for ATWILC3000. How can I include this driver (compile) in Yocto Bsp? Is their any how to do this?

More or less, you should

- first, be able to compile the kernel source separately (prepare your own script)

- copy the driver in the appropriate place, likely drivers/net/wireless

- edit drivers/net/wireless/Kconfig to add the options for the folders you just added

- edit drivers/net/wireless/Makefile to include the folders you just added

- finally make menuconfig and make, see if you can have a working image
