wlcore/wl18xx upstream vs build_wl18xx.sh

[Anton Gerasimov]

Hi all,

my question is not related directly to meta-ti, but it's the only ti
developer mailing list I've found. If you know a better place for it,
please share.

I've tried to build linux-ti-staging kernel from meta-ti with wl18xx
support and it kind of works, i.e. I can scan for available networks,
but can't unfortunately connect to any. I've learned that TI's
recommended way to build their wireless drivers is via build_wl18xx.sh
from TI's build_utilities, which uses a bit convoluted procedure ending,
as far as I could understand, with backporting drivers from TI's own
kernel branch.

So I wonder how different these are from the upstream, if it is possible
that my problems are due to using upstream drivers, and if there is a
recommended method to install these drivers inside Yocto, without
post-processing built images.

Thanks in advance,
Anton Gerasimov
