WL1271 CLI interface for Panda board

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: WL1271

We're currently trying to configure the TI WL1271 wireless chipset using its command line interface as described here:

Unfortunately, we do not have the necessary kernel modules like sdio.ko, bmtrace.ko, and tiwlan_drv.ko.  Do you know where we can obtain these modules or where we can find more detailed instructions on how to access the TI WL1271 command line interface?

    Hi Suhas,

    It looks like there is no WLAN support with the Release you are using, can you please indicate which release are you based on? if it is the new Open source driver that we are currently based on so the configuration is done in a different manner and we no longer use the command line interface.

    Please direct me to the relevant release you are using and i will be able to help with more details.

    Regards,

    Hi Eyal

    Thank you for your reply. When you say release, do you mean the release of the linux kernel? Or the release of the WL1271 driver? Here are some of the details:

    OS - Ubuntu 11.1

    Kernel source (most probably) - linux-ti-ompa4-3.1.0-1282.11.tar.gz

    How do I look up the release of the WL1271 driver (if that is what you are asking for) ?

    Separately, I found that using iwconfig I could set parameters like the transmit power -"iwconfig wlan0 txpower 20dBm". Is iwconfig fully supported on the panda board and the correct way to configure and query WL1271?

    Regards

    Suhas

    Hi Suhas,

    I would look for information in http://omappedia.org/wiki/PandaBoard

    also You can refer to Panda board mailing list:

    Website: http://pandaboard.org

    Mailing List: pandaboard@googlegroups.com

    as for IW commands, IW commands are used to control the WLAN however iwconfig command is not maintained any more and only part of the command options are supported in the WLAN driver open source

    Regards,
