VAR-SOM-MX6 - PCIE
Test for device
We are using Intel 7260 wireless device to test PCIE.
Check the bus:
$ dmesg | grep -i pcie [ 3.750038] imx6q-pcie 1ffc000.pcie: PCI host bridge to bus 0000:00 [ 3.831355] pcieport 0000:00:00.0: Signaling PME through PCIe PME interrupt [ 3.837040] pci 0000:01:00.0: Signaling PME through PCIe PME interrupt [ 3.842274] pcie_pme 0000:00:00.0:pcie01: service driver pcie_pme loaded [ 3.842382] aer 0000:00:00.0:pcie02: service driver aer loaded
Serach for devices:
$ lspci The output should look like: 00:00.0 PCI bridge: Device 16c3:abcd (rev 01) 01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)
Kernel configuration adding Intel 7260 device driver
Note: We assume that you are familiar with kernel manipulation. If not, please refer to the "Build the Linux kernel from source code" wiki page
Configure wireless LAN support in Networking.
Configure general driver.
Configure Intel wireless LAN driver.
- Build the kernel and modules and install them to your target
- Copy the appropriate firmware to /lib/firmware/ on the rootfs of your target.
The firmware can be downloaded either from the iwlwifi Linux Wireless wiki page or from linux-firmware.git.
Make sure you get the one that matches your kernel version, or just copy all of them (iwlwifi-7260-*.ucode).
- Boot your target.
