SDIO-UART

“MFG-IW61X-MF-BRG-U16-WIN-X86-1.0.0.7-18.80.254.p23.3.zip”

Linux PC set up (SDIO-UART)

After download the SW package from Azure Wave contact window, please build the driver first.

Open the folder and you can see below contents.

Go into Driver folder and unzip the tar file you can see the files below.

Unzip them all and go into the / SD-UAPSTA-UART- BT-9177-U16-MMC-18.68.1.p32-18.35.1.p32- MXM5X18278_V0-MGPL/wlan_src folder and use the cmds as below.

Make clean
Make build

Driver for UART-to-USB bridge IC(PL2303GC)

Update pl2303.ko driver to below direction and replace the original one.

*you can contact with AZURE wave FAE for pl2303.ko file.
**notice: the kernel version may be different from the sample picture

Input below cmds by terminal before connecting to AW-CM276NF-EVB’s UART-to-USB port.

Nismo usbserial.ko
Insmod pl2303.ko

Connect USB-to-UART type C port to your PC and input “dmesg” to check if device tty USBx is generated successfully

Environment set up and Bridge Mode Tool

The “Manufacturing Bridge” refers to the application that allows a user to send commands between Target platform and Windows platform. The environment enables the user to test performance of the AW-XM549

Start driver installation and DUT testing

Linux PC side

After building the driver at Linux PC, you can run the following commands to install the driver and firmware and start the Manufacturing bridge application with the following commands.

Please copy firmware in the SW package

\MFG-IW612-MF-LABTOOL-Native-1.0.0.18.0-18.80.1.p107.zip\MFG-IW612-MF-LABTOOL- Native1.0.0.18.0 18.80.1.p107\bin\FwImage\

To Linux system firmware direction /lib/firmware/mrvl/

On the working direction, use the following commands to put the IW611 in MFG mode after power on DUT.

SDIO-UART:

a. For Wi-Fi Go into bin_sdw61x folder and key in below cmds MoD probe cfg80211 unshod mean. ko insmod sd61x.ko mfg_mode=1 cal_data_cfg=none fw_name=mrvl/sduart_nw61x_v1.bin
b. For BT
Hciattach /dev/ttyUSB0 any 3000000 flow

*Please notice and key in the correct ttyUSB number in your Linux PC system. Bring up the ethernet interface and specify an IP address to the Target platform. This address must match the IP for the DUT in which the Host PC is expecting.
Ex. ifconfig ethO 192.168.1.10 up

The next line will start the MFG Bridge application. >Jmfgbridge

At this point, the target is ready to receive Labtool commands.

Windows PC side

On the Windows laptop where the Lab tool release was downloaded, go to the folder shown below:

Edit the “SetUp.ini” file as shown in the lines highlighted in RED below.
a. The setup DutIp Address will be the IP address of your target.

b. The setup NO_EEPROM is the storage type to get/set function.

• 1 – NO_EEPROM support → Set storage type to .conf calibration file in labtool folder.
• 2 – OTP support →Set storage type to OTP in DUT

Then you can double click “DutApiMimoApApp_W9177.exe” to enter labtool as below picture.
