[Question] Morty and TI wireless drivers

Hi there,

I've noticed that the wifi module drivers for TI wl183x seem to be present
in
kernel 4.1.15, in morty. Are they complete and usable, or would I need to
manually apply TI's patches myself? If it helps, my target board is a
wandboard.

Thanks in advance,
Amin

We are using those with a custom board with success.

Awesome, thanks!

Could you please kindly share your custom board's kernel config and
device tree files?

Thanks in advance,
Amin

IIRC the Variscite modules makes use of it; base on them.

We tested wl183x drivers with mainline kernel and they work well on
mx6sx udoo. Take a look at this commit:
