Linux configuration

  • Linux will have to be configured in order to tell it that an APW is connected to your APF27Dev:
$ make linux-menuconfig
System Type  --->
    Freescale MXC Implementations  --->
            ...
            Extension board (Wireless (APW))  --->
       [ ] GSM/GPRS Modem (NEW)
       [ ] Bluetooth & WiFi module (NEW)
       [ ] CSI (Camera) pass-through (NEW)
       [ ] GPS module (NEW)

Select the options installed on your APW board (WiFi can only be selected if SPI3 port is not selected for general purpose (SDHC1 & SPI3 are muxed)).

$ make linux
  • reflash you Linux kernel
