Hi, We have a custom iMX53 based platform running Android Gingerbread, Linux kernel 2.6.35 with a TiWi-BLE Wlan/Bluetooth device using the SDIO interface for WLAN. This uses a TI WL1271 WLAN device. We are using a Freescale BSP and the Wl12xx NLCP driver from the TI website. I'm using a specific function for power on/off operations as opposed to using a fixed voltage regulator. This sets and clears the WL_EN signal on the device. I get the following problem when I try and bring up the interface, either through the Android GUI or manually (as shown below) - I get timeouts on the SDIO interface. # insmod

---[ end trace d11e244f1c07d7d1 ]--- wl1271_sdio mmc1:0001:2: sdio write failed (-110) wl12xx: ERROR firmware boot failed despite 3 retries error: SIOCSIFFLAGS (Invalid argument) I removed the manipulation of the WL_EN signal in the power control function and the WL_EN was simply set at the beginning. The interface came up correctly the first time. When the WL_EN power manipulation is put back we get the problem shown above. It looks like this is caused by a second reset of the device due to WL_EN toggling that occurs when the interface is enabled/disabled. It appears that after this reset the WL1271 device is not in a correct state, the WL_EN signal is low (off) or the SDIO interface not in the correct state. I've verified that the WL_EN signal is high (on) when the interface is turned on so I don't think this is the issue. Can anyone suggest what could be happening due to the second reset or a way to debug the problem further?
