While I was porting driver of JODY-W164 module, I failed to find these two files mentioned in user manual: fw_bcmdhd_hu.bin and nvram.txt . Does anyone know about it?

This is an automotive module, so it is not supported in the Broad Market and here on the community.  Please reach out to the local Cypress sales team that engaged with you on this module and ask them to setup a direct support channel with the regional automotive team and engineering group.

Hi Gery,

To answer your question:

The nvram file is specific to the module design and should be obtained from U-blox.

The filename listed is just an example.

In the driver/firmware release (e.g. P8.2) you will find the folder 'firmwares'. This contains a number of different firmware binaries. The one to use depends on you application. Please refer to the pdf document '89359_pcie_fw_description.pdf'. This contains a description of each of the firmware binaries provided.

Hi, Steve,

     Thanks for your answer. But I have another issue that the chip is not powered up successfully.

I don't know how to get rid of this issue. Can you help me ?

And the product type is JODY-W164-03A-01, does it support SDIO host interface?

[StephenR_51]

Hi Gery,

You will need to check with U-blox to confirm that JODY-W164-03A-01 supports SDIO host interface.

Also U-blox should provide first line support. If they are unable to help then they will direct you to Cypress.

For info, the JODY module uses Cypress 88359 chipset which is not supported by the General WICED community forum.

I have created a MyCases Project 'IOT_UBLOX JODY-WXXX DHD NON-AUTOMOTIVE' and added you as a member of the team.

When you login to your Cypress account you should see a 'MyProjects' link in the top right hand corner of the screen. You should be able to click on the link, find the project and then submit a MyCases ticket. Please include all the information you've listed here. I have include the U-blox AE team so they have visibility.

Some additional comments:

1. Which driver/firmware pacakge are you using? In my previous response I referred to P8.2. This is for PCIe and not SDIO. For SDIO, you need to be using the S5.2 package.

2. We do not support ad-hoc mode. This was depricated from the IEEE standard a numbe rof yesrs ago and replaced with Wi-Fi Direct (P2P)

3. The second line of the log you provided has: [    1.833880] wlreg_on: disabling. I'm not sure if this is with refernce to the JODY module but wlreg_ON needs to be enabled otherwise the Wi-Fi subsystem will be turned off.

Thanks， Steve:

          I had checked with U-blox, they said JODY-W164-03A-01 only supports PCIe host interface. Now we need to  look for another type of module that supports SDIO host interface. 

[StephenR_51]

Hi Gery,

My understanding is that U-blox does a Jody variant that supports SDIO.

If you would like, I can put you in contact with my colleagues in China who can list other vedors that have 89359 module solutions.

Br, Steve

[gexic_3531936]

Hi stru​

          We are waiting for new sample (JODY-W163-05A) that supports SDIO. When I  get it, I will debug it as soon as possible.

          Thanks for your replies.
