Show LessHi there,
We are trying to fcc wifi certify our project which uses a custom buildroot toolchain and arm processor.
We need help to compile the wl_tool so we can proceed with certification, but we need it to be cross compiled for our architecture (arm 32bit).
Can I ask a representative to help us to compile it with our custom toolchain?
CPU Info:
- armv7l
- little-endian
- hard-float ABI
- neon/vfpv4
Custom Toolchain Instructions:
- download toolchain
- extract toolchain:
tar jxf arm-co6-linux-uclibcgnueabihf_sdk-buildroot_2021.02.1.tar.xz - cd to arm-co6-linux-uclibcgnueabihf_sdk-buildroot
- ./relocate_sdk.sh
- add toolchain into path e.g.
export PATH="$PATH:$PWD/usr/bin" - Set cross compile variables:
export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-co6-linux-uclibcgnueabihf-
Tagging @VinayakS_26 / @raks_99 / @DoubleLo as I found they have helped another customer to do this.

Hi Sir,
Hi Sir,
我用的平台是IMX6 ,LINUX环境,DHD driver,CYW43438运行在STA 模式。
目前考虑到功耗问题,想要通过调节DTIM的值,改变监听的间隔,从而达到省电的目的,但是在DHD driver里面改了一些参数,没有起到作用,也尝试通过wl dtim命令设置,发现在连接AP之后,DTIM会自动改变,应该是AP侧的DTIM值。
所以,想咨询下CYW43438在STA模式下,是否可以通过驱动修改DTIM值,如何修改呢?谢谢~
BR,
Leo
Show LessI'm using RPi4 (which utilizes CYW43455) for communicating with a BLE peripherial devices via gatttool:
# gatttool -b OTHERWORKINGDEVICE --characteristics
handle = 0x0002, char properties = 0x0a, char value handle = 0x0003, uuid = 00002a00-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb
...
I have at least 3 peripherial devices which I can query with gatttool.
But there is one device which timeouts 9 times of 10 during connection:
# gatttool -b NOTWORKINGDEVICE --characteristics
connect error: Connection timed out (110)
Now I could consider the "notworkingdevice" faulty. But "unfortunately" it is working from other devices (phones, with nRF Connect application) without any issues.
So I have hooked up a Bluetooth Link Layer Sniffer and took some measurements during the Pi tries to connect:
Some legend:
- Orange-filled box is the "faulty" device (BLE Peripherial)
- Red-filled box is the Pi (BLE Central)
- Red rectangles: marks channel change
I believe those Client Rx MTU requests are coming from the Peripherial (based on their Signal dBm).
However I tried running btmon on the Pi during the connection and it is simply not showing these MTU Requests. It seems Pi sends out a "LE Read Remote Used Features" and timeouts while waiting for the answer (I also tried increasing the timeout, but it did not help):
< HCI Command: LE Read Remote Used... (0x08|0x0016) plen 2 #11 [hci0] 7.477210
Handle: 64
> HCI Event: Command Status (0x0f) plen 4 #12 [hci0] 7.479342

LE Encryption
Extended Reject Indication
Slave-initiated Features Exchange
LE Data Packet Length Extension
I also tried to put the peripherial very close (<1.5m) to the Pi and nothing has changed.
RPi's firmware is updated, it's on 5.4.47-v7l+.
I took multiple sniffs and the communication is always the same: only requests, no response. The periperial tries to ask for MTU change but never gets reply. And the Pi is waiting for LE Read Remote Used Features but never gets reply and timeouts.
Given the above facts, what are my options to further investigate what causes the problem?
Is it possible to update the Cypress module itself? Or query it's version?
Thank you.
Show LessHi,
We have a number of customers using Meraki routers that our product containing a 1DX cannot connect to unless they turn 20/40MHz coexistence off. We experience the same issue with our Netgear having to turn 20/40MHz coexistence off. I have carefully searched though the BCM43430 / 1DX documentation and cannot see any mention of 20/40MHz capability.
So does the 1DX ( currently using v5.4.18-2020_0402 firmware - and latest Linux kernel supported by murata GitHub - murata-wireless/meta-murata-wireless (branch imx-sumo-manda). ) have this capability?
If not, is there any work-around, setting etc that could be used to connect to these routers so customers don't have to sacrifice bandwidth for one product?
If is does, what could be causing a failure to connect?
Thanks.
Show LessHello,
We are experiencing a very similar issue to the unanswered ticket below:
Problem With Disconnecting 1DX when signal stregths is weak
Build is the latest Linux kernel supported by murata GitHub - murata-wireless/meta-murata-wireless (branch imx-sumo-manda). The board is a custom board based of the imx7dsabresd SDK with 1DX module ( Linux version 4.14.98 ).
We've updated to the latest FMAC version: v5.4.18-2020_0402 as proposed by the above ticket.
All wpa_supplicant family of tools are version 2.9
There are no issues connecting to an AP, but in a mesh system with all APs having the same SSID and passphrase we also get the brcmfmac "warn_slowpath_null" dmesg message unwind. Monitoring the signal strength and the "connected to AP MAC" of the APs within the mesh, the wpa_supplicant setting bgscan="simple:30:-50:300" has no effect. Between two AP's monitoring which one we're connect to the connection does not jump when the non-connected AP get stronger than -50. The change is only when the current connection goes out of range.
These maybe two separate issues - warn_slowpath, not disconnecting at -50 but there is certainly a relationship.
Exactly the same issues are seen on the earlier murata krogoth branch ( 4.9.88 ) using the very latest backport FMAC driver. The branch is still used in current production units so just as important.
Thanks.
Show LessHi,
I am using the 89459d0 chip which has fmac capability and the kernel we are using is 3.18.
So which driver should i use, fmac or dhd driver.?
What is dhd and fmac driver and what are its important functions(like what it does).
What are the difference between fmac and dhd driver.
And whether the power save mechanism like runtime PM, L1 and L1ss supported in fmac driver.
If it is not supported in fmac driver, can both the fmac and dhd driver be used at the same time?
Show LessHi,
I would like to investigate if the CYW4343W supports simultaneous connections as a slave (peripheral) to external masters (centrals).
Could anyone tell me if this can be achieved by the CYW4343W? And more specifically, through the Linux driver?
Many thanks,
Neil
Show LessWhen check WIFI regulatory power limit setting by "wl curpower", I observed that 20in80, 40in80 and 80MHz regulatory limit of 802.11ac 80MHz at low and middle 5GHz band are not the same, 20in80 and 40in80 are using the regulatory limit for 20MHz and 40MHz bandwidth respectively. On the contrary, 20in40 and 40MHz regulatory limit of 802.11ac 40MHz and 802.11n 40MHz are the same.
I want to know what is the limit setting of "20in80, 40in80" for? Regulatory power limit of 80MHz is not the limit of each 20MHz "sub-channel"?
Thanks!

Hi,
I understand Cypress has a proprietary bluetooth stack for linux called BSA. Is this supported for the 43455 chipset ?
If yes, whom can I contact to get more info on this stack?
Thanks and regards,
