Linux/LINUXSDK-OMAPL138: Cross compile USB Wifi adapter driver for OMAPL138 (realtek, edimax 8192cu)

Part Number: LINUXSDK-OMAPL138
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAPL138

Tool/software: Linux

Dear all,

I am confused about the cross compile issue on the OMAPL138 platform.

I am looking for a reference point to cross compile a RTL8192cu Realtek (Edimax) usb wifi adapter for the OMAP.

Does anybody have a experience with this stuff?

What I also not understand is, the OMAPL138 has the 3.3 Kernel,

according the kernel tree, elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/v3.3/source/drivers/net/wireless

there is a wireless file with all wifi drivers, where for example the usb wifi adapter is also included. (rtlwifi)

Why are these drivers not on the OMAP linux kernel?

Thanks

    Hi Cargi,

    I am not sure I fully understand your question. The drivers for RTL8192cu are included in mcsdk, see the following path:
    mcsdk_1_01_00_02/board-support/linux-3.3-psp03.22.00.06.sdk/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192cu

    It is just a matter of including them in the kernel build (by modifying the tisdk_omapl138-lcdk_defconfig or by using Menuconfig) & if necessary add an entry in the board file.

    Best Regards,
    Yordan
