Is anybody have build the Linux distro for the wp76?
I try it but Wp76 use Linux Qualcomm (quic) and command line is a little bit different. I can’t set the default kernel config. The next step seems ok.
I would like to add FTDI driver to wp76 kernel,
Thanks
Francis
Nobody can help me ?
I just want to add Fdti driver into the wp76 Linux distro…

cd to the toplevel yocto directorymake image_srcNow install build_src/tmp/deploy/images/swi-mdm9x28/yocto_wp76xx.4k.cwe using fdt, fwupdate or swiflash.
I verified this using a yocto from the sierra wireless internal git repository. The instructions might need to change slightly to use the public tarball. Maybe you need to do make image_bin instead of make image_src and replace all the build_src instances with build_bin in the above instructions. I hope that helps.
Thank a lot David. I will test it this afternoon.
I will now used the wp7607-1 for test.
Hi Dfrey
I can use [*] in the menuconfig setting and ‘y’ (instead of ‘m’ in mdm9607_defconfig file) if I want to load driver at startup ?
Is it correct ?
Thank’s
Hello
I have now the FDTI driver in the WP76 firmware 
I can see it in /dev/ttyUSB0 and able to send data over a USB FTDI cable.
Thank’s a lot for your help !!
Hi @dfrey
I have something similar, but not a driver. Apparently, the extended network filtering (that handles mtu clamping) has been removed from the build. I need to put it back in. I am trying to find out what I change to do that. Can you tell me?
Thanks,
Evets
That’s not a feature I am familiar with. Is it a missing kernel config option or a utility program?
I am trying to do the same thing. I downloaded Legato Linux Distribution from here:
https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/legato/download/legatolinuxdist9x15/
and trying to build it but getting below error:
warlord@ubuntu:~/legato_source/yocto$ . ./poky/oe-init-build-env
warlord@ubuntu:~/legato_source/yocto/build$
warlord@ubuntu:~/legato_source/yocto/build$ bitbake -c listtasks linux-quic

I think you miss to build “image_bin” before o start…
cd yocto
export LEGATO_BUILD=0
make image_bin
Hi @Francis.duhaut,
I want to enable “USB Serial Converter Support” before starting the build? How can I do that? And How do I make sure that I am using the correct yocto(Legato/MangoH-Green) package/version? Linux Kernel version on my MangoH Green board is 3.18.44 .
Here is the output of modprobe:
lsusb | grep -i ft

Thanks,

Send me a private message I will send a small tuto to build the yocto.
Hi @Francis.duhaut,
Do I need to set some environment variable for cross compilation before running “make image_bin” because target board is ARM?
While running the “make image_bin” initially I am getting following error:

Hello,
To build Yocto and add FDTI driver
download yocto distro for WP76 and tool chain from sierra website (use the VM linux available on the Mangoh website)
remove old toolchain
sudo rm - R /opt/swi/*
install new toolchain
create a new folder ( ex yocto_wp76 )
cd yocto_cp76
untar the linux distro into a folder
-> tar -xvjf DistroName…
Setup the bitbake environment
cd yocto
make image_bin
… you have time to drink a lot of cofee this take around 3H…
Now you can set the bitbake environnement :
cd poky
source oe-init-build-env
cd …/…/build_bin
bitbake -c listtasks linux-quic
bitbake -c menuconfig linux-quic
Navigate to Device Drivers > USB Support > USB Serial Converter Support and press space to have * for module
Press enter to view the list of serial converters
Find USB FTDI Single Port Serial Driver and press space to have *
Save the config as .config (the default) and exit
Edit kernel/arch/arm/configs/mdm9607_defconfig and add
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL=y
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_FTDI_SIO=y
Rebuild the yocto image
cd to the toplevel yocto directory
make image_bin
Now you can install build_bin/tmp/deploy/images/swi-mdm9x28/yocto_wp76xx.4k.cwe
cd /yocto/build_bin/tmp/deploy/images/swi-mdm9x28
cfglegato
fwupdate download yocto_wp76xx.4k.cwe 192.168.2.2
I use the VM linux available on MangOH web site.
Please use it. Idon’t have the list of the packet to install on linux.
The VM image you are using, is arm or x86?
Thanks,
Yogesh
It’s a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS x86 64 bits
You can download the VM at :
HI @Francis.duhaut,
After extracting toolchain, how did you make sure that this toolchain was used to build linux distro ? By default bitbake builds linux disro for “x86” architecture?
By the way, when I run “make image_bin” in “yocto” folder, I get this error:
Common targets are:
core-image-minimal
core-image-sato
meta-toolchain
adt-installer
meta-ide-support
You can also run generated qemu images with a command like 'runqemu qemux86’
Error: bash is not set as default provider for /bin/sh
build is not guaranteed to work, aborting
make: *** [image_bin] Error 1
Thanks,
Yogesh
sorry the commande is :
make image (not image_bin)
Toolchain is not necessary to build yocto (but required to build legato and apps)
I get following error if I run “make image” from yocto folder:
make image
