A20集成rt5572驱动

驱动源码：DPO_RT5572_LinuxSTA_2.6.1.3_20121022

直接接入板子，安装驱动之后生成的节点名称叫ra0

对应修改hostapd配置文件，重启服务，提示failed

·        RT5572 USB ID 148f:5572 nativedriver available in Kernel 3.10.36+ (rt2800usb). For earlier kernel versions:under Raspbian, OpenELEC, raspbmc (neither under x86 Linux) for the Ralink 5572chipset but works using Ralink drivers (requiring compilation - guidance, requires source for the running kernel) including withwpa_supplicant. Supports dual band 2.4GHz/5GHz. No need for firmwareinstallation. Needs a powered hub.

A20内核版本是3.4.79，因此断定原因是A20内核驱动rt2800usb不支持rt5572

需要用到文章1）中提到的backport，即

“hi,

 

only for info:

TheDPO_RT5572_LinuxSTA_2.6.1.3_20121022.tar.gz / rt5572sta.ko-stuff does not work with sunxi-3.4.10x-kernel.

 

 

I got this "ralink rt5572" onkernel 3.4.10x to work with driver backports:

echo "see:https://backports.wi....php/Main_Page"

wget https://www.kernel.o....11.8-1.tar.bz2

tar xvf backports-3.12.8-1.tar.xz

cd backports-3.12.8-1

make defconfig-wifi

time make -J2

echo "BACKUP YOUR old 3.4.10x-modulesin /lib/modules/3.4.10xy /lib/modules/3.4.10xy_backup to  if you want toswitch back...ok?"

read

make install

reboot

本人使用backports-3.11.8-1.tar.bz2

需要修改Makefile：

#KLIB := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/

KLIB:=/opt/kaifaban/A20_SDK2015/linux-sdk-card/output/cb2/cb2-cubieez/card0-rootfs/lib/modules/3.4.79/

KLIB 表示内核模块目录

cd backports-3.11.8-1

make defconfig-wifi

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-

参考文章3

按照如下顺序安装驱动：

insmod compat.ko

insmod lib80211.ko

insmod cfg80211.ko（注意1）

insmod mac80211.ko

insmod rt2x00lib.ko

insmod rt2x00usb.ko

insmod rt2800lib.ko

insmod rt2800usb.ko

（以上ko都来自backports）

insmod rt5572sta.ko（来自DPO_RT5572_LinuxSTA_2.6.1.3_20121022）

 

此时ifconfig查看生成的节点名是wlan0，恢复hostpad配置文件

 

重启hostapd服务时，如果出如下打印

<4>ieee80211 phy0:rt2800usb_entry_txstatus_timeout: Warning - TX status timeout for entry 0 inqueue 0

ieee80211 phy0:rt2800usb_entry_txstatus_timeout: Warning - TX status timeout for entry 0 inqueue 0

请检查是否使用2A电源

20161117更新，后续测试发现，正常运行时，也会出现以上打印，怀疑和网卡驱动有关，出现如上打印时，严重影响网络传输性能。

进行如下修改测试：

注意1

cfg80211.ko确定使用的是backports的，需要重新配置a20内核和将自带的cfg80211驱动配置成模块方式（默认是builtin），因为这里需要使用backports生成的ko

方法是修改内核源码目录net/wireless/Kconfig

config CFG80211

         tristate"cfg80211 - wireless configuration API"

+       depends on m

         dependson RFKILL || !RFKILL

<3>cfg80211: exports duplicate symbol__ieee80211_get_channel (owned by kernel)

cfg80211: exports duplicate symbol__ieee80211_get_channel (owned by kernel)

将编译生成的ko集成到文件系统

cd /media/usrtest/softap/backport3.11(此处为虚拟机挂载到开发板的目录)

mkdir /lib/modules/3.4.79/kernel/compat

cp compat.ko/lib/modules/3.4.79/kernel/compat/

mkdir backup

cp/lib/modules/3.4.79/kernel/net/wireless/lib80211.ko backup/

cp lib80211.ko  /lib/modules/3.4.79/kernel/net/wireless/

cp cfg80211.ko/lib/modules/3.4.79/kernel/net/wireless/

cp/lib/modules/3.4.79/kernel/net/mac80211/mac80211.ko backup/ 

cp mac80211.ko/lib/modules/3.4.79/kernel/net/mac80211/

cp/lib/modules/3.4.79/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/ backup/ -r

cp rt2x00/*/lib/modules/3.4.79/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/

cp rt5572sta.ko/lib/modules/3.4.79/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtxx7x/

cd /lib/modules/3.4.79/

depmod -a

此时的3.4.79整个目录下的内容就可以直接拷贝到文件系统对应目录下了

经测试，最后通过SDK编译生成的镜像同时支持RT3070和RT5572

 

附图：Ubuntu 内核版本3.16.0-23-generic的menuconfig可以和A20的对比

 

 

 

问题解决：

rt5572sta: version magic '3.4.79 mod_unloadmodversions ARMv5 p2v8 ' should be '3.4.79 SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 p2v8

解决：

重新制定内核源码路径
