I would like to add Wifi and Bluetooth 5 capabilities to a my own embedded system. I am using the Cypress CYW43455 chipset .

Does anybody knows or has documentation about how to connect the SDIO (WiFi) and UART 4-wires (Bluetooth) interfaces between this module and the Embedded Module ARM Cortex A5 ?

I already build kernel with cypress’s driver

The system boot, but I don’t know why mmc1 is not recognize as new high speed SDHC?

root@OpenWrt:~# dmesg | grep mmc0

[    1.410000] mmc0: SDHCI controller on a0000000.sdio-host [a0000000.sdio-host] using ADMA

[    1.490000] mmc1: SDHCI controller on b0000000.sdio-host [b0000000.sdio-host] using ADMA

When I check the modules involved I see they are loaded

root@OpenWrt:~# find /lib/modules/

/lib/modules/4.14.171/brcmfmac.ko

/lib/modules/4.14.171/brcmutil.ko

/lib/modules/4.14.171/cfg80211.ko

/lib/modules/4.14.171/compat.ko

root@OpenWrt:~# ls /lib/wifi/

mac80211.sh

But if if check the ifconfig, the wifi interface not exist

root@OpenWrt:~# ifconfig

Hi SeSo_4694526,

Please let me explain about it in detail.

At insmod, FMAC driver needs the following files for chip.

1) FW

2) NVRAM

3) CLM BLOB

And FMAC expects these files to have a specific location and filename.

1) /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac<chip_name>_<interface>.bin

2) /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac<chip_name>_<interface>.txt

3) /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac<chip_name>_<interface>.clm_blob

For example, when using CYW43455 on SDIO interface:

1) /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455_sdio.bin

2) /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455_sdio.txt

3) /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455_sdio.clm_blob

I would appreciate if you could verify the directory '/lib/firmware/brcm/' in your custom design.

Best regards,

KaNa_3391246

The interface connection between Wi-Fi/BT and host is usually documented in the EVK vendor's user manual or application note. For instance, if you have used NXP host processor and Murata module, I am aware of "Murata Wi-Fi/Bluetooth EVK for i.MX Hardware User Manual 1.0". To load the modules, you can use the following commands:

insmod /lib/modules/4.14.171/compat.ko

   

insmod /lib/modules/4.14.171/cfg80211.ko

   

insmod /lib/modules/4.14.171/brcmutil.ko

   

insmod /lib/modules/4.14.171/brcmfmac.ko

You can use lsmod command to verify if the modules are loaded. The ifconfig should then work.

Thanks for your response

When i check all the modules are loaded

root@OpenWrt:~# insmod /lib/modules/4.14.171/compat.ko

module is already loaded - compat

root@OpenWrt:~# insmod /lib/modules/4.14.171/cfg80211.ko

module is already loaded - cfg80211

root@OpenWrt:~# insmod /lib/modules/4.14.171/brcmutil.ko

module is already loaded - brcmutil

root@OpenWrt:~# insmod /lib/modules/4.14.171/brcmfmac.ko

module is already loaded - brcmfmac

but the ifconfig don't show the wifi interfase

Maybe I am wrong in the path that I am using in /etc/config/wireless because I am using SDIO

root@OpenWrt:~# cat /etc/config/wireless
config wifi-device 'radio0'
        option type 'mac80211'
        option channel '6'
        option hwmode '11g'
        option htmode 'HT20'
        option path 'patform/soc_at_01c00000/1c12000.mmc/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:0001/mmc1:0001:1'
        option disable '0'
        option country ''

config wifi-iface
        option device 'radio0'
        option network 'lan'
        option mode 'ap'
        option ssid 'MyWiFiap'
        option encription 'psk2'
        option key 'detec wifi'

Maybe the problem is in the SDIO detection because when I type the next command nothing is displayed

root@OpenWrt:~# dmesg | grep 'new high speed SDIO'

I think the WLAN interface bring up has failed. I could see the message mmc0: new high speed SDIO card at address 0001 in my setup. Also the dmesg should contain the following:

[86580.840465] brcmfmac: brcmf_fw_map_chip_to_name: using brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin for chip 0x004345(17221) rev 0x000006

Have you tested on an eval kit or custom design? Which FMAC release has been built? What is the firmware version being used? Can you share the dmesg logs? I want to check how the bringup is happening. In my setup, I have used version 7.45.206 as shown above and tested on i.Mx6 eval kit.

Thanks for your response,

Have you tested on an eval kit or custom design?

We have our custom design, with the module connected on the mmc1 corresponding tracks,

This is our schematic diagram

The wifi/BT module is connected to the ATMEL A5 processor via the MMC1 controller. The additional control lines a wired to general purpose I/O pines (such as the WIFI_regulator_ON pin).

Which FMAC release has been built?

All of these

respuesta 2.png

What is the firmware version being used?

I’m not sure, how could I check that?

Can you share the dmesg logs? I want to check how the bringup is happening. In my setup, I have used version 7.45.206 as shown above and tested on i.Mx6 eval kit.

Thank you for the details. If you are using the latest FMAC release https://community.cypress.com/docs/DOC-19375, the firmware version can be checked at \cypress-fmac-v5.4.18-2020_0402\cypress-firmware-v5.4.18-2020_0402.tar\cypress-firmware-v5.4.18-2020_0402\firmware\versions file. From the dmesg log, I do not see the 43455 chip getting enumerated. Also I do not see the WLAN firmware version getting printed. Which means that the WLAN interface was not brought up and that is why the wlan0 interface is not seen in ifconfig. Could you confirm that WL_REG_ON was kept high? Keeping the pin low would hold the WLAN chip in reset. Did you place the brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin and brcm43455-sdio.clm_blob files in /lib/firmware/brcm?

I believe the problem is in the driver configuration because we review this driver

https://community.cypress.com/docs/DOC-19375

But I see only iNX6UL/4.1.15, iNX6SX/4.1.15 y iNX6SX/4.9.88 in device tree file, and this files are created for Murata Wi-Fi/BT EVK. I need to modify and create my own device tree because my connections are:

Hi SeSo_4694526,

Excuse me for cutting in.

I would appreciate if you could verify that mmc1's SDIO interface is working properly in your custom design.

For example, if a generic SDHC card is connected to mmc1, will it be recognized?

Best regards,

KaNa_3391246

The CIS tuple 0x80 message is basically hardware header information and it is normal. However, the nvram file name brcmfmac43455-sdio.atmel,sama5d27-som1-ek.txt should be changed to brcmfmac43455-sdio.txt and the brcm directory should contain the brcmfmac43455-sdio.clm_blob file.

Hi SeSo_4694526,

Please let me explain about it in detail.

At insmod, FMAC driver needs the following files for chip.

1) FW

2) NVRAM

3) CLM BLOB

And FMAC expects these files to have a specific location and filename.

1) /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac<chip_name>_<interface>.bin

2) /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac<chip_name>_<interface>.txt

3) /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac<chip_name>_<interface>.clm_blob

For example, when using CYW43455 on SDIO interface:

1) /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455_sdio.bin

2) /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455_sdio.txt

3) /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455_sdio.clm_blob

I would appreciate if you could verify the directory '/lib/firmware/brcm/' in your custom design.

Best regards,

KaNa_3391246

Hi SeSo_4694526,

For some reason, it seems that FMAC of your custom design expects 'brcmfmac43455-sdio.atmel,sama5d27-som1-ek.txt' as NVRAM filename.

As suggested by GauravS_31, I would appreciate if you could try the following steps:

1) Get the latest FMAC and rebuild and create 'ko' files for your custom design.

  https://community.cypress.com/docs/DOC-19375

2) Place the created 4 ko files in any folder. For example:

  /home/test/compat.ko

  /home/test/cfg80211.ko

  /home/test/brcmutil.ko

  /home/test/brcmfmac.ko

3) install modules as below:

  rmmod brcmfmac brcmutil cfg80211 compat

  insmod /home/test/compat.ko

  insmod /home/test/cfg80211.ko

  insmod /home/test/brcmutil.ko

  insmod /home/test/brcmfmac.ko

Before doing that, I don´t know if the driver is working well because if I access my device with Luci and I can see wifi networks and I get access to Internet

but now I want to configure the wifi as AP with 3 SSIDs and get access with my mobile phone

Hi SeSo_4694526,

I suggest the following:

If the original question (why mmc1 is not recognize) has been resolved, let's wrap up this discussion.

And please create a new discussion about 'AP with 3 SSIDs' if needed.

Best regards,

KaNa_3391246

I would recommend to use the latest firmware available in Cypress Linux WiFi Driver Release (FMAC) [2020-04-02] which contains security fixes for known vulnerabilities till that date.
