[i.MX8QM-MEK] 88W8997 firmware download fail on android-10.0.0_2.6.0

[waynejeong]

Hello 

 I am doing test wifi driver on android-10.0.0_2.6.0 using i.MX8QM-MEK.

When I flashed LF_v5.10_2.0.0_image which is prebuilt image, 88W8997 works well. But android-10.0.0_2.6.0 image prebuilt is not.

Please review my console messages.

It was the same even if I flashed the image after built the source code.

Please let me know how to fix it.

Thank you.

Dear Weidong,

I am facing similar problem.

Could you help me solve it?

Hi,

Would you please confirm the contents of the following files?

---\fsl\imx8q\mek_8q\early.init.cfg

8997 driver will be loaded in the file:

insmod vendor/lib/modules/mlan.ko
insmod vendor/lib/modules/pcie8xxx.ko drv_mode=5 sta_name=wlan wfd_name=p2p ps_mode=2 auto_ds=2 max_vir_bss=1 cfg80211_wext=0xf cal_data_cfg=none p2p_enh=1 fw_name=mrvl/pcieuart8997_combo_v4.bin

[note]

firmware, pcieuart8997_combo_v4.bin should be in /vendor/firmware/mrvl/

---init.insmod.sh

cfg_file=$1

if [ -f $cfg_file ]; then
while IFS=" " read -r action name value arg1 arg2 arg3 arg4 arg5 arg6 arg7 arg8 arg9
do
case $action in
"insmod") insmod $name $value $arg1 $arg2 $arg3 $arg4 $arg5 $arg6 $arg7 $arg8 $arg9 ;;
"setprop") setprop $name $value ;;
esac
done < $cfg_file
fi

# set property even if there is no insmod config
# as property value "1" is expected in early-boot trigger
setprop $2 1

---init.rc

device\fsl\imx8q\mek_8q\

......

on early-init
start early_init_sh

......

service early_init_sh /vendor/bin/init.insmod.sh /vendor/etc/early.init.cfg sys.all.early_init.ready
class main
user root
group root system
disabled
oneshot

From the above files, you can clearly see how the wifi driver and firmware are loaded.

 Have a good day!

weidong
