wifi problem



Hi

A) From where i should get the firmware for OMAP4 ICS ??

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git   (Showing :read error:connection reset by peer)

B) Actually while booting the TI blaze Tablet it showing Error could not get firmware:2

Help me to resolve these two.

Regards

Mukesh

  • Hi Mukesh.

    According to http://www.omappedia.com/wiki/4AI.1.7_OMAP4_Icecream_Sandwich_Release_Notes#WLAN_Firmware_files, you should find the firmware in the repo.

    I use Jelly Bean instead of ICS, but in the case of JB, the firmware is in device/ti/proprietary-open/wl12xx/wlan/wlan.tgz.

  • I didn't see that exact error but if you have a wilink7 and are trying to use the 2.5 build it won't work because 2.5 is building wilink8 driver.   However, you if you build the wilink7 drivers but you either need to rename one of the kernel modules or you can patch device/ti/blaze_tablet/BoardConfig.mk like so:

    diff --git a/BoardConfig.mk b/BoardConfig.mk
    index 5bc63b3..652072d 100644
    --- a/BoardConfig.mk
    +++ b/BoardConfig.mk
