WL1835MODCOM8B: AM335x Evaluation Module and WL1835MODCOM8B Test Mode

As, such channel selection on Linux can be done from command line using the "iwconfig" tool..
ex:
iwconfig wlan0 freq 2.422G
or
iwconfig wlan0 channel 3

Thanks

Hi!

Is it correct? Or should do something else?

Hi,
You will need to put WiLink8 in debug test mode to test RF on specific channels . Please consult : processors.wiki.ti.com/.../WL18xx_TX_Testing

Hi,

I followed procedures on processors.wiki.ti.com/.../WL18xx_TX_Testing and please have a look below picture.

I was read "If you don't have that configured, be sure to copy over your kernel and reinstall all modules.". So, how to perform this instruction? Please attach file/link would be required.

Thank You.

Hi,
As per the snapshot you shared , seems like "NL80211_TESTMODE" is defined in your kernel - pls confirm ?
If yes, you need to bring wlan0 interface down and run "calibrator wlan0 plt power_mode on" as defined in the wiki,

Thanks
Saurabh

Thanks for your respond.

"As per the snapshot you shared , seems like "NL80211_TESTMODE" is defined in your kernel - pls confirm?" how to check about this? I just followed information on http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/WL18xx_TX_Testing and found the result as below picture. Could you please tell me procedures from the beginning? Or if you have files or link please kindly attached, because i believed if missed something.

Thank You.

 

Hi,
Looking at above snapshots, seems like NL80211_TESTMODE is not defined in your kernel . Make sure it is set to 'y' in your kernel configuration file , then recompile kernel and kernel modules

Thanks
Saurabh

Hi!

Could you please describe how to recompiling kernel and kernel module?

Thanks

Hi!

I found this software and possible or not if we conduct the test through this software? Because it looks not so complicated. Pls kindly advise the simplest ways to conduct this test.

Thanks

Hi,
Yes you can use RTTT for PLT commands. You will need access to RS232 , GND pins on WL18xxMOD. This software runs on Windows machine and user can access WL18xxMOD directly without an external Host. For more details pls consult RTTT document : C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\Wireless Tools\Docs
As per question regarding kernel compilation , you need to check which kernel def config is being used for your kernel build and then modify it . You may post question in processor forum in case you have questions regarding AM335x SDK : e2e.ti.com/.../791

Thanks
Saurabh

Hi!
Glad to hear if we can use RTTT Software to conduct this test. But, there are files that need to load, such as firmwire (.bin), (.ini) and (.dll). Where and how we could get theese files?
Thanks.
Dimas.
