android wifi ralink rt3070开发记录
一、wifi基本架构
frameworks/base/core/jni/android_net_wifi_Wifi.cpp 这个是无线connect、scan方面的调用
frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/
frameworks/base/wifi/java/android/net/wifi/
packages/apps/Settings/src/com/android/settings/wifi/
network={
ssid="home"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="very secret passphrase"
} // 这个地方的大括号中的内容可在settings中点击选择某个ap后自动生成
#make clean
#make
#make install
#modprobe rt5370sta
ifeq($(PLATFORM),BCM7431)
LINUX_SRC= ${ANDROID_PATH}/kernel #修改path为你的android目录
endif
驱动编译后会生成两个文件：RT5370STA.ko 和RT2870STA.dat，后面
会看到需要拷贝这两个文件到系统中。
ioctl 驱动代码接口在os/linux/sta_ioctl.c 及 sta/sta_cfg.c中，如果遇到一些错误，一般在这里都能查找到.
2）把rt5370sta.ko拷贝到.../lib/modules目录中
include$(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE := rt5370sta.ko
LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS:= user
LOCAL_MODULE_CLASS:= SHARED_LIBRARIES
LOCAL_MODULE_PATH:= $(TARGET_OUT_SHARED_LIBRARIES)/modules
LOCAL_SRC_FILES:= ${RT5370_PATH}/rt5370sta.ko #PATH
include$(BUILD_PREBUILT)3) 查看wifi.c文件ko路径及名字是否正确，若不正确需要修改正确
4) 修改init.rc文件
chmod 0771 /system/etc/wifi wifi wifi
chmod 0660 /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
chown wifi wifi /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
mkdir /data/misc/wifi 0771 wifi wifi
mkdir /data/misc/wifi/sockets 0771 wifi wifi
#wpa_supplicant socket
mkdir /data/system/ 0771 system system
mkdir /data/system/wpa_supplicant 0771 wifi wifi
mkdir /data/misc/dhcp 0771 system system
chmod 0777 /system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks
chmod 0777 /data/misc/dhcp/
mountyaffs2 mtd@system /system ro remount
setprop wifi.interface wlan0
service wpa_supplicant /system/bin/wpa_supplicant -dd -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
#group system wifi inet
disabled
oneshot
service dhcpcd_wlan0 /system/bin/dhcpcd wlan0 // 这里的service需要修改为dhcpcd_wlan0(android2.2 和2.3有差异，我这里是2.3)，而不是dhcpcd！
group system dhcp
disabled
oneshot
5) 修改external/wpa_supplicant/driver_wext.c
这是为了避免wpa_supplicant与下层驱动通讯时出现ioctl[SIOCSIWPRIV]错误，因为现在大部分wifi模块对SIOCSIWPRIV命令不处理，而这个命令要用于侦测wifi强度RSSI的，比较简单的方法是在wifi驱动中增加个空函数或者修改调用的返回值为0。由于大多数模块不支持SIOCSIWPRIV，所以目前采用修改调用的返回值的方法。修改：froyo\external\wpa_supplicant\driver_wext.c
wpa_driver_priv_driver_cmd()函数中：
// if((ret = ioctl(drv->ioctl_sock, SIOCSIWPRIV, &iwr)) < 0) {
//perror("ioctl[SIOCSIWPRIV]");
// }
// 如果这里不注释掉，将导致系统不断报错，错误为 IOCTL::unknownIOCTL's cmd = 0x00008b0c，我跟踪了下代码驱动中并没有这个ioctl，
另外在wpa_supplicant的头文件中也显示未使用，但是在代码中却用了这个ioctl，所以必须把这段代码删除！
6) 修改android打开WIFI流程
经测试5370模块在ifconfig wlan0 down时配置
iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed会出错，Android代码中的配置过程也是这样，表现就是关闭WIFI重新打开后扫描不到AP，修改：mips-gingerbread\frameworks\base\wifi\java\android\net\wifi\WifiStateTracker.java
public void resetConnections(boolean disableInterface)
if(disableInterface){
//if(LOCAL_LOGD) Log.d(TAG, "Disabling interface");
//NetworkUtils.disableInterface(mInterfaceName);
} //此处若不修改将导致wifi关闭后再次开启，scan不到ap！
#netcfg
lo UP 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 0x00000049
eth0 UP 10.20.112.46 255.255.255.0 0x00001043
wlan0 DOWN 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0x00001002
#iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Network is down.
#iwconfig wlan0 nickname "RobinYeung"
Error for wireless request "Set Nickname" (8B1C) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Network is down.
上面java代码的调用函数为：
static jint android_net_utils_disableInterface(JNIEnv* env, jobject clazz, jstring ifname)
{
int result;
const char *nameStr = env->GetStringUTFChars(ifname, NULL);
result = ::ifc_disable(nameStr);
env->ReleaseStringUTFChars(ifname, nameStr);
return (jint)result;
}int ifc_disable(const char *ifname)
{
int result;
ifc_init(); // 调用socket函数，得到fd
result = ifc_down(ifname); // 通过ioctl设定到内核
ifc_set_addr(ifname, 0);
ifc_close(); // 关闭fd
return result;
}int ifc_down(const char *name)
{
return ifc_set_flags(name, 0, IFF_UP);
}
static int ifc_set_flags(const char *name, unsigned set, unsigned clr)
{
struct ifreq ifr;
ifc_init_ifr(name, &ifr);
if(ioctl(ifc_ctl_sock, SIOCGIFFLAGS, &ifr) < 0) return -1;
ifr.ifr_flags = (ifr.ifr_flags & (~clr)) | set;
return ioctl(ifc_ctl_sock, SIOCSIFFLAGS, &ifr);
}down时flags & fffffffe，然后通过ioctl 设定到kernel。
在你的board配置目录下MIPSAndroid_Phase2.1/bcm_mipsgingerbread20111129/AppLibs/opensource/android/src/mips-gingerbread/vendor/broadcom/bcm_platform/prebuilt创建一个wpa_supplicant.conf文件，输入如下内容：
ctrl_interface=DIR=/data/system/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wifi
update_config=1
ap_scan=1
8)修改board配置目录下的AndroidBoard.mk
在MIPSAndroid_Phase2.1/bcm_mipsgingerbread20111129/AppLibs/opensource/android/src/mips-gingerbread/vendor/broadcom/bcm_platform/Android.mk 或AndroidBoard.mk下增加如下代码：
include$(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE:= wpa_supplicant.conf
LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS:= user
LOCAL_MODULE_CLASS:= ETC
LOCAL_MODULE_PATH:= $(TARGET_OUT_ETC)/wifi
LOCAL_SRC_FILES:= $(LOCAL_MODULE)
include$(BUILD_PREBUILT)
9)少了一个步骤，就是拷贝RT2870STA.dat到etc下
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE := RT2870STA.dat
LOCAL_MODULE_CLASS := ETC
LOCAL_MODULE_PATH := $(TARGET_OUT_ETC)/Wireless/RT2870STA
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := $(LOCAL_MODULE)
include $(BUILD_PREBUILT)
10) make clean 然后
根据您的脚本build android or all
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
delete from system where name = 'airplane_mode_on';
.exit else if (action.equals(WifiManager.NETWORK_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION) ||

final String action = intent.getAction();
if (action.equals(WifiManager.WIFI_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION)) {
final boolean enabled = intent.getIntExtra(WifiManager.EXTRA_WIFI_STATE,
WifiManager.WIFI_STATE_UNKNOWN) == WifiManager.WIFI_STATE_ENABLED;
if (!enabled) {
// If disabled, hide the icon. (We show icon when connected.)
mService.setIconVisibility("wifi", false);
}
} else if (action.equals(WifiManager.SUPPLICANT_CONNECTION_CHANGE_ACTION)) {
final boolean enabled = intent.getBooleanExtra(WifiManager.EXTRA_SUPPLICANT_CONNECTED,
false);
if (!enabled) {
mService.setIconVisibility("wifi", false);
}
} else if (action.equals(WifiManager.RSSI_CHANGED_ACTION)) {
int iconId;
final int newRssi = intent.getIntExtra(WifiManager.EXTRA_NEW_RSSI, -200);
int newSignalLevel = WifiManager.calculateSignalLevel(newRssi,
sWifiSignalImages[0].length);
if (newSignalLevel != mLastWifiSignalLevel) {
mLastWifiSignalLevel = newSignalLevel;
if (mIsWifiConnected) {
iconId = sWifiSignalImages[mInetCondition][newSignalLevel];
} else {
iconId = sWifiTemporarilyNotConnectedImage;
}
mService.setIcon("wifi", iconId, 0);
}
}

*/
public static int calculateSignalLevel(int rssi, int numLevels) {
if (rssi <= MIN_RSSI) {
return 0;
} else if (rssi >= MAX_RSSI) {
return numLevels - 1;
} else {
int partitionSize = (MAX_RSSI - MIN_RSSI) / (numLevels - 1);
return (rssi - MIN_RSSI) / partitionSize;
}
}

}1. Enable building of wpa_supplicant in your BoardConfig.mk
2. (Optional) Enable debug for wpa_supplicant.
3. Provide a proper wpa_supplicant.conf for your device
4. Have the correct paths and permissions created from init.rc
5. Make sure your wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd (optional) are starting from init.rc
6. Provide your driver either as a module or built in kernel and proper kernel support for it and modify Android source code accordingly.
7. Provide a firmware if your module needs it.
8. Make your driver work with Android custom wpa_supplicant commands and SIOCSIWPRIV ioctl
Android uses a modified wpa_supplicant (external/wpa_supplicant) daemon for wifi support which is controlled through a socket by hardware/libhardware_legacy/wifi/wifi.c (WiFiHW) that gets controlled from Android UI through android.net.wifi package from frameworks/base/wifi/java/android/net/wifi/ and it's corresponding jni implementation in frameworks/base/core/jni/android_net_wifi_Wifi.cpp Higher level network management is done in frameworks/base/core/java/android/net
This is by simply adding: BOARD_WPA_SUPPLICANT_DRIVER := WEXT
to your BoardConfig.mk. This will set WPA_BUILD_SUPPLICANT to true in
external/wpa_supplicant/Android.mk enabling building of driver_wext.c
If you have a custom wpa_supplicant driver (like madwifi or my custom android private commands emulation - see last paragraph) you can replace WEXT with AWEXT or your driver name (MADWIFI, PRISM etc).
By default wpa_supplicant is set to MSG_INFO that doesn't tell much. To enable more messages:
2.1 modify common.c and set wpa_debug_level = MSG_DEBUG
2.2 modify common.h and change #define wpa_printf from if ((level) >= MSG_INFO) to if ((level) >= MSG_DEBUG)
Providing a wpa_supplicant.conf it's important because the control socket for android is specified in this file (ctrl_interface= ). This file should be copied by your AndroidBoard.mk to $(TARGET_OUT_ETC)/wifi (usually /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf). This location will be used on wpa_supplicant service from init.rc.
There are two different ways in which wpa_supplicant can be configured, one is to use a "private" socket in android namespace, created by socket_local_client_connect() function in wpa_ctrl.c and another is by using a standard unix socket.
Minimum required config options in wpa_supplicant.conf :
- Android private socket
ctrl_interface=wlan0
update_config=1
- Unix standard socket
ctrl_interface=DIR=/data/system/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wifi
update_config=1
Depending on your driver you might also want to add:
ap_scan=1
If you have AP association problems with should change to ap_scan=0 to let the driver do the association instead of wpa_supplicant.
If you want to let wpa_supplicant connect to non-WPA or open wireless networks (by default it skips these kind) add:
network={
key_mgmt=NONE / WPA-PSK
}
Incorrect permisions will result in wpa_supplicant not being able to create/open the control socket and libhardware_legacy/wifi/wifi.c won't connect.
Since Google modified wpa_supplicant to run as wifi user/group the directory structure and file ownership should belong to wifi user/group (see os_program_init() function in wpa_supplicant/os_unix.c).
Otherwise errors like:
E/WifiHW ( ): Unable to open connection to supplicant on "/data/system/wpa_supplicant/wlan0": No such file or directory will appear.
Also wpa_supplicant.conf should belong to wifi user/group because wpa_supplicant will want to modify this file. If your system has /system as read-only use a location like /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf and modify wpa_supplicant service in init.rc with new location.
Make sure the paths are correctly created in init.rc:
mkdir /system/etc/wifi 0770 wifi wifi
chmod 0770 /system/etc/wifi
chmod 0660 /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
chown wifi wifi /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
#wpa_supplicant control socket for android wifi.c (android private socket)
mkdir /data/misc/wifi 0770 wifi wifi
mkdir /data/misc/wifi/sockets 0770 wifi wifi
chmod 0770 /data/misc/wifi
chmod 0660 /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
chown wifi wifi /data/misc/wifi
chown wifi wifi /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
If you use a Unix standard socket in wpa_supplicant.conf (see above) add:
# wpa_supplicant socket (unix socket mode)
mkdir /data/system/wpa_supplicant 0771 wifi wifi
chmod 0771 /data/system/wpa_supplicant
chown wifi wifi /data/system/wpa_supplicant
Do not add these if you use Android private socket because it will make wpa_supplicant non-functional, because hardware/libhardware_legacy/wifi/wifi.c check for existence of the /data/system/wpa_supplicant folder and will pass a wrong interface name towpa_ctrl_open() function.
5. Make sure your wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd are starting from init.rc
For wpa_supplicant the init.rc startup like should be depending on which path you chosen:
- Android private socket:
service wpa_supplicant /system/bin/wpa_supplicant -dd -Dwext -iwlan0 -c /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
socket wpa_wlan0 dgram 660 wifi wifi
group system wifi inet
disabled
oneshot
- Unix standard socket:
service wpa_supplicant /system/bin/wpa_supplicant -dd -Dwext -iwlan0 -c /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
group system wifi inet
disabled
oneshot
If your wifi driver creates a wifi interface with other name than wlan0 you will have to modify the above line accordingly.
You also should have dhcpcd starting from init.rc
service dhcpcd /system/bin/dhcpcd wlan0
group system dhcp
disabled
oneshot
6. Provide your driver either as a module or built in kernel and proper kernel support for it
First make sure that CONFIG_PACKET and CONFIG_NET_RADIO (wireless extensions) are enabled in your kernel. The driver can be built as module (default android way) or built in kernel (if you want to rely in kernel auto probing to support multiple driver eg. USB wifi) but will require source code modifications (see below).
- As kernel module:
Define in your BoardConfig.mk:
1. WIFI_DRIVER_MODULE_PATH := path to the module to be loaded
You need to specify module name in that path too, usually should look something like /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko
2. WIFI_DRIVER_MODULE_NAME:= the name of the network interface that the driver creates, for example wlan0
3. WIFI_DRIVER_MODULE_ARG:= any arguments that you want to pass to the driver on insmod, for example nohwcrypt
Make sure you copy your kernel module when building android to the correct location.
- As built in kernel:
- First init.rc needs to be modified to inform hardware/libhardware_legacy/wifi/wifi.c about the name of the interface, that the driver is already loaded and set the status of wpa_supplicant to running:
setprop wifi.interface "wlan0"
setprop wlan.driver.status "ok"
Do NOT add setprop init.svc.wpa_supplicant "running" as I previously mentioned as it will prevent wpa_supplicant from starting from init.
- Secondly hardware/libhardware_legacy/wifi/wifi.c need to be modified so the functions insmod() and rmmod() return 0 (simply add return 0; as the first line in functions since they are not needed when driver is built in kernel) and return before checking for /proc/modules in check_driver_loaded() function.
You might encounter problems with WifiHW module not being able to connect to wpa_supplicant socket even with the correct permisions. Try to turn off / turn on Wifi from the GUI.
7. Provide a firmware if your driver needs it
If your driver needs a firmware you will have to copy this firmware file to /etc/firmware on your android build. Android doesn't use a standard hotplug binary (although there is an implementation available on android-x86 system/code/toolbox/hotplug.c) instead the init process takes care of firmware events and loads the firmware file from /etc/firmware (see: system/core/init/devices.c handle_firmware_event() function).
Firmware file name is defined by the driver and might also contain a folder like: RTL8192SU/rtl8192sfw.bin, entire file path should be available in/etc/firmware
8. Make your driver work with Android custom wpa_supplicant commands and SIOCSIWPRIV ioctl.
Android uses SIOCSIWPRIV ioctl to send commands to modify driver behaviour and receive information like signal strength, mac address of the AP, link speed etc. This ioctl is usually not implemented in any known wireless drivers except bcm4329 which is in google msm kernel branch.
The errors from not having this ioctl implemented will look like:
E/wpa_supplicant( ): wpa_driver_priv_driver_cmd failed wpa_driver_priv_driver_cmd RSSI len = 4096
E/wpa_supplicant( ): wpa_driver_priv_driver_cmd failed
D/wpa_supplicant( ): wpa_driver_priv_driver_cmd LINKSPEED len = 4096
E/wpa_supplicant( ): wpa_driver_priv_driver_cmd failed
I/wpa_supplicant( ): CTRL-EVENT-DRIVER-STATE HANGED
After 4, WEXT_NUMBER_SEQUENTIAL_ERRORS errors, android will abort using the device.
To quickly test your wifi from interface you can disable error checking in external/wpa_supplicant/driver_wext.c by simply making ret = 0; inwpa_driver_priv_driver_cmd() function after the SIOCSIWPRIV ioctl call. This will make all access points in android UI appear without signal or MAC address.
To proper implement the ioctl you will need to modify your kernel driver to reply to SIOCSIWPRIV ioctl with RSSI (signal strength) and MACADDR commands being the most important.
A better way is to add a custom driver_xxx.c to google external/wpa_supplicant/ implementing wpa_driver_priv_driver_cmd() function that will take care of RSSI, MACADDR and others, through calls to SIOCGIWSTATS, SIOCGIFHWADDR ioctls, with the rest of the functions being called from driver_wext.c.
Below is a link to a patch for wpa_supplicant that I did for mini-box.com picoPC Android build. It creates a new driver awext which "emulates" android driver commands using wireless extensions ioctls.
