EVM 3530, Windows CE and WL1271

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: WL1271, OMAP3530, AM3517

Hi to all.

I'm trying to build an OS image for the EVM 3530 with WiFi support. Although I'm adding the WiFi component from the Components view in VS2005, I cannot build the OS.

I get 2 errors which say that evm35xx_base_regs.h and sdi.dll are missing.

So... how can someone add wifi support for windows ce 6 and for evm 3530 board?

Thanks in advance!

  • Hi

    In order to add wifi you just need to go the Catalog Items View. In here go to the Third Party Folder and look for Adeneo Embedded. In here go to the following location: Drivers->WiLink 6.0-> WL1271-> Drivers->WLAN. In here you need to select WL1271 WiFi SDIO Support::Mistral EVM2 OMAP3530 and OMAP3730 option.

    You also need to select the following options: WPA Encription and WPA2 Encription. These options are in the following path: Third Party-> Adeneo Embedded-> WLAN-> Security Support.

    After selecting all the options mentioned here you should be able to include wifi for your WinCE 6 OS image.

  • Hi there,

    Firstly, thank you for your answer. 

    I'm using the BSP for EVM 3530, downloaded from TI's link. I'm trying to find the catalog item that you mentioned but there is not such. 

    The catalog item tree is as follows:

    Third Party -> Adeneo Embedded -> Bluetooth Manager

    The only reference to WL1271 is at:

    Third Party -> TI - WL1271

    Where it has:

    Bluetooth, WL1271 Tools and WLAN (with WLAN Support and Security Support)

    As I wrote at my first message, when I'm choosing the

    Third Party -> TI - WL1271 -> WLAN -> WLAN Support

    and 

    Third Party -> TI - WL1271 -> WLAN ->Security Support -> WPA Encryption

    I get the errors that the file omap35xx_base_regs.h and sdi.dll are missing.

    Thus, how can I find the catalog item that you specified? If the catalog items that I mentioned are equivalent, where can someone finds the missing files?

    Thank you in advance!

  • Hi

    Could you share the link that you used to download the BSP? To get the exact same BSP that you have right now, because it looks like you have a completely different structure in your catalog items.

  • Hi and sorry for the delayed reply,

    The link that I used to download the BSP is the one provided by TI if someone registers the EVM 3530 board and this is:

    https://focus-webapps.ti.com/licreg/swreghomepage.tsp?toPerform=getActivationItems&DCMP=sw_licensing&HQS=Other+OT+myregisteredsoftware

    And the link provided by Adeneo, which is:

    https://fs.adetelgroup.com/fxi_interface/hf07466681776179df6e597469d726f3/index.php?rnd=authok_0.6641438694205135

    Any ideas why I have different structure on my OS catalog items ?

    Regards,

  • Hi

    Right now one option about the difference could be that the Wi-Fi and BT driver folder is in a wrong path. Your folder structure should look like this: WINCE600\3rdParty\AdeneoEmbedded. And once the solution is open in VS you should see the following in the Solution Explorer: under Subrpojects you should see 3 items listed, BthManager, DVSDK (this is part of the BSP, not the WL1271 driver) and WiLink.

    And about the missing files that you mentioned, the sdi.dll is missing because probably your project is failing before it can generates the sdi.dll. About the header file that you mentioned, I can't find it in my own BSP, the two similar files that I can found are am3517_base_regs.h and omap3530_base_regs.h. Do you know which file is causing those errors you are seeing?Could you share the log file that is generated with the errors?

  • Hi again

    My directory structure is: WINCE600\3rdParty\ and under that I have:

    dvdsdk, AdeneoEmbedded, TI_ECS, Licence. All are folders

    In the WINCE600\3rdPart\AdeneoEmbedded path I have: BluetoothManager_V211, Catalog. And all are folders as well

    There is nowhere the WiFi related folder. The only related folder is at: WINCE600\3rdParty\TI_ECS\WL1271

    And as I have written before, I have installed the provided BSP by Adeneo (after I registered an account at Adeneo).

    So, my questions are:

    Is there any BSP provided that I can download, which has the proper directory structure?

    In case that there is not such a BSP, where can I find the provided WiFi tools at the BSP that Adeneo provides?

    Thanks!

  • For the M6.03 driver for the WL127X we would expect the following paths.  The WLAN driver itself is located under WiLink_6.0.

    WINCE600\AdeneoEmbedded\BluetoothManager_V211
    WINCE600\AdeneoEmbedded\Catalog
    WINCE600\AdeneoEmbedded\Drivers\WiLink_6.0

    Which Wifi/WLAN driver version are you trying to integrate into WINCE6.0?
