can't build on ubuntu for ARM #4

I wanted to build this driver for my pcDuino3B board which has a rtl8188EU wireless LAN card. The SoC of pcDuino3B is sunxi7i A20 (arm). Version of the Linux Kernel I used is 6.0.2. I modified the Makefile of the driver as below: CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_SUNxI = y CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_SUN7I = y

At first, an error occurred saying "mach/sys_config.h is missing", so I copied "arch/arm/mach-sunxi/include/mach" folder from official linux-3.4-sunxi source code which doesn't appear in the mainline Linux Kernel source code to the driver's "platform" folder. Then, it proceeds with another error saying "script_parser_fetch function was not declared". After searching on the web, I found that this function may come from some tools from sunxi which I didn't find somewhere. The two errors both come from "platform/platform_ARM_SUNxI_usb.c".

I found another rtl8188eu driver by an unofficial maintainer: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu

The above driver can be built and loaded with the above Linux Kernel 6.0.2. But it cannot work properly on pcDuino3B with a long existed issue. https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu/issues/235

Is it possible to combine these two drivers together?

Thanks very much!

Hi! Unfortunately I don't have a pcDuino3B device to do tests.

You can try compile this driver, edit Makefile CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n CONFIG_PLATFORM_RPI_ARM = y (arm platform).

It works! with the following command: wpa_supplicant -d -B -Dnl80211 -iwlx* -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Thanks!!

It does work. But dmesg is noisy!! What's wrong?
