Other Parts Discussed in Thread: WL1837MODCOM8I
Tool/software: Linux
Hi,
I'm using TI processor SDK 05.03.00.07 (kernel 4.14) for the AM437x. I have an AM437x GP EVM with a WL1837MODCOM8I board plugged into it. I'm trying to get wifi mesh up and running with no success.
I first tried it using the out of box pre-built binaries. It didn't work, got errors when I tried to execute the mesh_start.sh script. I read on the forums that we have to have CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH=1 set in our kernel config. I did that and rebuilt the kernel and modules.
After doing that I still get errors when I try to execute the mesh_start.sh script. I'm following the commands in section 5.1.2.3 of swaa166.
root@am437x-evm:/usr/share/wl18xx# sh mesh_start.sh
adding mesh0 interface

Here's my kernel version
root@am437x-evm:/usr/share/wl18xx# uname -a
Linux am437x-evm 4.14.79-ge669d52447 #1 PREEMPT Thu Jun 13 11:41:05 PDT 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux
root@am437x-evm:/usr/share/wl18xx#
BTW, I can bring up the wlan0 interface in STA mode. Just cant get the mesh working.
