1 | Community AR9170 Linux firmware |
2 | ----------------------- | |
3 | ||
4 | This is the firmware for the Atheros ar9170 802.11n devices. | |
5 | ||
6 | To build the firmware you will need an SH-2 toolchain. | |
7 | You can build your own toolchain: | |
8 | ||
9 | make -C toolchain | |
10 | ||
11 | but be aware that this will take some time and requires | |
12 | about 1.2 GiB disk space. | |
13 | ||
14 | The resulting firmware, carl9170.fw, can be used only | |
15 | with the carl9170 Linux driver. | |
16 | ||
17 | After getting a toolchain, you will need to get more | |
18 | tools & libs: | |
19 | ||
20 | * gcc 4.4+ | |
21 | ||
22 | * gperf, bison/flex | |
23 | ||
24 | * cmake 2.8.0+ | |
25 | ||
26 | * libusb 1.0+ | |
27 | ||
28 | * SDL SDK 1.2.13+ | |
29 | ||
30 | afterwards, simply execute: | |
31 | ||
32 | autogen.sh | |
33 | ||
34 | to start the configuration and build process. | |
35 | ||
36 | if you want to "install" your own firmware, you can either | |
37 | do this manually, or by executing: | |
38 | ||
39 | autogen.sh install | |
40 | ||
41 | This will place a copy with the right filename [adds API rev] | |
42 | into /lib/firmware/[the default path on most Distributions]. | |
