Getting started with WL1271 and Rev G omap3evm

Hi Dave,

As you pointed out, there is a versioning issue between WL1271 drivers and kernel uImage. You need to use the uImage and

WLAN/BT drivers (v2.01.03.11-WL6.1.3.1.tar.bz2) from the below link to get the WL1271 daughter card working.

(http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/dvsdk/DVSDK_3_00/latest/index_FDS.html

Package is v2.01.03.11-WL6.1.3.1-1.0-Linux-x86-Install.

The binaries will be available under //software/images/.

The WL1271 Setup Guide.pdf describes how to reflash uImage and load WLAN/BT drivers.

I refer the guid to complie the driver but i have shis err, how can i do?

/usr/local/arm-2009q1/bin/../arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc/usr/include/linux/if.h:125: error: redefinition of 'struct ifmap'
/usr/local/arm-2009q1/bin/../arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc/usr/include/linux/if.h:161: error: redefinition of 'struct ifreq'
/usr/local/arm-2009q1/bin/../arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc/usr/include/linux/if.h:211: error: redefinition of 'struct ifconf'

Hi Jason,

It seems that you have compiled the driver with tool chain version arm-2009q1.

Please use compiler version arm-2007q3 for building the package.

Regards,

Sinoj

1) I just complie the WiLink6.1.3.1.tar.bz2 package

2)my step is

# soucre omap3530_env_noXCC.sh

 KERNEL_DIR=/home/jason/tipsp/OMAP35x-PSP-SDK/src/kernel/linux-02.01.03.11

#make

show the follow err:

ipc_wpa.c:38:22: error: wpa_ctrl.h: No such file or directory

Hi Jason,

The WLAN driver needs to be compiled with open source wpa_spplicant-05.7 and openssl-0.9.8e.

Please follow instructions given in "WL1271 Linux SDK Build Environment Instructions.pdf" to build the packages

and execute commands given in Chapter-4 of the same.

The wpa_supplicant and openssl must be downloaded into //common/wireless_src/.

Hope that help.

Thanks,

Sinoj

compiled correctly~

Now i want  this drvier  support WL2151,but I found that there is no Fw1251r1c.bin firmware release,

how can i do ? in some of Makfiles  FW ?= 1273，but WL1251 is not supported .

Tanks for you help.

Jason,

This platform is designed to work with the WL1271 device, and does not include software support for WL1251.

Matt

Tanks ,which drvier support wl1251-wg7210.

Jason,

As we are only supporting WL1271 driver on this platform, I would advise that you could either :

1. work directly with Jorjin for WL1251 support using their WG7210 module, or
2. consider moving to WL1271

Matt

Would love to see WL1271 support rolled into the Windows CE BSP..... that is unless part availability its going to be restricted to only large OEMs.

Why even bother designing a module for the EVM if that is going to be the case.

David,

WL1271 support in WinCE is coming mid-year; the work is already well underway now.

The intent is that both the Linux & WinCE OMAP35x+WL1271 platforms can be adopted by a wide range of customers, big or small.
