Hi TI Developers, I am still waiting for reply from TI on whether our hardware can run successfully run the ol_R5.SP3.05 package or not. We spend huge amount of time in testing the package. We are seeing the issue with the firmware binaries only. We don't have an any control on the firmware binaries and it a black box to us. If the firmware is not supported on the older hardware, please apply a patch to the driver which will restrict running the new drivers on the older hardware. It will also help to avoid people spending time on the new drivers with old hardware. We wanted to make crucial decision for our Network Server product features based on the outcome of testing ol_R5.SP3.05 package which we couldn't achieve. This has disappointed us a lot Thanks & Regards, Girish -----Original Message----- From: Girish Bn Sent: Friday, January 04, 2013 9:11 AM To: 'Zigman, Eran'; 'Coelho, Luciano' Cc: 'linux-wireless@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: RE: wl12xx (ol_R5.SP3.05) drivers + firmware (ol_R5.SP3.05) doesn't work on WL1271 (HW PG 2.0) Hi, Do you have any updates on the testing at your side?

I am not sure if the R5.SP3 driver/firmware would have any limitations of old version PG2.0. We will run the exact scenarios that you mentioned for WL6 (PG3.x) and update. Can you please shed some light on this activity, customer...

This feature handles a particular case like if you started the STA on Channel X and also you will start AP (P2P Group Owner) on the same channel (Channel X). Now if you change the channel of Station to Channel(Y), the driver automatically will take care of restarting the AP(P2P GO) on the same channel(Channel Y). > > We are facing issue with this package and the drivers won't work properly for us. > The major issues seen with this package are 1.

But when we run DHCP client on wlan0 to get the IP address from the Access Point, the driver throws "wl12xx: Beacon loss detected" message and the connection breaks and the driver gets into SCAN mode and will try to reconnect to the Access Point. Eventually we don't receive the IP address from the Access Point. > 2. I was able to start the Station and AP role on the same channel. But the after stating the AP role, station role will be disconnected automatically and I won't be able to do scan and connection on STA. > 3. Also cannot connect to my System which is acting as P2P Group Owner(AP) from any other Wi-Fi device like iPhone/Laptop or any other. The issue is seen when System is set to P2P GO either using Single Role firmware only or using Multi-role firmware. > > We suspect the issue with the above versions of (ol_R5.SP3.05) wl127x > firmware and surprisingly all the above three issues are NOT seen when > I use the below firmware versions (which is quite old) Single Role > (SR): Rev 6.3.7.0.105 > Multi-Role(MR): Rev 6.5.5.0.21 > > > The firmware versions taken from > https://github.com/TI-OpenLink/ti-utils and branch r5_jb and tag > ol_R5.SP3.05 are Single Role (SR): Rev 6.3.10.0.132 Multi-Role (MR): > Rev 6.5.7.0.42 > > Can you let us know whether Wl1271 hw PG Ver 2.0 can run the ol_R5.SP3.05 firmware successfully or any hardware limitations with Wl1271? > Any suggestions on the above issues will be greatly helpful > > > Thanks & Regards, > Girish > L&T IES, > KIADB Industrial Area, > Hebbal-Hootagalli, Mysore - 570 018 > Telephone : DID+91-821-2405552 > Mobile: +91-9741206402 > E-mail ID :Girish.BN@xxxxxxxxxx > www.lnties.com > > This mail is classified as : > ( ) L&T IES Proprietary > ( ) L&T IES Confidential > (X) L&T IES Internal Use > ( ) L&T IES General Business > > Larsen & Toubro Limited > > www.larsentoubro.com > > This Email may contain confidential or privileged information for the intended recipient (s).
