The former targets for end users who are not familiar with Linux system, while the later for engineers who want to port our Wi‐Fi driver onto different platforms. 2‐2‐1. Using install.sh Script for PC‐Linux For driver compilation and installation in PC‐Linux, we provide an install.sh script to do the duties automatically. If you want to use our Wi‐Fi solutions to access network on PC‐Linux, you can just run install.sh script and then control Wi‐Fi with utilities such as Network Manager. For further information about Wi‐Fi station mode, please refer to: document/Quick_Start_Guide_for_Station_Mode.pdf. If you want to apply our Wi‐Fi solutions on other embedded platforms, you should read and check the following paragraphs. 2‐2‐2. Decompress the driver source tar ball The driver source tar ball is located in the driver folder of our software package. For example, to decompress rtl8188C_8192C_8192D_usb_linux_v3.3.0_2920.20111123.tar.gz: root@driver/# tar zxvf rtl8188C_8192C_8192D_usb_linux_v3.3.0_2920.20111123.tar.gz2 2‐3. Selecting Chip Type with make_drv Script (for compound release) Our driver source release has two types: 1) single release, which can build out driver only for single chip type, and 2) compound release, which can build out drivers for multiple chip types separately. For compound release driver, you will see make_drv script after you decompress the driver tar ball located in driver folder. Before compiling driver source, executing the make_drv to select the target chip type to compile. For example: root@rtl8188C_8192C_8192D_usb_linux_v3.3.0_2920.20111123# ./make_drv Please select chip type(1/2): 1) RTL8192cu 2) RTL8192du #? 1 You have selected RTL8192cu 2‐4. Compilation Settings in Makefile 2‐4.1. Adding or Selecting Target Platform The default target platform is PC‐Linux, if you do not want to compile driver for other platforms you can skip this section. To add or select target platform for compilation, we provide two sections in Makefile: 1) platform selection section and 2) platform setting section. First, you should look at the platform selection section of Makefile: CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = y CONFIG_PLATFORM_ANDROID_X86 = n CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_S3C2K4 = n CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_PXA2XX = n CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_S3C6K4 = n CONFIG_PLATFORM_MIPS_RMI = n CONFIG_PLATFORM_RTD2880B = n CONFIG_PLATFORM_MIPS_AR9132 = n CONFIG_PLATFORM_MT53XX = n CONFIG_PLATFORM_RTK_DMP = n The platform selection section consists of entries with ‘CONFIG_PLATFORM_’ prefix. Only one entry is allowed to be set with value ‘y’ and others with ‘n’. The 3 ‘CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC’ is selected by default. We can select an existing entry or add a new entry for your target platform. For example, to add and select a new entry, ‘CONFIG_PLATFORM_NEW’: CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n CONFIG_PLATFORM_NEW = y Second, you should create and/or modify the corresponding entry inside platform setting section. For example, adding the following entry in platform setting section for ‘CONFIG_PLATFORM_NEW’ we just add: ifeq ($(CONFIG_PLATFORM_NEW), y) EXTRA_CFLAGS += ‐DCONFIG_LITTLE_ENDIAN ARCH := arm CROSS_COMPILE := /opt/ new/toolchain/arm‐eabi‐4.4.3/bin/arm‐eabi‐ KSRC := /opt /new/kernel endif 2.4.2. Platform Setting Section in Detail EXTRA_CFLAGS The EXTRA_CFLAGS is usually Effect used to carry some additional settings at compilation time through macro definitions. Macro CONFIG_BIG_ENDIAN Define some internal data structure as big endian. CONFIG_LITTLE_ENDIAN Define some internal data structure as little endian. CONFIG_MINIMAL_MEMORY_USAGE For better performance in powerful platform, we allocate large physical continuous memory as TX/RX IO buffers. In some embedded platform, there is chance to fail to allocate memory. Define this macro to prevent this situation. CONFIG_PLATFORM_ANDROID Older Android kernel do not has CONFIG_ANDROID defined. Define this macro to force the Android corresponding code inside our driver to be compiled. For newer Android kernel, it has no need to define this macro, otherwise, warning message about redefinition will show up 2‐3 Glossary 1. What is the IEEE 802.11g standard? 802.11g is the new IEEE standard for high‐speed wireless LAN communications that provides for up to 54 Mbps data rate in the 2.4 GHz band. 802.11g is quickly becoming the next mainstream wireless LAN technology for the home, office and public networks. 802.11g defines the use of the same OFDM modulation technique specified in IEEE 802.11a for the 5 GHz frequency band and applies it in the same 2.4 GHz frequency band as IEEE 802.11b. The 802.11g standard requires backward compatibility with 802.11b. The standard specifically calls for: A. A new physical layer for the 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) in the 2.4 GHz frequency band, known as the extended rate PHY (ERP). The ERP adds OFDM as a mandatory new coding scheme for 6, 12 and 24 Mbps (mandatory speeds), and 18, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps (optional speeds). The ERP includes the modulation schemes found in 802.11b including CCK for 11 and 5.5 Mbps and Barker code modulation for 2 and 1 Mbps. B. A protection mechanism called RTS/CTS that governs how 802.11g devices and 802.11b devices interoperate. 2. What is the IEEE 802.11b standard? The IEEE 802.11b Wireless LAN standard subcommittee, which formulates the standard for the industry. The objective is to enable wireless LAN hardware from different manufactures to communicate. 3. What does IEEE 802.11 feature support? The product supports the following IEEE 802.11 functions: CSMA/CA plus Acknowledge Protocol Multi‐Channel Roaming Automatic Rate Selection RTS/CTS Feature Fragmentation Power Management 4. What is Ad‐hoc? An Ad‐hoc integrated wireless LAN is a group of computers, each has a Wireless LAN module, Connected as an independent wireless LAN. Ad hoc wireless LAN is applicable at a departmental scale for a branch or SOHO operation. 5. What is Infrastructure? An integrated wireless and wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. Infrastructure is applicable to enterprise scale for wireless access to central database, or wireless application for mobile workers. 6. What is BSS ID? A specific Ad hoc LAN is called a Basic Service Set (BSS). Computers in a BSS must be configured with the same BSS ID. 7. What is WEP? WEP is Wired Equivalent Privacy, a data privacy mechanism based on a 40 bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802 .11 standard. 8. What is TKIP? TKIP is a quick‐fix method to quickly overcome the inherent weaknesses in WEP security, especially the reuse of encryption keys. TKIP is involved in the IEEE 802.11i WLAN security standard, and the specification might be officially released by early 2003. 9. What is AES? AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), a chip‐based security, has been developed to ensure the highest degree of security and authenticity for digital information, wherever and however communicated or stored, while making more efficient use of hardware and/or software than previous encryption standards. It is also included in IEEE 802.11i standard. Compare with AES, TKIP is a temporary protocol for replacing WEP security until manufacturers implement AES at the hardware level. 10. Can Wireless products support printer sharing? Wireless products perform the same function as LAN products. Therefore, Wireless products can work with Netware, Windows 2000, or other LAN operating systems to support printer or file sharing. 11. Would the information be intercepted while transmitting on air? WLAN features two‐fold protection in security. On the hardware side, as with Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum technology, it has the inherent security feature of scrambling. On the software side, WLAN series offer the encryption function (WEP) to enhance security and Access Control. Users can set it up depending upon their needs. 10 12. What is DSSS? What is FHSS? And what are their differences? Frequency‐hopping spread‐spectrum (FHSS) uses a narrowband carrier that changes frequency in a pattern that is known to both transmitter and receiver. Properly synchronized, the net effect is to maintain a single logical channel. To an unintended receiver, FHSS appears to be short‐duration impulse noise. Direct‐sequence spread‐spectrum (DSSS) generates a redundant bit pattern for each bit to be transmitted. This bit pattern is called a chip (or chipping code). The longer the chip is, the greater the probability that the original data can be recovered. Even if one or more bits in the chip are damaged during transmission, statistical techniques embedded in the radio can recover the original data without‐the need for retransmission. To an unintended receiver, DSSS appears as low power wideband noise and is rejected (ignored) by most narrowband receivers. 13. What is Spread Spectrum? Spread Spectrum technology is a wideband radio frequency technique developed by the military for use in reliable, secure, mission‐critical communication systems. It is designed to trade off bandwidth efficiency for reliability, integrity, and security. In other words, more bandwidth is consumed than in the case of narrowband transmission, but the trade off produces a signal that is, in effect, louder and thus easier to detect, provided that the receiver knows the parameters of the spread‐spectrum signal being broadcast. If a receiver is not tuned to the right frequency, a spread –spectrum signal looks like background noise. There are two main alternatives, Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS). 14. What is WPS? WPS stands for Wi‐Fi Protected Setup. It provides a simple way to establish unencrypted or encrypted connections between wireless clients and access point automatically. User can press a software or hardware button to activate WPS function, and WPS‐compatible wireless clients and access point will establish connection by themselves. There are two types of WPS: PBC (Push‐Button Configuration) and PIN code. 11
