Other Parts Discussed in Thread: WL1837
Tool/software:
Hello everyone,
We use imx8mp with wl1837 wlan module, kernel version is 6.12.13, and we use calibrator tool which is provided by 18xx-ti-utils to perform regulatory test.
The problem is that after we upgrade wlan module firmware from R8.9.0.0.90 to R8.9.1.0.2_fips, calibrator tool doesn't work. I don't know whether plt mode is limited by R8.9.1.0.2_fips version, because when I replace firmware with R8.9.1.0.2 none-fips version, calibrator could work. So here is the test result.
firmware is got from git://git.ti.com/wilink8-wlan/wl18xx_fw.git
* calibrator could work with R8.9.0.0.90, this firmware version is from commit id d2588c16809ecca8e0dc7ea011fc6180c7b08a92
* calibrator could work with R8.9.1.0.2, this firmware version is from commit id 685097375c6530c98ce052fcd160001abaa1b256
* calibrator couldn't work with R8.9.1.0.2_fips, this firmware version is from commit id 0fd0e89a89fe8b9ee9ceca9479e531c255a64356
Below is the output and kernel log when I use firmware version.R8.9.1.0.2_fips.
```
~# ifconfig wlan0 down
~# calibrator --debug wlan0 plt power_mode on
