Hello I started to modify qemu to emulate 88W8388. Now it can load the firmware ( usb8388.bin) into ram and starts the firmware, albeit it drops an error after some time. So it is very simple so far, I worked on it for a couple of hours so far. My short term goals: - emulate the usb device of the 8388 and create a connection between the linux kernel driver and the emulator so from linux pow starting the emulator looks as plugging in the usb device - modify qemu so that i/o ports of 8388 could be accessed from outside of the emulator. I guess that the arm core of 8388 communicates with the other parts (the radio interface) via io ports so if we can see which ports are read/written by the arm core we can do the same from the free firmware.
Anyway, if we want to write the free firmware, a good emulator of 8388 is handy. Anybody interested ? I took many info from http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Marvell_microkernel and http://wiki.laptop.org/go/88W8388 so kudos to all who created it. -- Rózsás Gödény
