Linux/PROCESSOR-SDK-AM57X: WiFi dongle support

Please specify dongle model and interface.

Hi,
by lsusb i am getting-
Bus 001 Device 000: ID 148f:5370 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5370 Wireless Adapter

I have enabled rt53xx ralink device driver option in "make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- menuconfig".
I hope this will be enough.

Hi, thanks for the information.
Also just tell me can i follow the instructions provided by this link for interfacing external driver?-
e2e.ti.com/.../578948
I am using latesst sdk.
Thanks.

Hi Bin,
Thanks for the information.
There is option for the same model in menuconfig. So i proceeded that way. Also i did all the things such as after checking the rt53xx driver option in menuconfig, i did make and make linux_install and followed the above thread steps to copy the zImage and other files inside the sdcard. After that i booted my x15, unfortunately didn't get rt53xx kernel module in lsmode commands. So need to check that again. BTW just needed to confirm that whether i am in right way or not.
Thanks

Oh great ,
Will make that again.
Thanks.

Hi,

I am interfacing usb camera with x15.

Its working fine with "/usr/share/qt5/examples/multimediawidgets/camera/camera" command.

But when i went with this link "https://e2e.ti.com/support/arm/sitara_arm/f/791/t/578948?Linux-AM5728-USB-WiFi-not-listed-as-network-interface"  to enable rt2800 usb module for my raylink rt5370 wifi module it throws error while doing "make linux".

The error is -

drivers/media/usb/uvc/uvc_driver.c: In function ‘uvc_probe’:
drivers/media/usb/uvc/uvc_driver.c:2100:19: error: implicit declaration of function ‘vb2_dma_contig_init_ctx’; did you mean ‘vb2_dma_contig_plane_dma_addr’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

Please suggest the solution.

Thanks.

Note: i am using latest processor sdk5

I checked the kernel in Processor SDK v5.0.0.15, its uvc_driver.c line 2100 doesn't call vb2_dma_contig_init_ctx(). Have you applied any patch on the kernel?

Hi Bin,
No i haven't applied any patch file. Strange as i was refering one of the thread where it was given to apply a usb_capture.txt patch file. So i checked the corresponding files and changes were already there. That means patch has been already done.
Should i remove this patch? if yes then how can i do that or should i just remove that vb2_dma_contig_init_ctx() function?
Thanks

Thanks Bin.

Hi,

This post is in continue with my previous post-

http://e2e.ti.com/support/arm/sitara_arm/f/791/p/725081/2676855#2676855 

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- menuconfig", i did make linux, and make linux_install.

Also copied the files as-

sudo cp -r board-support/linux-version/arch/arm/boot/zImage /media/<username>/boot/ /media/<username>/rootfs/boot/
sudo cp -r board-support/linux-version/arch/arm/boot/dts/am57xx-evm-reva3.dtb /media/<username>/boot/ /media/<username>/rootfs/boot/
sudo cp -r targetNFS/lib/modules/4.4.32-gadde2ca9f8 /media/<username>/rootfs/lib/modules/

Then i restarted my x15.

During lsmod i am able to see-

rt2x00usb 24576 1 rt2800usb
rt2800lib 102400 1 rt2800usb
crc_ccitt 16384 1 rt2800lib
rt2x00lib 53248 3 rt2800lib,rt2800usb,rt2x00usb.

But during modprobe, and dmesg, it throughs error-

[ 105.830352] ieee80211 phy1: rt2x00_set_rt: Info - RT chipset 5390, rev 0502 detected

Please help.

Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply,
My concern was as kernel driver for RT5370 is called rt2800usb. And there is rt2800usb support [Experimental] given in PSDK5. So thought that there would be support for that.

Rahul,

The kernel in the Processor SDK Linux package is based on the Linux community kernel, but TI won't be able to support every item in the whole kernel. For example, in this RT5370 case, RT5370 is not a TI product and we have no visibility to how its firmware works, so we cannot support it. Does it make sense?

Bin,
Thanks for clarification.
