Hi,
I am trying to get our product containing BCM43438 certified (CE, FCC, IC).
I have the 'wl' utility compiled and running, but I cannot find the correct FW anywhere (wl returns unsupported error when trying phy_tx_tone or fqacurcy command).
Can you help please?
I believe I need fw_bcmdhd_mfg_bcm43438.bin (or similar for brcmfmac driver).

Thanks,
Tom

ok, but why your firmware version shows 7.45.98.50 (r688715 CY WLTEST) , the WLTEST means MFG firmware.
I got a MFG release from wiced sdk, please take it to have a try.

Can you use "wl ver" for a test ? if you have no firmware installed in the system, it should fail also. Actually, for linux support you need to raise help to local person.
1. if you can run "wl ver" well, it means you only need a mfg firmware.
2. if not, I think you need more for your test.

Hi,
Version ('wl ver') returns:
1.107 RC5.0
wl0: Apr 30 2018 04:13:29 version 7.45.98.50 (r688715 CY WLTEST) FWID 01-68e4a7a6
I have these firmwares:
-rw-r--r-- | 1 root | root | 380919 Nov 5 03:14 43438A1-mfgtest.bin |
-rw-r--r-- | 1 root | root | 7222 Nov 5 03:14 43438A1-mfgtest.clm_blob |
-rw-r--r-- | 1 root | root | 383110 Nov 5 03:15 43438A1.bin |
-rw-r--r-- | 1 root | root | 7222 Nov 5 03:14 43438A1.clm_blob |
-rw-r--r-- | 1 root | root | 7222 Nov 5 03:14 clm_blob |
-rw-r--r-- | 1 root | root | 380919 Nov 5 03:14 fw_bcm43438a1.bin |
This is the sequence of cmds I try to execute:
wl -i wlan0 cmds
wl down
wl country DE
wl band b
wl chanspec -c 1 -b 2 -w 20 -s 0
wl mpc 0
wl up
wl phy_tx_tone 2412
But I get an error on 'country', 'chanspec', and 'up' command. Please see attached log.
So I'm suspecting this FW is not the correct one for MFG test with 'wl'. Can you confirm this?

And please note that in the upper directory listing, 43438A1-mfgtest.bin is just a copy of fw_bcm43438a1.bin ("normal" brcm driver FW for this chip), I don't have the actual (correct) MFG firmware for 43438:
root@box2:/var/wifi/firmware/43438# diff fw_bcm43438a1.bin 43438A1-mfgtest.bin
root@box2:/var/wifi/firmware/43438#

seems you are using a MFG firmware already, please use below command to have a try.
please set country to ALL since it is for RF test.
wl down
wl country ALL
wl channel 6
wl up
wl phy_forcecal 1
wl phy_tx_tone 4000
4000 means 4M offset from current channel frequency. current channel 6, 2437+4 .
need your help to have a try.

Hi zhez,
This is the output from cmds:
root@box2:/var/wifi# ./wl down
root@box2:/var/wifi# ./wl country ALL
./wl: Bad Argument
root@box2:/var/wifi# ./wl channel 6
./wl: Bad Channel
root@box2:/var/wifi# ./wl up
root@box2:/var/wifi# ./wl phy_forcecal 1
./wl: Not up
root@box2:/var/wifi# ./wl phy_tx_tone 4000
./wl: Not up
As I mentioned in the previous post, I do NOT HAVE the MFG firmware - the log is done using the BRCM43438 FW.
