i.MX6Q SABRE SD - How to porting ath9k PCIe on Android6.0

[rudolphhsueh]

Hello all,

          I use Atheros ath9k PCI-e module in our's  i.MX6Q custom board. I can use wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli to associate WIFI AP, but I cannot use wifi setting to connect. When I turn on the wifi, I have log message like below.

01-01 00:10:56.036 512 858 E WifiNative-HAL: Could not start hal
01-01 00:10:56.036 512 858 E WifiStateMachine: Failed to start HAL

The complete log files in the attachment. 

How to modify android wifi HAL and frameworks?
Thanks.

Hi Igorpadykov,

     I use ath9k on the android 4.4 successfully, but I cannot use it on android 6.0. I have a problem about HAL that is I cannot find the init_wifi_vendor_hal_func_table for atheros wifi.  The init_wifi_vendor_hal_func_table is defined in the wifi_hal.cpp. This part is unnecessary on android 4.4. If we don't have the correct wifi_hal.c, we have met the error like "Failed to start HAL". Is wifi_hal.c necessary on android6.0?
Thanks.
