I am relatively new to AOSP and very new to the Linux kernel, and I have a task to load Android onto an eSOMiMX7 board, which runs, among other things, an iMX7 processor and a TI wl18xx WiFi/bluetooth module. When I was brought on, the Linux and Android Kernels had been forked from a different system-on-chip vendor's repository that also includes an iMX7, but not a TI wl18xx. This is because the other vendor's chip formally supported Android 8.0.0 on Linux, while eSOMiMX7 does not. The other vendor supplies their Linux and Android forks, and I can successfully load that Linux and Android onto a eSOMiMX7, but we cannot use the WiFi (as expected, since the other vendors Linux does not support). Now my given task is to get the WiFi working on the eSOMiMX7, running Android 8.0.0.
I am trying to read through the documentation in the AOSP and the language insinuates that HIDL and integration of hardware modules is done by the SOM vendor, in that case, TI would've written HIDL and middleware for their wl18xx chip for the iMX7 platform and for different Android releases? This is what they did up to a certain point:
The last time Texas Instruments supported iMX series and Android was the iMX6 running Android 5.1.1, via a series of patches. You can also see in AOSP source here that prior to Lollipop, they pushed to source to officially support up to Android Kit Kat (you can tell by the branches to the left - they stop at Kit Kat) but now no longer do.
For more seasoned AOSP and Linux developers: given the situation I'm in now, how should I proceed to enable the TI wl18xx WiFi drivers on the eSOMiMX7 with Android 8.0.0? Should I write HIDL? I'm not sure I have the information to do so - after all, I'm not the SOM manufacturer, and I'm primarily a software engineer. I'm worried I'm at a place where I don't have the resources to enable TI's hardware on an unsupported platform running an unsupported operating system, but since I'm new I know I could be missing something and would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks y'all!
Edit: I understand that this question is somewhat ambiguous, but I have done research, for many weeks in fact, I hope that's reflected in the question and sources. But if this is not the right exchange please do suggest an alternative, and if anyone has suggestions for forming a better question, I'd really appreciate that too. Getting some help with this is very important to me and I want to ask the best question I can. Thanks!
