WL1831MOD: Are there any wireless tools for the Linux operating system?

Dears

We need Linux Version is 4.9.37.

Thanks

Hi ,

TI wireless tools only runs on windows OS. Following link has details on how to run scripts to start AP role , Station role etc:

You may use in-tree wl8 kernel drivers for kernel 4.9.x . As for any SoC , your dts file should have right configurations . example of wl18xxMOD dts file :

Hi Saurabh,

I got an error message as following when using the "./build_wl18xx.sh init  " command to download the source(the reference link is:https://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/WL18xx_System_Build_Scripts):

python-m2crypto is missing
Please use 'sudo apt-get install python-m2crypto'
Do you want to install it now [y/n] ? (requires sudo) y  ===>here still can't apt-get install this module successfully

So, how can I get the python-m2crypto module?

Hi ,

It is difficult to comment on it since Linux distributions can have different ways to install modules . This is out of scope of our driver support.   Normally apt-get is sufficient to install such modules.

Thanks

Hi Saurabh,

when setting CROSS_COMPILE to aarch64-himix100-linux- and ARCH to arm64 int the setup-env file, and then start to build using " ./build_wl18xx.sh" command, there is an error says "configure: error: /bin/sh build-aux/config.sub arm64 failed". Can we use arm64 to compile them? The following is the print out message:

Hi Saurabh,

https://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/WL18xx_System_Build_Scripts#Step_3:_Download_the_source

We suspect we did not download the whole code at Step 3. But my PC can not install the Linux system to download it. Can you kindly help download and send it to me via email? My email Address is Elsa.duan@arrow.com

We have pending here for a long time, so urgent to solve this problem. Thanks a lot for your strong support.

Hi ,

"init" is one time process and will download all sources . It clones multiple repos on local machine .  We are not able to zip the source and email .

Thanks

Saurabh
