Hi Liviu,

Thanks for the quick reply.
I am using Yocto YP Core - Dizzy 1.7, the latest.
I could of had specified a bit better what I've done but I was a bit too eager in my last email.
I started by changing these settings compared to the standard Beaglebone kernel:

+CONFIG_WL_TI=y
+# CONFIG_WL1251 is not set
+# CONFIG_WL12XX is not set
+CONFIG_WL18XX=m
+CONFIG_WLCORE=m
+# CONFIG_WLCORE_SPI is not set
+CONFIG_WLCORE_SDIO=m
+CONFIG_WILINK_PLATFORM_DATA=y

I got the modules in my /build/tmp/deploy/images/beaglebone
modules-beaglebone.tgz

When I started my beaglebone I tried lsmod but couldn't see the them so I tried to modprobe them in but failed.

I'm not sitting at my board now so unfortunately I can't say exactly what the error was but when I googled I saw somebody that also needed the compat module. So I figured I could add it to my image.

Well anyway, so if I continue on my first track, fixing the kernel config to include WL18xx, do you have a recommendation on what I could do next?

Again, thanks,
BR

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.
