2 Prerequisites

The following kernel configuration is a prerequisite for correct Calibrator Tool operation:

  1. In order for the calibrator tool to operate, kernel and modules must be compiled with CONFIG_NL80211_TESTMODE=y. The same can be verified as follows:
    root@am335x-evm:/usr/share/cc33xx#  zcat /proc/config.gz | grep NL80211_TESTMODE

    Where the output is:

    CONFIG_NL80211_TESTMODE=y

    If the configuration is not enabled in the driver, you need to recompile kernel and kernel modules and install them to the device. For more informaiton on how to enable this flag and integrate the changes, see the CC33xx Linux Getting Started User's Guide in the CC33xx Linux Software Package.

  2. The wlan0 interface must be shut down. If the interface is already running then run ifconfig wlan0 down to disable the wlan0 interface. Verify the wlan0 interface is disabled by running the ifconfig command again.

    There should not be any mention of wlan0 on the output of ifconfig.
