Tool/software: Linux
Hey everyone. I am currently working on deploying Android 8.0.0 onto a board with iMX7 processor and WL18xx. I have included in my Android project (AOSP) the vendor kernel that takes care of things like device trees. I've got Android flashed but WiFi is not enabled. I think the piece i am missing is the process described in this wiki doc, specifically this section: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/WL18xx_First_Time_Getting_Started_Guide_(IMX6)#Integration_of_the_wl18xx_related_packages_into_the_imx_android_repo . This is because right now, Android complains that "wlan0" is undefined, which I believe happens in the repos cloned in those steps.
My main question is, would anyone at TI recommend for or against running through the steps listed for the iMX6 and Lollipop on my iMX7 with Oreo? Not sure the risks or if it would be worth trying. Are there new guidelines for setting up the WL18xx modules with Android 8.0.0 and iMX7? Otherwise, is there any way to do what I'm trying to do? Feedback is appreciated!
Thanks!
