3.1 wifi 适配层代码框架结构分析

Wifi 配置整体框架图如下：

 

 

                        APP

               

 

 

      

      无线接口层（WMI）

 

 

 

 

        SDIO DRIVER

 

 

 

 

        AR6003 devices

 

 

wlan无线接口层（wmi）向上给APP提供接口与wifiAR6003驱动通信，使得上层应用程序可以对wifi芯片进行适配，满足应用需求，向下通过sdio驱动向wifi芯片下发配置命令，配置wifi各项参数。

具体配置命令是通过sdio驱动来实现的，sdio驱动通过ioctl系统调用直接控制wifi AR6003芯片，向上层提供一堆的ioctl调用接口。为了管理这些接口

高通写了一个应用程序wmiconfig进程来管理这些系统调用命令。上层其他APP只需要调用wmiconfig进程通过传入不同的参数来实现对wifi的配置。Wmiconfig进程中会去解析其他APP传入的命令行参数，然后调用相应的ioctl系统调用。

Wmiconfig进程的代码框架结构如下：

 

 ――――――main（）：函数入口

         

         ――getopt_long（）：解析命令行参数 通过switch case结构处理所有命令分支，因为命令非常多，所以caase分支非常庞大。

 

         －－ioctl（）：命令解析完成后，执行相应的系统命令调用，调用过程同样通过switch case来区分不同的调用分支。

 

  图1

 

如图1所示，wmiconfig代码结构非常简单，解析参数，执行ioctl系统调用，调用完成函数退出。主要难点是理清各种不同的ioctl命令作用，只有充分了解这些系统调用的作用才能正确使用这些系统调用实现softAP的功能。

 

下面贴出AR6003芯片所有的ioctl配置命令：
