 Post subject: Support for Marvell 88w8686 on Android4SAM for wifi

I'm using an SDIO card that has the Marvell 88w8686 SOC in it. I'm using the 'libertas' driver. When I connect this card to my AT91SAM9G45-EKES board that has 'Android4SAM' running on it, the driver loads and asks for the firmware files. I want to transfer the firmware files, 'helper_sd.bin' and 'sd8686.bin' to '/sys/firmware' on the target board (found setup info at the following link: http://www.at91.com/linux4sam/bin/view/ ... iSolutions). The firmware files are present on a sd card. But since the 'cp' command is not recognized, I'm not able to copy the firmware files. Is there any other method to copy these files?

Also when I connect a USB cable between the board and PC (windows XP), the PC recognizes the board as an android device. But I'm not able to load a USB driver for this device. Can you please tell me how to install the corresponding USB driver?

Regards,

Sudhindra Nayak

You can use busybox to copy files.You can build it by yourself.Source url: http://www.busybox.net/
Put the binary on a sd card,try the "mv" command to move the binary to Android file system.

The driver is located in Android developer website :http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

As you suggested, I implemented the procedure to install the USB driver mentioned in the following link:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

But I'm still not able to load a USB driver for the Android4SAM device. The 'found new hardware wizard' says: "Can't install hardware" even though I'm pointing the wizard to the driver folder.

Any suggestions??

I have tested the driver on my AT91SAM9M10-G45-EK and AT91SAM9M10-EK-ES board,it worked.If the driver for Windows does not work on AT91SAM9G45-EKES board,you may try Linux OS.Our next release will support AT91SAM9G45-EKES,then you can have the driver installed.
