WL1837MOD: WL1837MOD chip (which uses default configuration i.e. wl18xx.phy.spare0 = 0x08) stops working on some devices after some time

Preethy Sethuraman
Prodigy 80 points
Part Number: WL1837MOD

We use WLMOD1837 chip in our product with iMx6.
We observe that the chip (which uses default configuration i.e. wl18xx.phy.spare0 = 0x08) stops working on some devices after some time

We did continous emission Tx test on each ANT port (separately) and it works.
We tried forcing the chip to connect to only one port by putting wl18xx.phy.spare0 = 0x80(for ANT1). At this point chip scans and we have no issue. Also trying to connect with wl18xx.phy.spare0 = 0x00(for ANT 2) also works and we are able to scan without any problem.
The chip is not dead as the firmware loads without any issue and there is no error in the logs.
Our configuration is MIMO 2.4GHz and we use 5GHz- antenna diversity (see config dump attached)
This looks like a harware issue, as it occurs only in some devices where the chip stops to scan at some point, while in other devices, it works.
When the chip stops working, we cannot scan for networks via iw wlan0 scan (we get empty response) and when we put the chip in AP mode, the AP software is launched correctly, but we can't see the Wifi SSID from a PC
Can you let us know how to fix the issue?

    Hi , 

    Your wlconf dump seems ok . We haven't seen this issue at our end . Can you pls share o/p of commands 'ap_start.sh' and 'iw wlan1 info' ?

    Thanks

    Hi Saurabh,

    Given below is the output of 'iw wlan0 info command'.

    ```

    root@paypad:/ # root@paypad:/ # ifconfig wlan0 up
    [ 282.455170] wlcore: PHY firmware version: Rev 8.2.0.0.232
    [ 282.700880] wlcore: firmware booted (Rev 8.9.0.0.48)
    root@paypad:/ # iw wlan0 scan
    root@paypad:/ # iw wlan0 info
    Interface wlan0

    addr 50:33:8b:65:3d:fc
    type managed
    wiphy 0
    root@paypad:/ #

    ```

    We do not have ap_start script and so we launched 'hostapd -d -e /data/misc/wifi/entropy.bin /data/misc/wifi/hostapd.conf' command in debug mode that does the same action as the script. The output of the command is provided below. Please note that the AP mode was launched correctly, but still we dont see it in the list of access points available, when we scan with another Wi-Fi device.

    Hi Saurabh,

    Do you have any idea why we are experiencing this issue on some of our devices?

    Might it be related to a production detect?

    In our case, all the chips having this defect come from the following batch T600347ZC6 and batch date code 1723

    Thanks for your help,

    Jean-Paul

    Hi Jean-Paul,

    - Does rebooting the board fix the issue ?

    - if you unload / re-load wl8 kernel modules , does it fix the issue. There are scripts to do that in /usr/share/wl18xx

    Thanks

    Saurabh

    Hi Saurabh,

    Rebooting the device and reloading the kernel modules does not help. As said, only when forcing the chip to use only one antenna, by setting wl18xx.phy.spare0 = 0x80(for ANT1) or wl18xx.phy.spare0 = 0x00(for ANT 2)  in the wl18xx-conf.bin that we are able to scan and connect to Wifi Networks, as well as having the chip working as Wifi Access point.

    Regards,

    Jean-Paul

    Hi Jean-Paul ,

    - spare0 default value is 0x8 , which selects ANT1.  

    - ANT1 will be selected always unless for MIMO operations on 2.4 GHz band or antenna diversity on 5 GHz,

    - Are you saying when you set spare0 to 0x8 , device works ok but then stops scanning ? and this issue doesn't go away after rebooting the board ? so it doesn't scan permanently ? 

    - we suggest you don't change  spare0 value  for your testing . keep it set to 0x8

    - for MIMO operation make sure ht.mode is set to 0 : http://www.ti.com/lit/an/swra489/swra489.pdf

    Hi Saurabh,

    We use default configuration for all our products, spare0 = 0x08 and ht.mode = 0x0 (as shown below and in the dump file we shared with you initially)

    With this default configuration, the faulty devices cannot scan at all (permanent issue) and when putting them in AP mode, we don't see them from another device or PC.

    Excerpt of our default configuration below

    wl18xx.ht.mode = 0x00
wl18xx.phy.phy_standalone = 0x00
wl18xx.phy.spare0 = 0x08
wl18xx.phy.enable_clpc = 0x00
wl18xx.phy.enable_tx_low_pwr_on_siso_rdl = 0x00
wl18xx.phy.auto_detect = 0x00
wl18xx.phy.dedicated_fem = 0x00
wl18xx.phy.low_band_component = 0x02
wl18xx.phy.low_band_component_type = 0x05
wl18xx.phy.high_band_component = 0x01
wl18xx.phy.high_band_component_type = 0x0a
wl18xx.phy.number_of_assembled_ant2_4 = 0x02
wl18xx.phy.number_of_assembled_ant5 = 0x02

    When testing the faulty devices, we successfully validated that their radio subsystem are working by

    1) doing continuous TX emission test on each antenna individually 

    2) doing continuous RX emission test on each antenna individually

    Based on these results, we try to force spare0 either to wl18xx.phy.spare0 = 0x80(for ANT1) or wl18xx.phy.spare0 = 0x00(for ANT 2)  on these faulty devices and we observed that we can scan for networks and can, as well, use those devices successfully as Access points.

    That's why we are asking you why the default configuration does not work for these devices and what could be the problem?

    Regards,

    Jean-Paul

    Hi  Jean-Paul,

    I just noticed that you are using a very old version of wl8 firmware . can you update to latest firmware 8.9.0.0.79 and re-test ?

    Hi,

    I clicked on ‘This did not resolve my issue’ in the mail sent to me, but I see that the issue is marked resolved in your website by error. Please reopen this issue.

     

    We have not resolved it yet.
