rtl8189es driver?

[theRat]

I recently got a device that looks exactly the same as the minix (mk805?), but instead of it having minix printed on the case it has Smartbox.

This device actually contains an a10s processor, axp152 pmu and a rtl8189es wifi chip.

Does anyone know if there is a driver available for the rtl8189es?  It is a sdio/mmc based device.  The android script.bin for the device contains the following:

[sdio_wifi_para]

sdio_wifi_used = 1

sdio_wifi_sdc_id = 1

sdio_wifi_mod_sel = 10

rtl8189es_shdn = port:PB18<1><default><default><0>

rtl8189es_wakeup = port:PB17<1><default><default><1>

rtl8189es_vdd_en = port:PA03<1><default><default><0>

rtl8189es_vcc_en = port:PA04<1><default><default><0>

Hans,

Thanks for that info.

After some more scratching around I also found this site.

http://service.i-onik.de/a10_source_1.5/lichee/

This source code has a few extra sdio wifi cards including the one I am looking for.  Currently downloading to see if it actually works.

If you do, and can port it to 3.0/3.4; patches welcome :)

I have already merged in the 8188eu wifi driver into my repository here https://github.com/npeacock/linux-sunxi/commit/d37e534b012904c9ac69635120a88864a21341b7

I think thats the same one you need.  I have been testing and working with it for a few months now, everything seems to fine.  The commit was too big to send as a patch to the mailing list.

Neal,

I believe you have done most of the work as that appears to include all the network drivers.

There is however one area of the code you missed for the sdio stuff.  Since the the sdio drivers rely on mmc as the underlying hardware interface there are some changes in the /drivers/mmc/pm_mmc directory that also need to be included.

I will apply your changes (once I figure out how to download them) and apply to a fresh stage-3.0 and then make the changes to the mmc so see if it works.

Thanks very much for your efforts :)

Cheers

Simon

Neal,

Today I downloaded you patch for the realtek drivers and applied it to a fresh stage/sunxi-3.0.  I had a problem in that recently another patch has been applied that contains a subset of yours (the 8188eu stuff).  I just blew that away and reverted the Kconfig and Makefile so I could apply you code.

I ported the extra bits in the pm_mmc directory and now have the 8189es wifi working.

Are you able to get your patch sorted and submitted?  If you can I will then do a patch for the other bits for the SDIO cards.

Cheers

Simon

For anyone else wishing to test this, here is a more detailed description of what I did.

1. Delete drivers/net/wireless/rtl8188eu directory

2. Remove references to rtl8188 in drivers/net/wireless/Kconfig and drivers/net/wireless/Makefile

3. Download Neal's patch from https://github.com/npeacock/linux-sunxi/commit/d37e534b012904c9ac69635120a88864a21341b7.patch and apply it.

4. Download https://www.dropbox.com/s/3nvttsp96sjgjnb/mmc_pm.tar.gz and place the files in drivers/mmc/mmc-pm

5. Enable the driver in the config and build

Hope this helps.

Simon

I think when I tried this before the patch was just too big to be mailed.  I looked at a pull request to the community repo but it would have brought it an bunch of other changes as well so that was no good.

I've honestly got zero time.  If you wanted to work out how to submit it as a patch you are welcome to all the credit.

theRat,
Hello. do you have a lubuntu img working with Wi fi module for mk805 a10s?

[theRat]

Nothing that is reliable, the NIC stops working after a few days.  My image is a real hack from before Hans started adding A10S support.

[gtsits...@gmail.com]

can you please reupload the driver?
