| |
| This section describes detailed steps to add Marvell Wireless NIC (sdio/usb/pcie) |
| driver to OpenWrt build system. |
| |
| Add marvell driver (sdio/usb/pcie) to OpenWrt build system. |
| |
| 1. Go to the openwrt source code folder |
| 2. make menuconfig |
| choose x86 platform |
| other general openwrt configurations please refer to: |
| https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/build |
| 3. After make menuconfig |
| make sure that following configurations are set in .config |
| CONFIG_PACKAGE_hostapd=y |
| CONFIG_PACKAGE_hostapd-common=y |
| CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-cfg80211=y |
| 4. Go to the openwrt source code folder and Compile openwrt BSP |
| make V=s [-j[number]] |
| 5. After the first time compiling, openwrt/dl folder will be created |
| , related packages will be downloaded during compiling, so you need |
| network access as long as you need to compile openwrt BSP. |
| 6. Go to the openwrt source code folder: openwrt/dl/ |
| 7. Find compat-wireless-xxxx-xx-xx.tar.bz2, and uncompress the package |
| 8. Go to compat-wireless-xxxx-xx-xx/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/ |
| 9. Modify compat-wireless-xxxx-xx-xx/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/Kconfig |
| |
| source "drivers/net/wireless/marvell/libertas/Kconfig" |
| source "drivers/net/wireless/marvell/libertas_tf/Kconfig" |
| source "drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/Kconfig" |
| +source "drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mrvl-pcie/Kconfig" |
| +source "drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mrvl-sd8xxx/Kconfig" |
| +source "drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mrvl-usb/Kconfig" |
| |
| 10. Modify compat-wireless-xxxx-xx-xx/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/Makefile |
| |
| obj-$(CPTCFG_LIBERTAS_THINFIRM) += libertas_tf/ |
| obj-$(CPTCFG_MWIFIEX) += mwifiex/ |
| +obj-$(CPTCFG_MRVL_PCIE) += mrvl-pcie/ |
| +obj-$(CPTCFG_MRVL_SD8XXX) += mrvl-sd8xxx/ |
| +obj-$(CPTCFG_MRVL_USB) += mrvl-usb/ |
| |
| 11. Go to compat-wireless-xxxx-xx-xx/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/ |
| 12. mkdir (mrvl-pcie/mrvl-sd8xxx/mrvl-usb) |
| 13. copy (pcie/sdio/usb)/wlan_src/* to (mrvl-pcie/mrvl-sd8xxx/mrvl-usb) |
| 14. Go to mrvl-pcie/mrvl-sd8xxx/mrvl-usb |
| 15. Add new Kconfig: |
| mrvl-pcie/Kconfig |
| |
| +config MRVL_PCIE |
| + tristate "Marvell Wireless Driver for PCIE 8997" |
| + depends on m |
| + depends on PCI |
| + depends on CFG80211 |
| + depends on WIRELESS_EXT |
| + ---help--- |
| + This adds support for wireless adapters based on Marvell |
| + pcie 8997 chipsets with PCIe interface. |
| + |
| + If you choose to build it as a module, it will be called |
| + pcie8xxx. |
| |
| mrvl-sd8xxx/Kconfig |
| |
| +config MRVL_SD8XXX |
| + tristate "Marvell sdio 802.11n/802.11ac Wireless cards" |
| + depends on m |
| + depends on MMC |
| + depends on CFG80211 |
| + depends on WIRELESS_EXT |
| + ---help--- |
| + A driver for Marvell sdio 802.11n/802.11ac Wireless cards. |
| |
| mrvl-usb/Kconfig |
| |
| +config MRVL_USB |
| + tristate "Marvell sdio 802.11n/802.11ac Wireless cards" |
| + depends on m |
| + depends on USB |
| + depends on CFG80211 |
| + depends on WIRELESS_EXT |
| + ---help--- |
| + A driver for Marvell sdio 802.11n/802.11ac Wireless cards. |
| |
| 16. Open moal_main.h under (mrvl-pcie/mrvl-sd8xxx/mrvl-usb)/mlinux/ |
| |
| find #define COMPAT_VERSION_CODE KERNEL_VERSION_CODE(x, x, x) |
| modify (x, x, x) to the kernel version code of backports/compat-wireless package |
| |
| backported kernel version code could be found in |
| compat-wireless-xxxx-xx-xx/version as following |
| |
| 'BACKPORTED_KERNEL_VERSION="v4.4-rc5-1913-gc8fdf68"' |
| v4.4 means KERNEL_VERSION(4, 4, 0) |
| |
| 17. Modify (mrvl-pcie/mrvl-sd8xxx/mrvl-usb)/Makefile |
| |
| # OpenWrt support |
| -CONFIG_OPENWRT_SUPPORT=n |
| +CONFIG_OPENWRT_SUPPORT=y |
| |
| ... |
| |
| ############################################################################# |

| +ccflags-y += -I$(M)/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/(mrvl-pcie/mrvl-sd8xxx/mrvl-usb)/mlan/esa/common |
| endif |
| |
| 18. compress compat-wireless-xxxx-xx-xx to its original .tar.bz2 format |
| 19. Go to the openwrt source code folder: openwrt/package/kernel/mac80211/ |
| 20. Modify openwrt/package/kernel/mac80211/Makefile. |

| |
| OpenWrt configuration |
| 21. Go to OpenWrt srouce code folder |
| 22. Make menuconfig |
| |
| select one of the newly added marvell driver |
| │-> Kernel modules |
| │ -> Wireless Drivers |
| | ->mrvl-pcie |
| | ->mrvl-sd8xxx |
| | ->mrvl-usb |
| |
| 23. Other general configurations, please refer to the https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/build |
| 24. after menucofig make soure that following configurations are seletect |
| |
| CONFIG_PACKAGE_hostapd=y |
| CONFIG_PACKAGE_hostapd-common=y |
| CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-cfg80211=y |
| |
| Go to openwrt folder and re-build openwrt BSP |
| make V=s [-j[number]] |
| |
| After openwrt BSP is successfully build, kernel modules could be found |
| both in the build folder and the running OS once openwrt is boot up. |
| kernel modules will be written to u-disk while openwrt img is burned to u-disk. |
| |
| kernel modules in openwrt build dir: |
| openwrt/build_dir/target-x86_64_uClibc-0.9.33.2/linux-x86_64/compat-wireless-2016-01-10/ |
| ipkg-x86_64/kmod-mrvl-(usb/sd8xxx/pcie)/lib/modules/3.18.45/ |
| |
| kernel modules in openwrt running OS: |
| /lib/modules/xx.xx.xx/ |
| |
| 25. To support SDIO card in OpenWrt x86 platforma |
| Add following kernel configurations for OpenWrt |
| Go to OpenWrt source code foler |
| |
| make kernel_menuconfig |
| |
| Device Drivers----> |
| --- MMC/SD/SDIO card support |
| [ ] MMC debugging |

| < > ENE CB710 MMC/SD Interface support |
| < > VIA SD/MMC Card Reader Driver |
| < > Renesas USDHI6ROL0 SD/SDIO Host Controller support |
| |
| Compile OpenWrt using Make V=s, then write openwrt img to u-disk and boot up |
| |
| 26. Bring up marvell wireless NIC on OpenWrt system |
| |
| copy pcie/sdio/usb firmware to /lib/firmware/mrvl folder |
| On OpenWrt running OS |
| scp usrname@<target_pc ip address>:/path/firmware.bin /lib/firmware/mrvl |
| |
| Another way is to add firmware binary to OpenWrt source code |
| |
| 27. load marvell pcie/sdio/usb driver modules |
| |
| End with Marvell Wirelss NIC card bring up on OpenWrt |
| |
| ======================================================================================================= |
| If firmware is copied to OpenWrt via scp, following steps could be ignored. |
| 28. Add firmware binary in OpenWrt |
| Copy pcie/usb/sdio firmware to folder: |
| openwrt/build_dir/target-x86_64_uClibc-0.9.33.2/linux-firmware-52442afee9907bc32a058f22bb3295d040677c26/mrvl/ |
| 29. Go to penwrt/package/firmware/linux-firmware |
| Modify marvell.mk as following |
| |
| +Package/mrvl-pcie-firmware = $(call Package/firmware-default,Marvell PCIE8997 firmware) |
| +define Package/mrvl-pcie-firmware/install |
| + $(INSTALL_DIR) $(1)/lib/firmware/mrvl |
| + $(INSTALL_DATA) \ |
| + $(PKG_BUILD_DIR)/mrvl/pcieusb8997_combo_v4.bin \ |

| +define Package/mrvl-sd8xxx-firmware/install |
| + $(INSTALL_DIR) $(1)/lib/firmware/mrvl |
| + $(INSTALL_DATA) \ |
| + $(PKG_BUILD_DIR)/mrvl/sdsd8997_combo_v4.bin \ |
| + $(1)/lib/firmware/mrvl/ |
| +endef |
| +$(eval $(call BuildPackage,mrvl-sd8xxx-firmware)) |
| |
| +Package/mrvl-usb-firmware = $(call Package/firmware-default,Marvell SDIO8997 firmware) |
| +define Package/mrvl-usb-firmware/install |
| + $(INSTALL_DIR) $(1)/lib/firmware/mrvl |
| + $(INSTALL_DATA) \ |
| + $(PKG_BUILD_DIR)/mrvl/usbusb8997_combo_v4.bin \ |
| + $(1)/lib/firmware/mrvl/ |
| +endef |
| +$(eval $(call BuildPackage,mrvl-usb-firmware)) |
| |
| 30. re-modify openwrt/package/kernel/mac80211/Makefile |
| |
| for PCIE |
| + DEPENDS+= @PCI_SUPPORT +kmod-mac80211 +@DRIVER_11N_SUPPORT +mrvl-pcie-firmware |
| for SDIO |
| + DEPENDS+= +kmod-cfg80211 +kmod-lib80211 +kmod-mmc +@DRIVER_WEXT_SUPPORT +mrvl-sd8xxx-firmware |
| for USB |
| + DEPENDS+= @USB_SUPPORT +kmod-cfg80211 +kmod-usb-core +kmod-lib80211 +@DRIVER_WEXT_SUPPORT +mrvl-usb-firmware |
| 31. Go to step 25. |
| ======================================================================================================= |
| To support SDIO, USB and PCIE in one OpenWrt BSP |
| if no need to support multi bus types in one BSP, ignore the following steps |
| 32. Re-modify Modify openwrt/package/kernel/mac80211/Makefile. |
| for PCIE |
| + $(PKG_BUILD_DIR)/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mrvl-pcie/mlan-pcie.ko \ |
| for SDIO |
| + $(PKG_BUILD_DIR)/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mrvl-sd8xxx/mlan-sdio.ko \ |
| for USB |
| + $(PKG_BUILD_DIR)/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mrvl-usb/mlan-usb.ko \ |
| 33. Re-modify (mrvl-pcie/mrvl-sd8xxx/mrvl-usb)/Makefile |
| for PCIE |
| |
| -obj-m := mlan.o |
| -mlan-objs := $(MLANOBJS) |
| +obj-m := mlan-pcie.o |
| +mlan-pcie-objs := $(MLANOBJS) |
| |
| for SDIO |
| |
| -obj-m := mlan.o |
| -mlan-objs := $(MLANOBJS) |
| +obj-m := mlan-sdio.o |
| +mlan-sdio-objs := $(MLANOBJS) |
| |
| for USB |
| |
| -obj-m := mlan.o |
| -mlan-objs := $(MLANOBJS) |
| +obj-m := mlan-usb.o |
| +mlan-usb-objs := $(MLANOBJS) |
| 34. Go to step 25. |
