Raspberry Pi 3B (32 Bit) Bare Metal Wifi Driver

This is an attempt to write bare metal wifi driver for raspberry pi by following Plan9 code.

Build Process

  • Get docker desktop for your host operating system
  • Change directory to rpi-3b-wifi
  • Invoke ./build.sh
  • Find binary in current working directory.
  • IMAGE directory has all the files which can be directly copied to sd card of PI to test this code.

Current Status : Wifi driver NOT WORKING

Development Plan

  • Set up basic utilities like printf, timers, interrupt
  • Use emmec controller to read sd card's contents
  • Add sdhost driver to read sd card's content
  • Remove EMMC dependency to read sd card
  • Write basic SDIO driver for EMMC
  • Use emmc + sdio to enable wifi
  • Get broadcom binary driver for wifi chip
  • Load broadcom driver into wifi chip
  • Join network with no security
  • Join network with wpa2/psk security
  • Initialize wifi
  • Send packets
  • Use light wight network library to use wifi
  • Write basic http hello world test example using wifi

make DISABLE_EXP=1 to disable experimental
