hi guys..
is there anyone , who knows how to activate / compile / build realtek 8192cu wireless wifi dongle on android 4.0 icecream sandwich on imx6 boards ? I have an imx6 series processor board it's imx6ql I believe. I do not have a sabre board from freescale who guides are available on freescale website, but a customized board with imx6ql arm processor.
anyone can help me with this ?
Actually, porting wifi to android is not very difficult, the following is general steps:
(1)compiling linux drivers by cross compiler on linux host platform
you can complie it independently, or add it to embeded linux kernel , then comipile it by using "make modules" command after compiling linux kernel.
(2)add firmwire to android
you can refter to other wifi hardware(for example, broadcom etc), put firmware for your wifi into firmware path in android source code.
(3)adjust BoardConfig.mk
add neccesary Macro for you WIFI in the file, which determines how to compile those files for wifi.
(4)WIFI HAL
wifi.c is it's HAL, you can adjust the file according to your environment.
hope above advice can help you !
I downloaded all document and linux drivers from realtek official web site, and check them, they not ony provide drivers for linux and android, but also detailed document. if you don't have them, please reter to attachment!
