Driver for QCA6174 and support for i.MX7 ?

[hvparys]

It is mentioned on the NXP website that Silex is a proven partner (NXP - Partner Profile Information ). One of the supported devices is the SX-PCEAC2 WiFi module with QCA6174-5 chip. Two questions:

1. Can you specify what driver is used for this device ?
2. Why are most i.MX6 and i.MX8 devices mentioned in the list of processors that support it, but not the i.MX7 ?

Hi Hans

it is supported in NXP Linux 4.9.88, one can look in Linux Manual included in

Linux 4.9.88_2.0.0 BSP & Multimedia Codecs Documentation

Hi Igor,

This is a bit confusing:

- the documentation that you are referring to is about the QCA CLD driver

- in the article How to evaluate QCA6174 radio on i.MX 8 EVK platform?, the ath10k driver is used.

These aren't the same drivers. NXP supports the same chip with different drivers ?

Best regards,

Hans

Hi Hans

below part of L4.9.88_2.0.0 Release Notes

could you point where in official documentation "QCA CLD driver" mentioned.

May be also useful to check murata wifi imx portal:

wireless.murata.com/eng/products/rf-modules-1/wi-fi-bluetooth-for-freescale-i-mx.html

Article is just another solution, note nxp official documents are located on

i.MX Software|NXP

Hi Igor,

QCA CLD is mentioned in the i.MX Reference Manual (Document IMXLXRM, Rev. L.4.9.88_2.0.0-ga, 05/2018), section 4.12.2.

Best regards,
