Hi Bin

I am working on Wi-Fi module WL1831MOD on the TI package am335x-evm-sdk-src-07.00.00.00.tar.gz and kernel linux-3.12.10-ti2013.12.01.tar.bz2

I copy the firmware board-support/extra-drivers/wl18xx-firmware-r8.a8.10/wl18xx-fw-2.bin to my fileystem rootfs/lib/firmware/ti-connectivity

I compiled linux-3.12.10-ti2013.12.01 zImage and modules, and install all modules Wi-Fi WL1831MOD needs like the following:

insmod configfs.ko

insmod wlcore_sdio.ko

insmod wlcore_spi.ko

insmod rfkill.ko

insmod rfkill-gpio.ko

insmod rfkill-regulator.ko

insmod cfg80211.ko

insmod mac80211.ko

insmod wlcore.ko

But there is no wlan0 interface appears in my board, do you know why.

Thank you!

Desmond,

I guess you are calling me ;)

Sorry, I am not familiar with WL/wifi stuff, but have you checked the kernel dmesg log? maybe there is any clue telling if any driver probing failure.

WL18xx should work "out of the box" with SDK7.0

Are you using the following command to enable STA?

/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -d -Dnl80211 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan0 -B

Below is my log using the prebuilt am335x-evm-sdk-bin-07.00.00.00.tar.gz files om AM335x EVM + COM8 board.

(Sorry, I have not build SDK7 from src as you have. But you can always test with bin files).

Hi Joe,

I use the same package prebuilt am335x-evm-sdk-bin-07.00.00.00.tar.gz files, but I don't get wlan0 interface as you:

Again, are you using the following command to enable STA?

Desmond,

desmond liu said:
wpa_supplicant v1.0

Can you please double check if you use the root filesystem from the SDK? Joe's log shows 'wpa_supplicant v2.0-devel', but yours is v1.0, which seems telling you use a different version of the wpa_supplicant utility.

Hi Bin,

I am using TI am335x-evm-sdk-bin-07.00.00.00.tar.gz filesystems, tisdk-rootfs-image-am335x-evm.tar.gz /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant whose version is 1.0, I don't know where does Joe get wpa_supplicant 2.0dvel.

Thank you!

This is strange... I use SDK7.0 as while and my wpa_supplicant is v2.0-devel too. Even in SDK6.0 it is already v2.0-devel.

Look at http://hostap.epitest.fi/releases/, v1.0 is already two years old.

Hi Joe,

When I use the following command:

I get the following message:

But when I check WF_EN GPIO89, it still be low. Do you know why?

cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio

For BT, I have only used the SS1 Bluetoia stack available here: http://www.ti.com/tool/linuxezsdk-am335x-wilink8

And documented here: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/StoneStreet_One_Bluetopia_Platform_Manager_Bluetooth_Stack_for_TI_WL18xx

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/WiLink8_Bluetooth_Demo:_Linux-Stonestreet_One

Have you run any of this on a TI board either AM335x EVM + COM8 or a Beaglebone White + WL1835 Cape?

Having a working reference might make debugging your system easier

Hi Joe,

Thank you very much for your reply.

The problem of BlueTooth is that it seems uart5 does not communicate with WL18xxMOD, but if we send out characters from uart5, it seems uart5 functions. For this scenario could you give me some suggestions?
