OMAP Wireless Connectivity OpenSource Compat Wireless Build

Before starting

Before starting you need to complete the following steps:

• Setup build environment variables <Setting build environment>
• Make sure that you have the target linux kernel source extracted to your PC and built locally.

Download and Build the TI compat-wireless package

• Download the compat-wireless package from R3M1RC2 Compat wireless location
• Extract the zip file to your PC
• Change to the compat-wireless-2.6 source directory
• Configure the build for the wl12xx family:

./scripts/driver-select wl12xx

you have a kernel you do not have installed but yet want to build the compat-wireless-2.6 drivers for it you can use this syntax:

• export the following variables:

KLIB: point to the location of your root file system (NFS_ROOT). See Setting build environment section
KLIB_BUILD: points to the location of your linux kernel source
for example:

export KLIB_BUILD=~/oe/arago-tmp/work/am37x-evm-arago-linux-gnueabi/linux-omap3-2.6.37-psp04.02.00.07.sdk-r97/git/
export KLIB=${NFS_ROOT}

• Ensure that configuration of the kernel the wl12xx driver is compiled with contains the following switches.
• Now build the compat-wireless package and install it to your root file system (pointed by NFS_ROOT)

make
make install-modules

You should now have all the relevant modules installed in your root file system under ${NFS_ROOT}/lib/modules/<kernel version>/updates/...
For more details regarding the consepts of compat-wireless please refer to the linux wireless home page
