Peripherals + currently sold at the general market include WLAN/BT modules, + cameras, fingerprint readers, and barcode scanners. + Additionally SDIO is used to connect some peripherals in + products like Chromebooks and Wandboard. A prototype of the + driver for the Marvell SDIO WLAN/BT (Avastar 88W8787) module + is also being developed, using the existing Linux driver as + the reference.</p> + + <p>SDIO card detection and initialization already work, most + needed bus methods are implemented and tested.</p> + + <p>WiFi driver is able to load a firmware onto the card and + initialize it. A rewrite of the MMC stack as a transport + layer for CAM framework is in progress. This will allow to + utilize the well-tested CAM locking model and debug features.</p> + </body> + + <help> + <task>SDIO stack: finish CAM migration. The initialization of + MMC/SD card is implemented in the XPT layer, but cannot be + tested with the real hardware because of lack of any device + drivers that implement peripheral drivers and SIMs for CAM + MMC. The plan is to use a modified version of BeagleBone Black + SDHCI controller driver for SIM and a modified version of + mmcsd(4) as a peripheral driver.</task> + + <task>Marvell SDIO WiFi: connect to the &os; network stack, + write the code to implement required functions (such as + sending/receiving data, network scanning and so on).</task> + </help> + </project> </report> _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-doc-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
