qca wlan wifi modules 解析一

分析lsdk-ap121 lsdk-ap134 源码： https://github.com/hades13/lsdk_ar9531 包含wifi drivers

wifi drivers 在drivers目录下：

drivers\
    firmware\  
    wlan_modules\
            adf  
            asf  
            hal  
            include  
            LicenseChoice.txt  
            lmac  
            Notice.txt  
            os  
            smartantenna  
            umac  
            wow
复制代码

编译之后生成内核ko文件，在启动时会insmod，在文件 rootfs/board953x/etc/rc.d/rc.wlan

rc.wlan启动时执行：

#
# Finally, insert the modules
#
    insmod $MODULE_PATH/adf.ko
    insmod $MODULE_PATH/asf.ko
    insmod $MODULE_PATH/ath_hal.ko
    insmod $MODULE_PATH/ath_rate_atheros.ko
    insmod $MODULE_PATH/ath_spectral.ko $SPECTRAL_ARGS
    if [ "${AP_NO_A_BAND}" != "1" ]; then
        #load DFS if A band is supported,default is supported and set AP_NO_A_BAND=1 if not supported
        insmod $MODULE_PATH/ath_dfs.ko $DFS_ARGS
    fi
    insmod $MODULE_PATH/hst_tx99.ko
    insmod $MODULE_PATH/ath_dev.ko
    insmod $MODULE_PATH/umac.ko
    insmod $MODULE_PATH/wlan_me.ko
    insmod $MODULE_PATH/ath_pktlog.ko
复制代码

查看编译后生成的文件：

./asf/asf.ko
./os/linux/ath_hal/ath_hal.ko
./smartantenna/smart_antenna.ko
./adf/adf.ko
./lmac/ath_dev/ath_dev.ko
./lmac/ratectrl/ath_rate_atheros.ko
./lmac/ath_pktlog/ath_pktlog.ko
./umac/umac.ko
