Wl12xx wifi chip porting on I.mx6 freescale 3.10.17 BSP

[shabeerbadarudh]

Hello,

Anyone ported the wl12xx wifi chip driver to imx6  3.10.17 bsp?

Currently we are using 3.0.35 freescale BSP and ported the wifi chip driver successfully. Now we are decided to upgrade the BSP to 3.10.17. Since the 3.10 kernel using the 'device tree concepts',  it is very difficult to understand.

Anyone can help me??

Also if any documents are available for adding a new device to board file in 3.10 ?

Regards

Boundary Devies uses this on their boards so I think you could look at Nitrogen6x kernel for reference.

Hi Shabeer,

    Have you done the integration?. I am trying to integrate wl1273 wifi module with i.MX. I really appreciate if you could help with the changes in device tree files.

Thank you.

Hi,

Ljaz

You need to setup the SDIO interface, you can refer current dtsi file.

are you working on which kernel 3.10.17?

Thanks

Hi Saurabh,

       I am working on kernel version 3.10.17 which has device tree support. But I have doubt that weather the latest release for wl12xx driver supports device tree.

Hi Ijaz,

Based on boundary devices BSP we ported the wifi modules  to our custom board.

Hi Shaber, which board you are running this on ? How is the wifi chip is connected

to your board ? Is this a pcie card ?

Hi Sinan Akman, sorry for the late replay,i am out of office on  last five days..

We are using a custom board based on Sabrelite. The wifi chip is connected to the imx6 through sdio interface( not pcie ).

Do you have any idea to port the wifi driver to 3.10?

Thanks & Regards

Hi Shabeer, I suggest you search for other sdio drivers in the kernel and see how your

hardware differs from them. You could then use those as a base. Also, I would like

to suggest that you port your driver to latest mainline kernel. Not sure if you need to

stay with FSL's 3.10 kernel.

Hope this helps

Hi Sinan Akman,

We will compare with other sdio drivers..
