Community AR9170 Linux firmware
|
||
|
|
-----------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is the firmware for the Atheros ar9170 802.11n devices.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To build the firmware you will need an SH-2 toolchain.
|
||
|
|
You can build your own toolchain:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
make -C toolchain
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
but be aware that this will take some time and requires
|
||
|
|
about 1.2 GiB disk space.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The resulting firmware, carl9170.fw, can be used only
|
||
|
|
with the carl9170 Linux driver.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After getting a toolchain, you will need to get more
|
||
|
|
tools & libs:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* gcc 4.4+
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* gperf, bison/flex
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* cmake 2.8.0+
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* libusb 1.0+
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* SDL SDK 1.2.13+
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
afterwards, simply execute:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
autogen.sh
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
to start the configuration and build process.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
if you want to "install" your own firmware, you can either
|
||
|
|
do this manually, or by executing:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
autogen.sh install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This will place a copy with the right filename [adds API rev]
|
||
|
|
into /lib/firmware/[the default path on most Distributions].
