Dear All.

I downloaded the file from https://community.cypress.com/t5/Resource-Library/Cypress-Android-10-Release-2020-07-17/ta-p/252298 and followed the "README" file to port the driver.

Now, I am confused about  how to apply or port the Android patches in $ANDROID_BUILD_TOP/vendor/cypress/patches.(Please see the attached for the screenshot. )

Could  you please provide me procedures in detail?

By default, CYW43569 is not a broad market chip and its FW is not packaged in FMAC releases. But i can see that it is mentioned in android_v5.4.18-gamera-android-2_cy-imx-android-10.0.0_2.0.0-6_REL_PKG\cypress\backports-wireless\drivers\net\wireless\broadcom\brcm80211\brcmfmac\usb.c as shown below:

BRCMF_FW_DEF(43569, "brcmfmac43569");

BRCMF_FW_ENTRY(BRCM_CC_43569_CHIP_ID, 0xFFFFFFFF, 43569)

So, there is a possibility that this chip could be enumerated during driver bring up but we have not tested this chip on FMAC driver. You can consider adding this chip in /vendor/firmware/brcm and load the driver and check if it works.

For your reference, the latest android driver is available at this link https://community.cypress.com/t5/Wi-Fi-Bluetooth-for-Linux/Cypress-Android-10-Release-2021-01-14/m-p... Also some of the patch files are relevant to i.mx8mq host processor. To apply the patches, you can simply use the command "patch <name_of_patch_file>.patch. That should apply the patches to the path as specified in the patch file.

Hi All,

1. We can't patch the file below.
0001-Add-Cypress-FMAC-support-in-Android-10-on-NXP-i.MX8M.patch

Contents of the patch file are different from the attached file.
Are there any errors in the files on my side? Or any suggestions?
/imx8m/evk_8mq/BoardConfig.mk
/imx8m/evk_8mq/SharedBoardConfig.mk
/imx8m/evk_8mq/early.init.cfg
/imx8m/evk_8mq/evk_8mq.mk

2.What is the interface of wifi driver?

Is it sdio or usb? If it is sdio, how do we change to the usb interface?

https://community.cypress.com/t5/Wi-Fi-Bluetooth-for-Linux/Cypress-Android-10-Release-2021-01-14/m-p...

3.Can we change Imxmq to Imxmm platform?If we can, how do we modify?

Thanks for your help.

1. Which host processor is being used? If it is other than imx8mq, you can manually copy the changes into your .mk files.

2. The wifi interface depends on the WLAN chip. Some of them support SDIO and some support PCIE. Kindly refer to android_v5.4.18-gamera-android-2_cy-imx-android-10.0.0_2.0.0-6_REL_PKG\cypress\firmware. USB interface chip is not supported by default in this package. Which WLAN chip is being used in your setup? Is it CYW4373? Is USB interface a requirement for your application?

3. The .mk files for imxmq and imxmm may not be exactly the same, so changing it directly in the patch file may cause the patching to fail. In that case, you can manually apply the changes into the .mk files of imx8mm.

Dear GauravS,

Thank you for the information.

2.Would you like me to the patch file do not support CYW4356.Likewise it do not support USB interface?
If we cannot, do you have any suggestions on this?

source build/envsetup.sh
lunch evk_8mm-userdebug

c.It is our compiler results(ref:for your information#1 : codes are not patched in imx8mm-evk.dts

It appears still some errors.
