Linux SDIO Driver Physical
Layer Reference Guide
This guide describes the physical layer of the
Nanoradio Linux SDIO driver for the Nanoradio NRX700 series of Wi-Fi/WLAN
802.11b/g chipsets and modules. The NRX700 series of chipsets and modules, are
designed to bring outstanding WLAN capabilities into mobile phones and other
battery powered consumer electronics.
When using Linux for the host driver environment
you need to port the Nanoradio Linux SDIO driver to your own target.
Refer to the Nanoradio Linux SDIO Driver Porting Guide (1543/18-NRX700) for general
information on porting the Linux SDIO driver, and for an introduction to the
details of this Reference Guide.
This guide is intended for experienced programmers who are porting the Linux host driver for the Nanoradio NRX700 to a new Linux based host platform. The document will mainly focus on the interfaces of the low-level parts of the driver, i.e. the SDIO communication with the target.
You are expected to have good knowledge about Linux driver development and WLAN networking. In addition, you should have a working knowledge of the following:
· Wi-Fi/WLAN standards and protocols
· The architecture of the NRX700 Host Environment.
· The architecture and requirements of your host system.
· The operating system and IDE of your development system.
