How to enable wl1271 driver in latest ltib ?

jimtremblay · ‎07-16-2013

Hi,

is there anybody that can help me to enable wl1271 driver found in latest linux bsp package (L2.6.35_10.12.01)? I have been able to compile wl1271 sdio driver in kernel module, but when I try to "modprobe wl1271_sdio", I receive many errors from unkown symbol and some disagrees about version:

modprobe: failed to load module wl1271 (/lib/modules/2.6.35.3-571-gcca29a0/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl1271.ko): Invalid argument

I presume ieee80211 is missing, but I don't see how to compile and integrate into kernel or loadable module.

Thanks in advance

Hi Dave,

I have successfully compiled wl1271_sdio module by doing some modifications to the code:

In ltib/rpm/BUILD/linux/drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl1271_sdio.c

1- Change <plat/gpio.h> to <asm/gpio.h>

2- Do not make the same mistake as me: This module (Murata or any others) CAN'T WORK in standard sd slot without modifications. Yes you can use all the SDIO signals from your card connector, but you will need to connect WLAN_IRQ of module to one of your GPIO. I have use GPIO0_23 on i.MX28EVK. I have connected a Murata module to SDIO signals from SD card slot 1.

3- Change RX71_WL1271_IRQ_GPIO from 42 to 23 if you have choose the same IO as me. If not, you can calculate it easily. Example: 42 = 42 / 32 = 1 and 42 % 32 = 10 then it is equal to GPIO1_10. To use GPIO0_23, disable FlexCAN when you configure the kernel.

4- Change call position of function set_irq_type in wl1271_probe function before calling request_irq instead of after. For my part, it was necessary to not enter irq service routine before reaching end of probe function and have the time to initialize the ieee80211 work queue.

In ltib/rpm/BUILD/linux/arch/arm/mach-mx28/mx28evk_pins.c

1- Change all fields .voltage from static struct pin_desc mx28evk_ssp1_pins to PAD_1_8V instead of PAD_3_3V.

2- Add an entry to static struct pin_desc mx28evk_ssp1_pins for WLAN_IRQ. Example:

{ .name = "WLAN_IRQ",

.id = PINID_GPMI_RDY3, //GPIO0_23

.fun = PIN_GPIO,

.strength = PAD_4MA,

.voltage = PAD_1_8V,

.output = 0, // set pin in input

}

In ltib/rpm/BUILD/linux/drivers/mmc/host/mxs-mmc.c

Add support of 1.8V to mxs_mmc_probe. Add MMC_VDD_165_195 to the line mmc->ocr_avail = MMC_VDD_32_33 | MMC_VDD_33_34;

In ltib/rpm/BUILD/linux/arch/arm/plat-mxs/include/mach/entry-macro.S

There is a bug in irq management of all gpios of port 0. Right after macro disable_fiq, change macro like this:

.macro get_irqnr_and_base, irqnr, irqstat, base, tmp

ldr \base, =g_icoll_base

ldr \base, [\base]

ldr \irqnr, [\base, #0x70]

cmp \irqnr, #0x7F

bne 2f

ldr \tmp, [\base, #0xD0]

tst \tmp, #0x80000000

moveqs \irqnr, #0

2:

.endm

Do not forget to copy wl1271-fw.bin and wl1271-nvs.bin files in in your rootfs at /lib/firmware/. You can find these files in linux-firmware git repository in ti-connectivity folder.

To activate your SSP1 port instead of GPMI:

1- Execute ./ltib -m config in the root of your ltib installation.

2- In Package List, from this line noinitrd console=ttyAM0,115200 root=/dev/mmcblk0p3 rw rootwait ip=none gpmi, change gpmi for ssp1 if you boot from the SD card0 like me.

If you have problems, I can help you.

Is there anyone available that can help me?

Thank you

Have you got anywhere with this? I'm building for 2.6.35 for the i.mx28

I'm just trying to build it and coming up against plat/gpio.h no such file or directory?

Can you point me in the right direction?

Hello Jim,

I'm trying to do the same as you, I wonder if you can suggest where I go from here. I am trying to get the Murata WiFi/Bluetooth (LBEE5ZSTNC == wl1271) working under ltib (L2.6.35_10.12.01) (linux kernel 2.6.35.3-571) on a platform that is very close to the iMX28 evk from freescale.

I have implemented your suggestions as to

1) the include reference

2 & 3) the WLAN_IRQ (mine is on GPIO 1.18)

4) Swap the order of set_irq_type in wl1271_probe call and call to request_irq . You don't say whether this applies to wl1271.c or wl1271_sdio.c so I've done both.

5) Fixed the pin definitions in imx28evk_pins.c (and added the IRQ pin)

6) Adjusted ltib/rpm/BUILD/linux/drivers/mmc/host/mxs-mmc.c to allow for 1.65 to 1.9 v range.

7) Adjustred ltib/rpm/BUILD/linux/arch/arm/plat-mxs/include/mach/entry-macro.S (although my irq is not in bank 0)

8) Copied the firmware to the target

9) Adjusted the kernel boot parameters: noinitrd console=ttyAM0,115200 root=/dev/mmcblk0p3 rw rootwait ip=none ssp1

This last one is interesting as I can't find anything in rpm/BUILS/linux-2.6.35.3 or in imx-bootlets that looks for either 'gpmi' or 'ssp1' on the kernel parameters.

In any case, when booted the code doesn't seem to recognise the ssp1. If I build wl1271 as a module it is not automatically loaded. If I load it with modprobe it loads without errors but there is no new device seen by ifconfig or iwconfig. If I build it into the kernel there are no errors but also no device. (cfg80211 and mac80211 are built into the kernel).

Here's some of the log (I can show more it it's relevent):

After this, there are no further references to either mmc or ssp.

I assume I'm missing something fundamental about getting the system to look for and recognise a device on ssp1. Is there an sdio module I should load (and why didn't it load automatically)? Any idea where to look next?

Also, this system has been working fine up until now, on slightly different hardware, with a real SD card in ssp1. It would find and create /dev/mmcblk1 and read and write the SD card ok. Should I be doing something to disable the mmcblk1 device?

Hi Coloney,

have you already checked out if the slow_clk @ 32.768 Hz is correctly enabled? This setup has to be done before mxs-mmc probing...also you have to assure that wlan_en is high before mxs_mmc linux driver startup.

Francesco

Colin_MTData · ‎05-27-2014

Hi Francesco (or Jim)

After getting the device recognised, the next step is to initialise it. I got the firmware files from the reference in wl12xx - Linux Wireless and put them in /lib/firmware. (although some sources seem to suggest /lib/firmware/ti-connectivity )

The command iwconfig seems to operate on the wlan0 device (but some features are not available)

The "ifconfig wlan0 up" fails as the wl1271-nvs.bin seems to be the wrong size. The web page suggests that this needs to be built specifically for my machine with a 'calibrate' utility.

The reference in wl12xx - Linux Wireless is to the latest ti wl21xx drivers and my packages from Freescale for the iMX28 with kernel 2.6.35 are much older.

I wanted to build the TI utilities to get the calibrate utility but the package refers to and/or needs files in the linux tree that aren't in my older kernel tree.

I also had a go at fitting the new ti drivers into the old tree but there are just too many dependencies on newer files for me to get that working.

Do you have any idea how to get the wl1271 up and running on the old 2.6.35 kernel? Do I need to build the calibrato? If so, how? Can I just get the .bin files from somewhere? Especially the wl1271-nvcs.bin?

Can I get an old ti-utils package that would build under the old tree from Freescale?

Colin

Hi Moloney,

this period I was busy of work too, that's the reason I didn't reply to you as soon as you expected.

I still got several issues about tiwi wlan0 startup, at the moment after appling the wlan patches provided by linux-wlan community I just can scan wireless networks without reaching the connection.

Surely you need the calibrator, cross-compiled for arm and installed into your root-fs for generating the nvs file needed for wl1271. In this site you can get all the instructions for what you need:

Colin_MTData · ‎05-08-2014

Hi Francesco,

Sorry I have replied earlier, I’ve been busy on other work.

Yes, your advice was exactly what was needed. The 32kHz clock was on but the enable wasn’t on at the time the device was probed. Turning it on earlier fixed the issue of recognising the device.

Thanks very much.

Colin Moloney.

I'm involved to porting the wl1271 device (Tiwi-Ble LSR research) to my custom i.mx287 board, using ssp2 instead of ssp1. I've successfully configured the wl1271 setup using ssp bus 0, but with ssp.2 the device is not probed correctly within mmc linux subsystem (on linux kernel 2.6.35.3), as you can see below with mmc debug prints:
