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].
|
