OMAPL138 EVM (Zoom) and WL1271 Wifi daughter card.

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: WL1271, OMAPL138

I have used the EVM to create some C6Accel programs and that is working fine.

I have modified U-Boot and can boot over TFTP and NFS mount the target fs of the DVSDK 4.0.x that came with the EVM.

 

My question is that I would like to use the current setup for a wireless experiment -

For a different project, I now need to test the WL1271 Wifi card.

I have found how to connect the hardware together.

When I boot, it seems to me  that the DVSDK 4.0.x I am using has no Wifi support.

I am not clear on what I have to do to get the OMAPL138 and Wifi to work together - do I need to patch the DVSDK ?  Or do I need to install a new SDK ?

Do I need to create a seperate SD card to boot off ? Or can I keep booting over TFTP and mount the file system over NFS.

Any advice appreciated.

    Boris,

    For adding WL1271 wifi card you have to check whether your kernel has driver for wl127x series and if available you've add the particular WLAN card specific changes to the kernel and then enable the drivers. Also you need user space applications like wpa_supplicant to do connection management and other related activities. Its not a small work as far as I understand.
