Dears,

 

  I wonder how to get Atheros AR9280 reference design so that I can
contribute to the development of ath9k driver.

[ath9k-devel] Atheros Ar9280 detailed reference design

[Mohammed Shafi]

Hi,

those are confidential and proprietary of the company. i think those
will be provided to people who to developers/contractors/interns who
should have signed NDA.
anyway ath9k is lot lot more than open compared to all other drivers.
you can understand lots of HAL code with logic alone. debugging
functionality is
completely possible looking at the source code alone with out any reference.
looking at mac80211 is another good thing, where HAL knowledge is not
much needed.

thanks,
shafi

Dear Mohammed,

  Thanks for your response. Can I modify Ath9k to do some modifications on
the protocol, f.e., I want to change the channel access to be time based
(TDMA) to allow for multiple Access Points to cooperate?

Regards,
Abdel-Latif

not sure we have control over things like TDMA in the driver.
