Discussion on how to get ZBoss Zigbee stack up and running on i.MX8MM

[AlexJLennon]

Hi all,

I've been asked to move a conversation over here as I try to bring up ZBoss Zigbee support for the IW612 on our i.MX8M Mini board.

History:

"I've just been reading through the "ZBOSS IW612 delivery package". It looks like quite a manual process.

In the past I had a look at integrating the meta-nxp-connectivity layer as it seemed to have some support for meta-nxp-zigbee-rcp

Can you tell me if this is up to date and appropriate to use, as it would be more straightforward (and maintainable) for me to integrate this rather than manually create my own Yocto recipes"

...

"We need to update the UM11786. Highly recommend using the meta-nxp-connectivity recipe for integrating the ZBOSS stack offering into the i.MX BSP.

On another note, please use our community to ask any technical questions. We will manage it over the portal. It is easy to lose the information over emails and it is inefficient over a long run."

...

Integrating the driver + FW is done in the nxp-wlan-sdk_git.inc. Refer to the snippet below:

# 6.12.3-1.0.0/sources/meta-imx/meta-imx-bsp/recipes-connectivity/nxp-wlan-sdk$ cat nxp-wlan-sdk_git.inc

SUMMARY = "NXP Wi-Fi SDK for module 88w8801/8987/8997/9098 and IW416/612"

LICENSE = "GPL-2.0-only"

LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = file://${WORKDIR}/git/LICENSE;md5=ab04ac0f249af12befccb94447c08b77

# For Kernel 5.4 and later

SRCBRANCH = "lf-6.12.3_1.0.0"

MRVL_SRC ?= "git://github.com/nxp-imx/mwifiex.git;protocol=https"

SRC_URI = "${MRVL_SRC};branch=${SRCBRANCH}"

SRCREV = "0396cfb38ad73a3d587cd0f8c139b47801e70891"

...

So at the moment I think I am using firmware-imx-wifi

https://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-freescale/tree/recipes-bsp/firmware-imx/firmware-nxp-wifi_1.1.bb?h...

I need to look at how this relates to nxp-wlan-sdk...

Hi Alex,

Did you solve your issue?

[AlexJLennon]

Hi Warren,

Great timing! I have been focussed on some other work relating to audio codecs and your i.MX93 SOC. I'm just about to return to the Zigbee work in the next few days so will post an update here

Thanks,

Alex

Hi,

Could you please tell me who was supporting you before?

Please share with me your ZBOSS version.

Regards,

Daniel.

Looking at the board firmware image it looks to me as though in /lib/firmware/nxp/wifi_mod_para.conf we have

```

SDIW612 = {
cfg80211_wext=0xf
max_vir_bss=1
cal_data_cfg=none
ps_mode=0
auto_ds=1
host_mlme=1
fw_name=nxp/sduart_nw61x_v1.bin.se
}

```

So I think this is the IW612 firmware binary we are using atm
