Forcing WL18xx to use a specific antenna

Hi Jacob,

You can check the open source implementation for possible "ht.mode" values.
Please see below:

enum wl18xx_ht_mode {
/* Default - use MIMO, fallback to SISO20 */
HT_MODE_DEFAULT = 0,

/* Wide - use SISO40 */
HT_MODE_WIDE = 1,

/* Use SISO20 */
HT_MODE_SISO20 = 2,
};

Regarding "phy.spare0", as mentioned in the ini file, this is meant for TI internal usage.

Hi Joseph, thanks for your answer.

How are we supposed to do assembly validation of the antennas? It seems like you both have an approach how to do it, the tools ready, and even some (incomplete) instructions.

It would be really helpful if you can provide a technique to validate the antenna assembly.

Thanks.

Joseph, any suggestions on how to do antenna assembly validation?

Thanks.

Hi,

I believe you can use:

wl18xx.phy.spare0=0x80 for (BG1) &
wl18xx.phy.spare0=0x80 for (BG2)

as is mentioned in the wiki page.

But anyway, I am checking internally if the information is correct.
Will get back to you on this.

Gigi Joseph.

Hi Joseph, any updates on this?

Hi Jacob,

Sorry, I didn't get back to you on this earlier...
The information above is correct.

Hi

Thanks. What value gives what antenna? You wrote 0x80 as value for both antennas.

Best regards, Jacob

Thanks Joseph!
