* [Buildroot] [PATCH] package: add support for the wf111 WiFi driver and its utilities @ 2015-01-28 13:54 Antoine Tenart 2015-01-28 15:17 ` Thomas Petazzoni 0 siblings, 1 reply; 3+ messages in thread From: Antoine Tenart @ 2015-01-28 13:54 UTC (permalink / raw) To: buildroot Adds support for the BlueGiga WF111 WiFi driver and the binary utilities distributed alongside the driver. An account is required to download the sources from the BlueGiga website, which can be created freely. The driver is available for armv5, arvmv7a and i386. It is not possible to automatically retrieve the sources, because of the required user account needed on the BlueGiga website, an option is added to let the Buildroot user specify the directory were the driver's tarball was downloaded. Finally, two options must be selected in the Linux kernel configuration: CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT and CONFIG_WEXT_PRIV.

Please explain that those options are blind options, so they cannot be enabled by a change in linux/linux.mk. And maybe you should explain how the user is supposed to enable such blind options: either patch the kernel to make them non-blind, or enable some other random WiFi driver that selects them. > diff --git a/package/wf111/Config.in b/package/wf111/Config.in > new file mode 100644 > index 000000000000..4806a6958476 > --- /dev/null > +++ b/package/wf111/Config.in > @@ -0,0 +1,25 @@ > +config BR2_PACKAGE_WF111 > + bool "wf111" > + depends on BR2_LINUX_KERNEL > + depends on BR2_ARM_CPU_ARMV5 || BR2_ARM_CPU_ARMV7A || BR2_i386 > + # Binary tools are distributed alongside the driver, and are > + # dynamically linked against the glibc. > + depends on BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC > + help > + BlueGiga WF111 WiFi driver and utilities. > + > + Warning: CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT and CONFIG_WEXT_PRIV must be > + selected in the Linux kernel configuration. See above: please give more details about this.

We would more typically use: > > cp -dpfr $(@D)/output/* $(TARGET_DIR) Utility binaries, the firmware and the kernel module, all in theirs respective directories. `cp -dpfr` should be fine, I'll update. I'll also fix all the typos, and I'll add a check to be sure BR2_PACKAGE_WF111_TARBALL_PATH is correctly filled. Thanks!
