1-2. Software package requirement
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
MFG-W8978-MF-WIFI-BT-8RG-FC-VS2013-1.0.0.11 – 16.80.10.p132
Go into the Driver folder and unzip the tar file you can see the files below.

Make clean Make build Then and go into the / SD- BT-8978-U16-MMC-16.26.10.p101-C4X14114_V0-GPL-src folder and use the cards as below.
Make clean Make build
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.

2. RF Command
As the information is shown on your screen, please enter these commands below to start your test. (Figure 9)
Command: 1 Wi-Fi testing
Command: 2 BT testing

2-3 Others Commands
(1) Command 45 Check the MAC
(2) Command 99 Quit the test mode/ Quit the MFG tool
2-4 BT test mode Commands
This is how we test our BT: let BT enter test mode, then connect to a tester for testing.
(1) Command 45Check BT MAC.
(2) Command 78 1BT enter test mode.
After you type the above command, you can measure the BT signal both TX/RX and the other BT test items by your BT instrument.
