Beagle Wlan adapter

[Maxim Podbereznyy]

Hi guys!

Does any one know when Beagle WLAN adapter be available for
purchasing? I can see it at the Beagleboardtoys.com but the link is
not available.

[Gerald Coley]

Right now we they are looking for SW support on it from TI. TI failed to provide support as promised. Until that happens, it will not be sold. Supposedly there is progress on that front, but nothing solid. It was sold for a shor time, but with no support, it was pulled.

Gerald,

does design represented on the picture at beagleboardtoys work or not?

2011/11/16 Gerald Coley <ger...@beagleboard.org>:

[Gerald Coley]

Yes. It does work. But only on 3.0. At the time of the initial release 3.0 was not ready and there are no drivers for the earlier versions of the kernel.

 

Gerald

[Maxim Podbereznyy]

Gerald, and what is wrong with 3.0 if it works? Why don't you release
the board with 3.0 and wifi will just work?

Does it have the WL1271 chip under the hood like the other wifi modules from LS Research?

[Gerald Coley]

They may do it. But there are other issues involved like being able to get the WIFI modules. You need them in order to be able to build the boards. I will check with them.

 

Gerald

[Gerald Coley]

Yes. And, they do have about 10 boards and I convinced them to start selling them again.

Gerald,

unveil the secret: is WL1271 connected to BB as defined here?

2011/11/16 Gerald Coley <ger...@beagleboard.org>:

[Gerald Coley]

I don't know. I was not involved in its creation.

Since I could not buy one of these boards, I wired up the same LSR module on a veroboard using the circuit used on the Beagle Wlan and the WL12xx driver in 3.04 worked fine.

Hello John!

Can you share a scheme how you connected LSR module to BB? I have a
vew LSR modules but don't know how to connect them to BB-xM.

HI,

    Could you tell me what USB wifi dongle you are using on BeagleBoard-xM. Please tell me because i am going to buy it.

Thanks

Does anybody know if it is necessary to provide 32kHz clock source to
Tiwi-R2 module? It is stated in the datasheet but I'm not sure that it
is a demand.

Thanks!

John, is the veroboard running Linux, or are you running C directly on
the processor with no OS?

I guess there is no open source driver available. So Linux is the only option

I followed the BeagleBoard Wlan schematic. You need a 3.3V voltage regulator
and a 32.768KHz oscillator. The LSR module will not respond without the
32.768KHz oscillator. The veroboard is just a 1.25mm pitch prototype board
and I used 30 AWG wire to connect the LSR module to the board. I have about
5mm between the LSR module and the prototype board since the holes on the
board don't line up with the LSR module. I hope this helps.

Regards,
John

Yes, you will need this clock or else the LSR module will not respond.

The veroboard is a 1.25mm prototype board used to connect the LSR module to
the Beagle-xM expansion connector.

Hey John!

Thanks a lot for such great instructions!

Also, the Windows CE driver works just fine.

very boring video and I could not stand to see as Internet works
through wifi! A man never showed Internet!
thumb down.

you can search through the groups but there is nothing promising

Seems to work fine on my Beagle xM. ;)

Or are asking something specific such as 'after connecting to a wifi
ap, does bluetooth still work?'

Robert,

I have not test it. But does it?

Will test it tonight at home... the wifi is pretty jammed/locked at
work so it's usually too noisy to test at my desk.. I know my panda's
wifi/bluetooth work at the same time at home..

[Maxim Podbereznyy]

I believe both boards have the same wlan chip

Yeap, it's the TIWI-R2 on both the beaglexm_wifi adapter and the
original panda... I believe the panda_es has a ble variant of the r2..

Hi,

We are trying to get the wifi connectivity for beagle board XM using wl12xx on sdio interface. Can you please mention which module you have used and the connections to beagle board. Did you get linux image that directly worked without any modifications? We have ubuntu 12.04 running on the beagle board (without wifi connected). so was thinking whether we will have to tweak the linux source and rebuild it or just setting 'buddy=bbtoys-wifi' in the uEnv.txt will enable the specific sdio interface for wifi wl12xx.

Apart from this, the wl1271 is having bluetooth functionality. So as you mentioned the question was - 'after connecting to a wifi

ap, does bluetooth still work?'

Thanks,
