You are anyway getting the TI-supported driver sources with rowboat sources (see <rowboat>/hardware/ti/wlan/wl1271_compat). No need to hunt around for them. You also get a handy porting guide for WL12xx devices on android at the TI wiki.
The rowboat sources are oriented for using loadable kernel drivers for WLAN. I would recommend you follow the same. You would probably have to make changes in the wifi HAL to get the kernel built-in driver correctly. -Vishveshwar > > > On Mon, Jul 9, 2012 at 2:35 PM, Vishveshwar wrote: > >> On Monday, July 9, 2012 2:12:13 PM UTC+5:30, venkat k raju wrote: >>> >>> >>> Dear all, >>> >>> i have been working on porting android(gingerbread-2.3.4) **with >>> linux-2.6.37 kernel in am3703 custom board. >>> >>> now i want to configure and integrate the wl1271 as built-in driver to >>> 2.6.37 kernel. >>> >> >> Any specific reason to use kernel built-in driver instead to the usual >> kernel module(*.ko) method used in AOSP/rowboat? >> >> Or do you mean to say that you wish to use the WL12xx drivers in the >> kernel rather than the compat-wireless driver in hardware-ti-wlan? >> >> -Vishveshwar >> >>> >>> can anybody suggest me reference links for how to integrate wifi module >>> to android frame work? >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> -- >>> thanks&Regards >>> k.v.raju >>> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "rowboat" group. >> To view this discussion on the web visit >> https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rowboat/-/8NaGZQ_G-8gJ. >> To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >> [email protected]. >> For more options, visit this group at >> http://groups.google.com/group/rowboat?hl=en. >> > > > > -- > thanks&Regards > k.v.raju > -- unsubscribe: [email protected] website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting
