Atheros Communications AR6001 WLAN Driver for SDIO installation Read Me March 26,2007 (based on

Use this README for building Atheros AR6000 (SDIO or CF interface) WLAN device driver for CEPC platform.

1. When the release package is extracted, it would have created the package inder AR6K_DRV directory.

2. FOR SDIO, create a directory  <WINCE_ROOT>\PRIVATE\AR6K_SDIO.  FOR CF, create a directory  <WINCE_ROOT>\PRIVATE\AR6K_CF

3. In this document <BUSTYPE> refers to either CF or SDIO.

4. Copy AR6K_DRV\{host, include, dirs} to <WINCE_ROOT>\PRIVATE\AR6K_<BUSTYPE>.

5. Copy AR6K_DRV\host\os\wince\<BUSTYPE>\{*.bib, *.reg, sources.cmn} to <WINCE_ROOT>\PRIVATE\AR6K_<BUSTYPE>.

6. Rename or copy the file <WINCE_ROOT>\PRIVATE\AR6K_<BUSTYPE>\host\hif\dirs.<BUSTYPE> as <WINCE_ROOT>\PRIVATE\AR6K_<BUSTYPE>\host\hif\dirs


7. For CF, refer the section "SOFTWARE SETUP" in  AR6kSophiaCF-quick-start-guide.doc. Apply the patch mentioned in "step 6.C for file C:\WINCE500\PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\DRIVERS\PCCARD\MDD\pcmtuple.cpp" and "step 6.d for file C:\WINCE500\PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\DRIVERS\PCCARD\MDD\pcmciaen.cpp"

8. Open platform builder and create a new platform. 
  
9. Set up the following ENV variables. Go to the Platform--->Settings menu. In the dialog box that appears, choose the environment tab and add the following ENV variables.

	Var_Name	Var_Value
	---------	---------
	BSP_SDHC_ELLEN	1   // Add this entry only for ELLEN SDIO host controller

10. Do "Build OS"->"Build & Sysgen".
	[Make sure that "Clean before building", "Copy Files to Release dir after build" and "Make RunTimeImage after build" are checked]

11. Choose "Project->Insert->Existing Project".  In the file types choose sources/dirs. Select D:\WINCE500\PRIVATE\AR6K_<BUSTYPE>\dirs

12. In the workspace window, choose "File view". Build AR6K_<BUSTYPE> project by doing a right click on AR6K_<BUSTYPE> in the file view.  [Make sure that "Clean before building" and "Make RunTimeImage after build" are checked]. This will build the AR6K_NDIS_<BUSTYPE>.dll into NK.BIN.

13. For the list of oids supported and AR6000 driver registry configurable parameters, refer to the WinCEAppendix.doc 

14. For building AR6000 applications and for upgrading the AR6000 firmware, use the AR6kSophiaApps-quick-start-guide.doc as a guideline.
