Rajesh, Isn't BT driver eventually a USB/serial driver ? and Wifi eventually a SPI/mmc driver ? So all that logic of power management still applies, However there would be some specific chip specific power management options, which is very specific to the BT/Wifi chip you use and modify your driv

Pavan, Yes, I agree with your statement. But I don't see any WiFi or BT doesn't work with android ! , The same driver works with linux based UI not with android UI ! Can u name few issues which comes when integrating Android UI with linux device drivers? Best Regards, Rajesh On Wed, Sep 1

Hi, I can comment on the BT part and a bit about Wifi part. For BT - You should have a BlueZ driver for your BT device, be it usb or uart transport, it should work with BlueZ in general first. If that is taken care, then android UI will work out of the box without any[minimal] issues. Please spe

Pavan, We r using CSR based WiFi and BT , where WiFi is interfaced through SDIO and BT through UART. Thanks for the info on BT , I am not sure if it is a OpenBT stack BlueZ stack , One more question do linux kernel downloaded from www.kernel.orgcomes with OpenBT or Bluez? From ur below word

Hi Rajesh, Bluetooth is not exactly usb/serial driver. It depends on kind of bluetooth support you have. If it is an usb (which usually is the case) then it is usb driver , but it is an in built module, then it is dependent what interface the module uses. It can be serial interface or spi or any o

Rajesh, Linux -2.6.xx comes with BlueZ [current version is BlueZ4.x .. not sure if kernel bluez also has a version...] wifi.c modifications because something like an sdio driver might have to insmod-ed before doing a DRIVER_START ? or the DRIVER_START in itself might not be supported from your dr

HI, I think Bluez is a official Blue tooth stack from kernel.org, If it is the case then it should work without any issues, just now I checked for Bluez , it is official which mean default all kernels downloaded from kernel.orgwill come with bluez , so why there is a chaos in compatibility when i

Can you specify the problem that you currently having ? Do you see a "hci0" socket interface created once you do a BT on ? what does your init.rc file read ? about the service hciattach ? what does your hciconfig -a say ? does it read the right version information from the chip ? regards, Pavan

For WLAN, the drivers for several chipsets are included in Android, including chips from TI, Broadcom, and CSR. The TI driver is used on the ADP1, and the Broadcom driver is used in the Samsung i7500 (Galaxy.). For Android 1.0 and Cupcake, there were some hardcoded assumptions in the Framework and
