dBm negative vs positive?

Kaitlyn McKee

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: WL1837

I have been working the with WL1837 linux version of the wifi radio for a little over a week now and I cannot for the life of me get the radio to output the power it should be (around 10 dBm). One thing that is confusing is that the datasheet lists the limiting value at 10 dbM.. but the spectrum analyzer reads negative numbers (-65 is pretty much the norm).

I have been using these commands:

calibrator wlan0 plt power_mode on

calibrator wlan0 wl18xx_plt tune_channel 48 1 1

calibrator wlan0 wl18xx_plt set_tx_power 20,000 0 1 48 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0

calibrator wlan0 wl18xx_plt start_tx 500 4 500 0 0 1 0 0 #chip MAC #my MAC 0

The 20,000 in the first field of the set_tx_power should set the output power to 20 dbM.. but again the average is -65.

Suggestions?

Hi,

This maybe some configuration issue (maybe connected the wrong antenna or something like that).
Please refer to: processors.wiki.ti.com/.../WL18xx_TX_Testing - start with CW.

I still have not been able to get it working. I plugged each antenna port directly into the spectrum analyzer and one antenna read ~ -40 dBm while the other read ~ -5 dBm. Those were both measured with a 10 dBm attenuator, so it's more like -30 dBm and +5 dBm. This happened using either mode in set_atenna_diversity-5G and also using "1" for antenna parameter in set_tx_power (using a 2 yielded virtually no output).

Hi,

Can you share the full list of commands that you are running including the full boot logs?

Hi,

This is a really weird log! There are no logs regarding the wlcore or wl18xx driver/firmware version or wlan0 being up or anything.
Are you able to operate WiFi normally?

Can you give me the result of :

1. lsmod
2. ifconfig -a
3. ifconfig wlan0 up
4. iw wlan0 scan

Regards,
Gigi Joseph.

Hi,

Looks like WiFi is functional.
How have you connected to the power meter? Are you running the "configure-device.sh" script?

Regards,
Gigi Joseph.

I'm working on that right now. I've written it... I'm just trying to figure out how to run it.

I'm running the configure-device.sh script from git.ti.com/.../configure-device.sh with a few minor modifications. After I run the script however, I can't run iw or plt commands. I think it's a problem with getting the "devname" because I can't think of anything else. Any thoughts?

Hi,

What modification? What is the error you get when you run the "iw" command? Can you paste the full boot logs?

Regards,
Gigi Joseph.

Commands that use the netdev ('dev') can also be given the
'wdev' instead to identify the device.

You can omit the 'phy' or 'dev' if the identification is unique,
e.g. "iw wlan0 info" or "iw phy0 info". (Don't when scripting.)

Do NOT screenscrape this tool, we don't consider its output stable.

It seems to me that it's not recognizing the command?

Hi,

Can you please clarify the below:

(1) Host Platform
(2) wl18xx release version.
(3) How did you build the drivers?

Regards,
Gigi Joseph.

I don't actually know the answer to any of those. Do you know how I could find out? Someone at work loaded the linux driver onto an SD card, which is what's in the chip. I've never used linux before so I'm a little lost.

Hi,

I suspect something's wrong with the build...
To know the driver/firmware versions, please see: processors.wiki.ti.com/.../WL18xx_Driver_Debug

The build process is at: processors.wiki.ti.com/.../WiLink8_Linux_Getting_Started_Guide depending on your host platform.

Regards,
Gigi Joseph.
