2 Getting Latest Wireless Driver and Firmware Fixes


For latest Wireless driver and firmware fixes, please refer Incremental Releases section of each release as shown in
below figure.

For example,
https://www.nxp.com/design/software/embedded-software/i-mx-software/android-os-for-i-mx-applications-
processors:IMXANDROID

For downloading the Wi-Fi driver and Wireless firmware releases, please refer the user guide “How to Download
and Build NXP Wi-Fi Drivers” from the wireless chipset documentation page on nxp.com.

For example, Navigate to the user guide on 88W8997 wireless chipset documentation page as below:
Wi-Fi® + Bluetooth® > 88W8997 > Documentation

Note:
• UART driver source code is opensource and part of the Linux kernel source.
• UART driver source code used for Bluetooth is NOT part of the release package and it can be downloaded
from the kernel.org.

Note:
P2P-GO and STA simultaneous mode operations
In this case, P2P-GO and STA modes are active simultaneously where STA has connected to an external AP. If the
external-AP switches channel, the P2P-GO stops in case of i.MX Android. The Wi-Fi firmware does not support Dual
Channel Radio Concurrency. It means P2P-GO and STA cannot stay on two different channels simultaneously.
In Android, there is only a single wpa_supplicant instance. It would disable the least prioritized interface (P2P) and
stop the P2P. In this wpa_supplicant behavior, the firmware does not get a chance to move the P2P-GO to the same
channel as STA.
Work-Around: The variable num_multichan_concurrent can be assigned value 2 in the function
sme_send_authentication of the file "sme.c" [filepath:
android_build/external/wpa_supplicant_8/wpa_supplicant/] in wpa_supplicant source.
After this change, supplicant will not stop the P2P-GO and allow the firmware to move P2P-GO on the same channel
as STA.
How to apply changes:
In wpa_supplicant source, the function wiphy_info_iface_comb_process at line 195 of file
src/drivers/driver_nl80211_capa.c, the num_channels variable should be set to 2.
if (combination_has_p2p && combination_has_mgd) {
- unsigned int num_channels =
- nla_get_u32(tb_comb[NL80211_IFACE_COMB_NUM_CHANNELS]);
+ unsigned int num_channels = 2;
After you have implemented the changes described above, build wpa_supplicant. Now, you can see P2P-GO on the
same channel as STA when external-AP switches the channel.
