Avnet WiLink 8 Adaptor on xillinux

Postby bobdxcool »

I was looking to install the wilink (http://microzed.org/product/wilink-8-adaptor) drivers on my microzed board running xillinux OS. I was going through the instructions on this page, http://microzed.org/sites/default/files ... G-v1_6.pdf where there seem to be drivers only available for Yocto. However, how I do I install these drivers on my exisiting ubuntu based xillinux OS ?

On this page, http://microzed.org/sites/default/files ... MOD-WILI...

On page 24 of this document and appendix C, they say to mount a FAT32 mount SD card and run this command, ./microzed-wilink8-ramdisk-SDcard.sh 7010 to copy files to FAT32 partition. But, I have already have xillnux running which already has a FAT32 partition and ext4 partition. So, now with files already on the FAT32 partition, can I run ./microzed-wilink8-ramdisk-SDcard.sh 7010 without affecting the xillinux files?

This module uses double PMOD. The modules use SDIO and UART interfaces.
Are the wireless drivers enabled on the xillunux kernel , or do I need to enable them ? Can you tell me where I should enable them if they are not enabled already ?

Hello,

The kernel configuration file can be obtained from /boot/config-3.12.0-xillinux-1.3 on Xillinux' file system. Or, alternatively, fetch /proc/config.gz, which contains the configuration of the kernel running (it should be the same on a running Xillinux machnine).

Regards,
Eli

Thank you for replying back. In the config file, I found this line ,

#
# Texas Instruments WL128x FM driver (ST based)
#
CONFIG_RADIO_WL128X=m


Does this mean its enabled by default in your kernel ?
Because the wifi/bluetooth module I am using is from TI, and is numbered, WL1835MODCOM8B, and the document says WLAN and Bluetooth, BLE cores are software and hardware compatible with prior WL127x, WL128x and CC256x offerings, facilitating an easy migration to device.

So if the above kernel option (in quotes) enables the WL128x option, then I can use the wifi/bluetooth modules without any issues. I just have to add a few entries in the device tree for the PMOD ,SDIO and UART0. Right ?
