WL1801 Config file is not correct

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: WL1801

Hi team,

I am using the WL1801 for WIFI support. I am using the driver for Linux kernel version 3.14 and the driver is compiled and runs correctly.

During SDIO transfers between our driver and the chip, the chip seems to stop responding after awhile but always on the same SDIO request. I believe that the configuration file that is being sent to the chip during initialization is not correct.

Can you provide the chip firmware and the configuration tool which allows me to generate the chip configuration file to match the firmware for this Linux kernel version 3.14?

Currently I can't use the script found on the wiki for generating the config file because my kernel will not allow the script to complete.

Thanks for the help!

Nick , You may clone wl8 utils git : git.ti.com/.../18xx-ti-utils
configure-device.sh is used to create configuration bin file .

Hi Saurab,

What tag release should we checkout to generate a configuration bin file that will work with the driver released with the mainline kernel 3.14 ?

Thanks,
Frank

hi, 3.14 is old kernel - still try latest tag R8.7 . As far as ti-utils is concerned i don't think kernel version should matter . it's mostly modules that need to be backported.
thanks, saurabh
