Hi Ashish,

Since kernel 4.1 the WL18xx drivers are mainline, so you just need to enable them in defconfig

Hi lain,

We are presently at this release:

git.freescale.com/.../

We need to compile a IMXQUAD image with WLOCORE upgraded to 4.1.15 kernel, so that wilink8 WL1831MOD chip comes up successfully with IMXQUAD.

Can you please provide detailed steps required or a web link for the same.

Thanks

Hi Ashish,

It should just be a case of adding to the defconfig file you are using for your kernel. Make sure you have

CONFIG_WL_TI=y
CONFIG_WL18XX=m
CONFIG_WLCORE_SDIO=m

and one security option that is needed for building wl18xx.ko

CONFIG_CRYPTO_CCM=y

Does mainline contain 802.11s/Mesh support yet?
