Hello Kalle,

Starting with kernel-3.12, the wl18xx drivers are in-tree, so there is no need any more for a yocto/oe layer to support them. You just need to activate the required kernel configs in order to have them built.

Google a little for CONFIG_WL18XX and its dependencies.

Hi all,

I'm new to this list, and new to Yocto.
I am about use the TI WL18xx wifi together with Beaglebone. I've seen that the older WL12xx drivers are present.
I included the
meta-openembedded/meta-oe/recipes-kernel/compat-wireless
layer/recipe but compat-wireless fails when compiling (maybe a question something for the meta-oe mailing list)

I have two questions:
1. Is there ongoing work to support the WL18xx drivers in a yocto/oe layer? (if yes, when will they be available?)
2. Should this work be done in meta-ti or the meta-oe/compat-wireless?

Thanks for your time.
