I've attached some very minimal patches that enable Processor SDK Linux to run on the BBGW. The Wi-Fi operates ok, i.e. I can connect to AP and transfer files, but I cannot enter the test mode.
Some other threads have had useful data points:

So from this thread I rebuilt my kernel with CONFIG_NL80211_TESTMODE=y and can confirm at the command line:
root@am335x-evm:/usr/share/wl18xx# zcat /proc/config.gz | grep NL80211_TESTMODE
CONFIG_NL80211_TESTMODE=y
I was still getting the error "Operation not supported (-95)" at this point, until I did a rmmod of a bunch of modules (wlcore_sdio, wl18xx, wl12xx, wlcore, mac80211, cfg80211, compat). At that point the error changed:
root@am335x-evm:/usr/share/wl18xx# calibrator wlan0 plt power_mode on
nl80211 not found.
I did "killall" for hostapd and wpa_supplicant, but neither was running in the first place.
What else am I missing?
