[IMX6Q] bcmdhd wifi driver got kernel panic when insert the module driver

kai_wang · ‎01-05-2016

Hello,

We have our own board designed after the SabreSD-6Q and I am trying to bring WiFi module BCM43438 (similar to BCM43430) on imx6 quad platform.

Environment:

Platform: IMX6 quad

Codebase: Android 5.0.2 1.0.0-ga-rc4

Linux base: 3.10.53

The wifi module is connected to sd2/mmc2 controller.

The bcm reset (wlreg_on) line is connected to gpio_5(GPIO1_IO05) and interrupt(WL_WAKE_HOST) line is connected to gpio_16 (GPIO7_IO11)

The below changes are in dts file.

dts setting：

wlreg_on: fixedregulator {

compatible = "regulator-fixed";

regulator-name = "wlreg_on";

gpio = <&gpio1 5 0>;

startup-delay-us = <600000>;

enable-active-high;

regulator-boot-on;

//regulator-always-on;

};

bcmdhd_wlan{

compatible = "android,bcmdhd_wlan";

wlreg_on-supply = <&wlreg_on>;

gpios = <&gpio7 11 0>;//WL_WAKE_HOST

interrupt-names = "bcmdhd_wlan_irq";//interrupts name

interrupt-parent = <&gpio7>;

interrupts = <11 1>;

interrupt-controller;

};

&iomuxc {

….

MX6QDL_PAD_GPIO_5__GPIO1_IO05 0x80000000 //wlreg_on

MX6QDL_PAD_GPIO_16__GPIO7_IO11 0x80000000 //WL_WAKE_HOST

&usdhc2 {

pinctrl-names = "default";

pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_usdhc2_2>;

no-1-8-v;

keep-power-in-suspend;

enable-sdio-wakeup;

status = "okay";

};

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

pinctrl_usdhc2_2: usdhc2grp-2 {

fsl,pins = <

MX6QDL_PAD_SD2_CMD__SD2_CMD 0x17059

MX6QDL_PAD_SD2_CLK__SD2_CLK 0x10059

MX6QDL_PAD_SD2_DAT0__SD2_DATA0 0x17059

MX6QDL_PAD_SD2_DAT1__SD2_DATA1 0x17059

MX6QDL_PAD_SD2_DAT2__SD2_DATA2 0x17059

MX6QDL_PAD_SD2_DAT3__SD2_DATA3 0x17059

>;

};

When I try to insert the bcmdhd driver, the system got panic.

There are two failures while loading the wifi driver and collected the logs.

Case 1: The system stack at module driver bring up. As the log “case_1”, the stack point is the function “bcmsdh_oob_intr_register” (line 572).

It seems the panic happens when the function “request_irq” has been called.

Case 2: Add “interrupt-controller“ in the dts setting, the module is unstable when it has been brought up. It can pass the case 1 at sometimes, and it got another panic as “Workqueue: kmmcd mmc_rescan”(line 593).

Let me know Is there something wrong with the dts setting if it is wrong?

Please suggest if you have any additional pointers or any reasons for this issue.

Hi,

I noticed that Dongle Host Driver, version is 1.141.88, this is new bcmdhd and cannot be there in kernel L3.10.53.

Can you add below debugs in file dhd_linux_platdev.c, function wifi_plat_dev_drv_probe I think wifi_plat_data is "null"

DHD_ERR(("%s wifi platform data %p\n", __FUNCTION__, adapter->wifi_plat_data));

fulinux · ‎06-03-2016

hi,

are you still there? do you have bcmdhd firmware like this:

modprobe bcmdhd firmware_path=/lib/firmware/bcm/ZP_BCM4339/fw_bcmdhd.bin nvram_path=/lib/

firmware/bcm/ZP_BCM4339/bcmdhd.ZP.SDIO.cal

kai_wang · ‎06-03-2016

HI

In command line use, It should check your firmware and nvram file are exist in the path in your porting system. (not in your Compiled PC)

fulinux · ‎06-03-2016

Hi,

firmware and nvram files are used by old kernel linux-3.0, my old kernel runs will with those files? Can't use them by new BSP kernel(linux-4.1.15, BSP: imx_4.1.15_1.0.0_ga)? can you give me your files, i will try that.

mengliangxia · ‎06-02-2017

do you have firmware and nvram file that imx6ul linux 4.1.15 can use ?My wifi is bcm43362.But i don't know where can i get the firmware file

kai_wang · ‎06-03-2016

Hi

In my knows, firmware and nvram are related to wifi chip not kernel system.

So that, you should

1. Check the firmware and nvram are exist in /lib/firmware/bcm/ZP_BCM4339/fw_bcmdhd.bin and

/lib/firmware/bcm/ZP_BCM4339/bcmdhd.ZP.SDIO.cal

2.Check wifi module provider the firmware and nvram can be used in linux 4.1.15

And I am using our own wifi module, the firmware and nvram can‘t be used in others.

i don't know what's happend, can you give me some advice? where are you come from?

should i add host_oob_irq or host_wake_irq in dts file, because in my old kernel linux-3.0's board file has this:

//wifi

int bcm_wlan_get_oob_irq(void)

{

int host_oob_irq = 0;

gpio_request(WIFI_HOST_WAKE, "wifi_host_wake");

gpio_direction_input(WIFI_HOST_WAKE);

host_oob_irq = gpio_to_irq(WIFI_HOST_WAKE);

printk("host_oob_irq: %d \r\n", host_oob_irq);

return host_oob_irq;

}

EXPORT_SYMBOL(bcm_wlan_get_oob_irq);

void bcm_wlan_power_on(int flag)

{

if (flag == 1) {

force_remove_sdio3();

printk("======== PULL WL_REG_ON LOW! ========\n");

gpio_set_value(WIFI_REG_ON, 0);

mdelay(100);

printk("======== PULL WL_REG_ON HIGH! ========\n");

gpio_set_value(WIFI_REG_ON, 1);

/* Lets customer power to get stable */

}

kai_wang · ‎06-06-2016

HI

1. Please check your sdio bus or wifi module, wifi module is missing in the 2nd log

2. I had removed oob irq in the dts file and mask obb irq register in the DHD driver.

It is because I followed freescale release do and you could find some thread said mmc issue about CPU.

weidong_sun · ‎01-05-2016

Hello Kai,

From your logs, it seemed that you compiled wifi driver into kernel !

you can try to compile it as a single module, then insert it to system by insmod application after booting. Don't forget to add firmware when using insmod 'bcmdhd.ko' .

Regards,

Weidong

kai_wang · ‎01-06-2016

Hi Weidong

The logs seemed module build-in that I forgot to turn Wifi off in the Setting app.

The problem is that when I insert module driver, I will get stuck and panic at the "request_irq" function.

Attach the new log is used insmod function as you mention.

I have found an article in the community, it said that you cannot use the GPIO in the first bank as an interrupt source.

1. Is that GPIO_16 in the first bank?

2. Is there something wrong with the dts setting if it is wrong?

fulinux · ‎06-02-2016

hi wang,

have you solve this problem, can you give me you qq or email? would you touch me with my qq:861239127?

kai_wang · ‎06-02-2016

Hi 福林

I don't have QQ. Sorry.

I followed the method in the android 5.1.1 (android 6.0.1) from freescale release to remove the interrupts gpio in our own bcmdhd driver.

It seems to work fine in android 5.1.1 and 6.0 with our own driver.

So, you can find the android release in the NXP website.

(You can only download kernel source for android from repo sync if you think the whole android source code is too big)

B.R.

Kai

chengsi · ‎07-27-2017

Hi Wang:

You said you changed the bcmdhd driver, but i can not find the document about how to change the driver in android, can you please give me some reference? thanks

fulinux · ‎06-02-2016

Hi Wang,

this is my dts file attached as follows.

and then i use this command:

insmod /home/root/firmware/bcmdhd.ko firmware_path=/home/root/firmware/wlan/fw_bcm40181a2.bin nvram_path=/home/root/firmware/wlan/nvram_ap6210.txt

it log show some wrong:
