内核配置

内核编译前确保Linux配置

# make menuconfig

 

使能WLAN网络支持：

[*] Networking support--->

     -*- Wireless --->

 

使能Wireless LAN设备驱动：

Device Drivers --->

     [*] Network device support --->

           [*] Wireless LAN --->

 

使能RealTekRTL8712U无线网卡驱动：

Device Drivers --->

     [*] Staging drivers --->

           RealTek RTL8712U (RTL8192SU) Wireless LAN NICdriver

目的是打开CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT=y和CONFIG_WEXT_PRIV=y

 

上述操作在内核中使能下述CONFIG选项：

CONFIG_WIRELESS=y

CONFIG_WLAN=y

CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT=y

CONFIG_WEXT_CORE=y

CONFIG_WEXT_PROC=y

CONFIG_WEXT_PRIV=y

 

使能USB Host支持：

Device Drivers --->

     [*] USB support --->

           <*> Support for Host-side USB

           <*> EHCI HCD (USB 2.0) support

 

 

 

编译内核

根据上述内核配置编译内核。

编译驱动

make KSRC=<内核源代码码路径>

 

当前目录下得到Wifi驱动模块：wlan.ko

 

 

编译Android源代码

 

 

 

编译wireless_tools无线网络管理工具

解压缩wireless_tools.30.rtl.tar.gz到Android源代码 external/目录下

(1)tar zxvf wireless_tools.30.rtl.tar.gz

(2)cp wireless_tools.30.rtl /external/

(3)cd

(4)make iwconfig iwlist iwpriv

 

 

安装Wifi驱动模块

将wlan.ko拷贝到Android文件系统out/target/product/sama5d3/system/lib/modules目录下

 

 

制作Android根文件系统并烧写到开发板

 

 

 

测试

启动后插入USB Wifi模块

usb 1-2: newhigh-speed USB device number 2 using atmel-ehci

usb 1-2: NewUSB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=0724

usb 1-2: NewUSB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3

usb 1-2:Product: 802.11n WLAN Adapter

usb 1-2:Manufacturer: Realtek

usb 1-2:SerialNumber: 00e04c000001

 

加载模块前

root@sama5d3:/ # netcfg

eth0     UP                                    0.0.0.0/0   0x000010433a:1f:34:08:54:54

lo       UP                                  127.0.0.1/8   0x0000004900:00:00:00:00:00

 

加载模块

root@sama5d3:/# insmod /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko

usbcore:registered new interface driver rtl8723au

 

加载模块后

root@sama5d3:/# netcfg

wlan0 DOWN 0.0.0.0/0 0x00001002 00:02:72:3c:0c:c1

wlan1 DOWN 0.0.0.0/0 0x00001002 02:02:72:3c:0c:c1

lo UP 127.0.0.1/8 0x00000049 00:00:00:00:00:00

 

可以看到多了两个接口wlan0和wlan1。

 

打开wlan0

root@sama5d3:/# netcfg wlan0 up

IPv6:ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready

RTL871X:nolinked power save enter

 

执行命令iwlist wlan0 scanning,搜索可用的无线AP

部分结果如下：

root@sama5d3:/# iwlist wlan0 scanning

RTL871X:nolinked power save leave
