2 How to build on x86

2.1 Untar package

# untar zxvf ATH6KL-LSDK-WLAN-AIO-3.2.1.x.tgz

 

2.2 Change to build directory

# cd build

 

2.3 Modify Makefile.x86

Modify build/scripts/x86-combo/Makefile.x86-combo as bellow

2.4 Apply driver patches

# make drivers_patch BOARD_TYPE=x86-combo

 

2.5 Convert firmware from .bin to .h

# make drivers_firmware_transfer BOARD_TYPE=x86-combo

# cp build/scripts/x86 build/scripts/<other platform>

# mv build/scripts/x86/config.x86 build/scripts/x86/<other platform>/config.<other platform>

# mv build/scripts/x86/Makefile.x86 build/scripts/x86/<other platform>/Makefile.<other platform>

 

3.2 Modify toolchain and kernel path in config file

Edit build/scripts/<other platform>/config.<other platform>, and assign toolchain and kernel path in

environmental variables bellow.

- KERNELPATH

- KERNELARCH

- TOOLPREFIX

 

3.3 Follow the same steps as “2. How to build on x86” to build the driver and
