[RFC PATCH] mwifiex: Select firmware based on strapping

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

 



From: Andrejs Cainikovs <andrejs.cainikovs@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Some WiFi/Bluetooth modules might have different host connection
options, allowing to either use SDIO for both WiFi and Bluetooth,
or SDIO for WiFi and UART for Bluetooth. It is possible to detect
whether a module has SDIO-SDIO or SDIO-UART connection by reading
its host strap register.

This change introduces a way to automatically select appropriate
firmware depending of the connection method, and removes a need
of symlinking or overwriting the original firmware file with a
required one.

Hi all,

Current mwifiex_sdio implementation does not have strapping detection, which
means there's no way system will automatically detect which firmware needs to
be picked depending of the strapping. SD8997, in particular, can be strapped
for sdiosdio (Wi-Fi over SDIO, Bluetooth over SDIO) or sdiouart (Wi-Fi over
SDIO, Bluetooth over UART). What we do now - simply replace the
original sdiosdio firmware file with the one supplied by NXP [1] for sdiouart.

Of course, this is not clean, and by submitting this patch I would like to
receive your comments regarding how it would be better to implement the
strapping detection.
