4.1 Functional Block Diagram

4.2 RTL8192DU

5 Porting
5.1 Kernel porting

Download driver for https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8192du

Change top level Makefile

-CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n      

+CONFIG_PLATFORM_TI_AM3517 = y


ifeq ($(CONFIG_PLATFORM_TI_AM3517), y)

Endif

Then compile driver

make modules

rtl8192du.ko on top-level……

5.2 Application Interface
After the wifi module rtl8192du driver was loaded , we can find wlan0 wlan1 network devices
