RT-WiFi v0.1
RT-WiFi driver v0.1. RT-WiFi driver is built on top of the ath9k driver in backports driver collection. This release v0.1 is based on backports driver v3.13.2. This version of RT-WiFi driver, we implement basic TDMA features with static TDMA link schedule based on our RTSS 2013 paper. Please go through the following user guide before you use this driver.

i download source of barrier breaker and write makefile in package/rtwifi/Makefile

include $(TOPDIR)/rules.mk
include $(INCLUDE_DIR)/kernel.mk
export KERNELDIR:=$(LINUX_DIR)

PKG_NAME:=rtwifi
PKG_VERSION:=0.1

PKG_SOURCE_URL:=(local host web server)
PKG_SOURCE:=1.tar.gz
PKG_MD5SUM:=602190cb1ccaa3c0302afb701f52aa1b
PKG_CAT:=zcat
PKGARCH:=mips

include $(INCLUDE_DIR)/package.mk

define KernelPackage/rtwifi
  SECTION:=libs
  CATEGORY:=Libraries
  TITLE:=A library that talks to Apple devices.
#  DEFAULT:=y
endef

define Build/Configure

endef

define Build/InstallDev

endef

define KernelPackage/rtwifi/install

endef

$(eval $(call KernelPackage,rtwifi))

and compille with

make package/rtwifi/install V=s

but building stop with error

Error: -march=mips32r2 is not compatible with the selected ABI
/home/botto/openwrt/build_dir/target-mips_34kc_uClibc-0.9.33.2/linux-ar71xx_generic/rtwifi-0.1/compat/main.c:1:0: error: '-march=mips32r2' is not compatible with the selected ABI
 #include <linux/module.h>

please help compilling this package sources and user guide can download from cs@utexas@edu/users/cps/rt-wifi@html
how to change arch easy or this release code oriented writed for x86-64 arch?

Oh, it's good to support TDMA. But where i can get the source package?

I think the following should enable ath10k but I get only a Kernel Oops on TP-Link with supposedly "rare" AR1A hardware
1. enable ath10k
in your trunk folder there is package/kernel/mac80211/Makefile
Patch it with the ath10k enable patch from the mailing list:
2. update mac80211 (compat-wireless) to backports (same project new name)
PKG_VERSION:=20130802
PKG_RELEASE:=1
PKG_SOURCE_URL:=(URL kernel org)/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/2013/08/02
PKG_SHA1SUM:=d8ca2b9405ec81c171470f60f526d10e841e74ebc526b1938350ea8f9871084e

PKG_SOURCE:=backports-$(PKG_VERSION).tar.bz2
PKG_BUILD_DIR:=$(KERNEL_BUILD_DIR)/backports-$(PKG_VERSION)
PKG_BUILD_PARALLEL:=1
and a line with "echo" in Build/prepare to the new name (backports instead of compat)
3. refresh patches of mac80211
make prepare
make package/kernel/mac80211/prepare V=s QUILT=1
cd build_dir/target .../linux.../backports-20130802/
quilt series
# delete 2 large pending work patches - less fixes for other wireless drivers 
# but you want to test ath10k anyway
quilt delete 300- ...

# repeat / use following 3 commands until all patches are working or 
# delete some patches for drivers not used in your image
quilt push
quilt refresh
# remove an applied patch
quilt pop
4. maybe integrate hw revision test
patch from ath10k mailing list:
# if you are at the end of quilt series - name patch f. ex. 900-ath10k_hw_id.patch
quilt import <path>/900-ath10k_hw_id.patch
# patch is in patches dir
quilt push
quilt refresh
5. update packages: atm you only have a modified build_dir
# in openwrt buildroot
make package/kernel/mac80211/update
After that you should build your image.
atm you have to manually load the kernel modules (insmod ath10k_core, insmod ath10k_pci )

i begin doing all my modification with backport 3.13.2 with help this tutorial.
but i get last error /net/wireless/cfg80211.ko is missing
what i not might fix

today i cross compile the backport-3.12.8-1 with the help this tutorial "wiki@openwrt@org/doc/devel/crosscompile"
sudo make CC=~/openwrtOLD/staging_dir/toolchain-mips_34kc_gcc-4.8-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33.2/bin/mips-openwrt-linux-uclibc-gcc LD=~/openwrtOLD/staging_dir/toolchain-mips_34kc_gcc-4.8-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33.2/bin/mips-openwrt-linux-uclibc-ld ARCH=mips
and replace /usr/src/linux-headers-generic_3.3.3 with build_dir/target.../linux-ar7xxx_generic/linux-3.x.x
when compilling running i see warning "mips-openwrt-linux-uclibc-gcc: warning: environment variable 'STAGING_DIR' not defined" lots of.
but i right exporting this STAGIND_DIR with right path. and see echo $STAGING_DIR path to toolchain dir.

when make the finish and i get the files:

ath.ko
ath9k.ko
ath9k_common.ko
ath9k_hw.ko
cfg80211.ko
mac80211.ko
I replace this files with files located /lib/modules/3.x.x/ in router.
After reboot wifi not work.
in logread i see "PHY for wifi device radio0 not found"
and i cd /sys/class/ieee80211/
but this folder has been a empty....................

after this i using patchs from packege/kernel/mac80211 on backports. and deleting failed patchs.
no result all the same

What a pity. It failed to run on openwrt.

The discussion might have continued from here.
