SDIO-CART
“SDIO-UART SW package_p132.zip”
1-2-1.Linux PC set up (SDIO-UART)
After downloading the SW package from the Azurewave contact window, please
build the driver first.
Open the folder and you can see the below contents.
Drivers

1-2-2 Driver for UART-to-USB bridge IC (PL2303GC)
Update pl2303.ko driver to below direction and replace the original one.
*you can contact Azurewave FAE for the 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.
insmod usbserial.ko insmod pl2303.ko Connect USB-to-UART type C port to your
PC and input “dmesg” to check if device ttyUSBx is generated successfully.
1-3. Environment set up and Bridge Mode Tool
The “Manufacturing Bridge” refers to the application that allows a user to
send commands between the Target platform and the Windows platform. The
environment enables the user to test the performance of the AW-AM510
Manufacturing Bridge mode
1-4. Start driver installation and DUT testing
1-4-1. Linux PC side
After building the driver a 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-W8978-MF-WIFI-BT-BRG-FC-VS2013-1.0.0.11-16.80.10.p132FwImage To Linux
system firmware direction /lib/firmware/ml/ On the working direction, use the
following commands to put the 88W8978 in MFG mode after power on DUT. SDIO-
UART:*
a. For Wi-Fi
Go into the bin_sd8978 folder and key in below cmds modprobe cfg80211 Insmod
plan.ko Insmod sd8978.ko mfg_mode=1 cal_data_cfg=none
fw_name=mrvl/sdio8978_uart_combo.bin
b. For BT
Hciattach /dev/ttyUSB0 any 115200 flow6
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.
At this point, the target is ready to receive Lab tool commands.
1-4-2. 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. The setup DutIpAddress will be the IP address of your target. ****
Then you can double click “DutApiSisoBt.exe” to enter lab tool as below picture.
