<div>Sounds promising. I will definitely take a look on those steps.<br>

<span>Hi,</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>Interesting project, I would like to see support for this in OpenWrt.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>OpenWrt is a Linux distribution which also ships mac80211 and other</span><br>
<span>drivers and user space components.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>The zynq target is already support in OpenWrt master, see here:</span><br>
<span>https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=tree;f=target/linux/zynq;h=d20f848fca5d6de2e3afd88fc208aa9747b8b101;hb=HEAD</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>You have to add support for you broad to the zynq target, see here for</span><br>
<span>an example of an other board:</span><br>
<span>https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commitdiff;h=64f4c3ef357815e5d8c780a0d02924b9176db794</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>Then you would already get images for you board using kernel 4.19.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>Then you have to add your wifi driver, you can use the integration of</span><br>
<span>the mwlwifi driver as an example:</span><br>
<span>https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=blob;f=package/kernel/mwlwifi/Makefile;h=aa8eea0450a2e16a460c2f18af1fa6a3dcc07a0c;hb=HEAD</span><br>
<span>This builds against mac80211 from kernel 5.4 provided by backports.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>Then you should add your other user space tools as normal OpenWrt packages.</span><br>
<span>You should list the basic packages you need in the DEVICE_PACKAGES</span><br>
<span>variable in the board definition in target/linux/zynq/image/Makefile to</span><br>
<span>create images with your wifi driver by default.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
