Part Number:AM1705
Tool/software: Linux
Hello guys,
I want to connect the TP-Link WN725N to my custom AM1705 board for internet access. After some modifications to the board-da830-evm.c file I have been able to have the USB port working in Linux. The Linux version I'm using is the one from the DaVinci-PSP-SDK-03.22.00.04 software package.
When plugging the WP-Link dongle, the following text is shown in the console:
usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using musb-hdrc
usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=8179
usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
usb 1-1: Product: 802.11n NIC
usb 1-1: Manufacturer: Realtek
usb 1-1: SerialNumber: 00E04C0001
After searching the web for "Realtek 00E04C0001", I found the driver's source code at http://www.realtek.com.tw/Downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=55&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
The problem I'm facing right now, is that I don't know how to crosscompile a driver and then install it on my system.
At the moment, the kernel as well as the rootfs are mounted through NFS and TFTP sourced from my desktop PC. The kernel was compiled using the Codesourcery toolchain.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Patricio
