[edit] Panda Board MAC80211 Connectivity
[edit] Summary
Please refer to the following mac80211 connectivity page for more detailed information (Since mac80211 connectivity is common for 127x and 128x connectivity chips):
* mac80211 based open source architecture
[edit] In addition to the above the specific information for Panda
Patches required to add WLAN support on the Panda Board (Linux Kernel version <= 2.6.38)
- Patch series required to enable WLAN on Panda are at Panda: Support for WLAN on WL127x
- Make sure you have the dependent patches for WLAN clock and HWMOD changes for MMC.
- For original patches (of adoptation for HSMMC refer to): OMAP: HSMMC: HWMOD adaptation

[edit] Hardware information
[edit] Software:
[edit] Clone and build the ubuntu kernel:
git clone git://dev.omapzoom.org/pub/scm/integration/kernel-ubuntu.git cd kernel-ubuntu git checkout -b ti-ubuntu-3.4-1483 origin/ti-ubuntu-3.4-1483 git reset --hard ti-ubuntu-3.4-1483.5 cp debian.ti-omap4/config/config.common.ubuntu .config make ARCH=arm uImage export KERNEL_DIR=`pwd` (Needed to build wl12xx driver)
[edit] Ti-Utils git tree:
git clone git://github.com/TI-OpenLink/ti-utils.git cd ti-utils git checkout -b ics origin/ics git reset --hard ol_R5.00.18
Firmware files required for WL12xx on Panda: cd ti-utils/hw/firmware Copy the following files:
wl127x-fw-4-sr.bin -----> Firmware for Single Role wl127x-fw-4-plt.bin -----> Firmware for Calibration wl127x-fw-4-mr.bin -----> Firmware for Multi Role
NVS file for Calibration:
cd ti-utils/
hw/ini_files/127x/TQS_S_2.6.ini is needed to Calibrate the wl12xx on Panda.
[edit] WL12XX driver:
[edit] Git trees required
wl12xx git tree:
git clone git://github.com/TI-OpenLink/wl12xx.git cd wl12xx git checkout -b r5_3.2 origin/r5_3.2 git reset --hard ol_R5.00.18 export GIT_TREE=`pwd` (Needed to build wl12xx driver)
compat git tree:
git clone git://github.com/mcgrof/compat.git cd compat git checkout -b linux-3.4.y origin/linux-3.4.y export GIT_COMPAT_TREE=`pwd` (Needed to build wl12xx driver)

[edit] To generate the wl12xx driver:
cd compat-wireless export ARCH=arm sh ./scripts/admin-refresh.sh
expected output:
Getting TI drivers version...
TI drivers version: ol_R5.00.18
