If you could send me the schematics, I could comment on it. There were a couple of hardware related problems that prevented the device from booting up. Here are some of the key things to watch out for: a. You need a slow clock (SYS 32K signal from the omap processor) to the wlan module b. You need to ensure that you have a 26Mhz TXCO signal coming in for the fast clock. This would be controlled by a fixed voltage regulator. The wlan module asserts a WL_CLK_REQ signal high, which is a signal sent to the LDO to turn on the 26MHz TXCO. c. You need to probe MMC2 CLK signals to ensure that a 24MHz signal is being generated at the output, when the MMC2 controller is initialized. d. You need to update the mux settings to ensure that the MMC2 CMD, CLK, DAT 0 to DAT3, plus GPIO pins for WLAN_EN and WLAN_IRQ are muxed correctly. This should take care of it. The SDIO detection problems occured because the 26MHZ TXCO was not being turn on. You should also be aware of the TI WL1271 power up sequence, which is 10ms pulse high, 64us low, and then asserted high for atleast 64ms. This is taken care of in the driver code. Also use the linux-2.6.37-rc6 kernel patch, and apply the patch to read the MAC address from the nvs file. Also put the firmware and nvs file in /lib/firmware folder, and configure wpa_supplicant.conf to connect to a secured access point.
