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… ---

##### Setup the bitbake environment 1. `cd poky` 2. `source oe-init-build-env` ##### Run menuconfig for the kernel 1. `cd ../../build_src` 2. `bitbake -c listtasks linux-quic` 3. `bitbake -c menuconfig linux-quic` 4. Navigate to _Device Drivers \> USB Support \> USB Serial Converter Support_ and press _m_ for module 5. Press _enter_ to view the list of serial converters 6. Find _USB FTDI Single Port Serial Driver_ and press _m_ 7. Save the config as _.config_ (the default) and exit ##### Put the config changes into yocto 1. Diff the original config vs your new one. Your paths may be slightly different: `diff -U3 ./tmp/work/swi_mdm9x28-poky-linux-gnueabi/linux-quic/3.18.20+git301b7484e0a2c68a7f852db9c09fc237639021f5-r1/build/.config.orig ./tmp/work/swi_mdm9x28-poky-linux-gnueabi/linux-quic/3.18.20+git301b7484e0a2c68a7f852db9c09fc237639021f5-r1/build/.config` 2. Edit _kernel/arch/arm/configs/mdm9607\_defconfig_ and add `CONFIG_USB_SERIAL=m` and `CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_FTDI_SIO=m` ##### Rebuild the yocto image 1. `cd` to the toplevel yocto directory 2. `make image_src` Now 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. ---

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? ---

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 ---
