[PATCH 00/36] wcn36xx: Add support for WCN3680 802.11ac

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This series adds support for the 802.11ac data-rates available on the WCN3680.

WCN3680:
- Has one spatial stream
- MCS9 80Mhz 400ns guard interval
- 433.3 Mbps
- RX STBC
- LDPC (host dependant)
- MU-MIMO (host dependant)
- Tx beamformee (host dependant)

Declared data-rates are around 200 Mbps

The wcn3680 uses the same parameter passing mechanism as earlier versions
3620 and 3660 however it also supports extended VHT parameters for STA and
BSS setup.

I've taken the downstream firmware config almost as-is in terms of
parameters send over the SMD bus to the target with the caveat of switching
off power-save offload.

I do have some housekeeping patches in the middle of this series where I
functionally decompose some of the existing code, which in my opinion
needed some attention before adding any more code to it.

Lastly, I've tested on wcn3680 and wcn3620, since the extended VHT
parameters only apply to wcn3680 the code-paths for wcn3620 should be the
same for wcn3660.
