Drivers Atmel Network & Wireless Cards

by



Windows comes with drivers for many devices, such as printers, displays, keyboards, and TVs. A driver is software that a device uses to work with your PC. Every device needs a driver to work with your PC. So, in many cases, you can plug in a device, and it’ll work automatically.

Windows can also download device software and info. This might include an app that the device manufacturer created to go with your device or info like the product name, manufacturer, and model number, to help you distinguish between similar devices.

  • Download the latest drivers, firmware, and software for your HP EliteBook Revolve 810 G1 Tablet.This is HP’s official website that will help automatically detect and download the correct drivers free of cost for your HP Computing and Printing products for Windows and Mac operating system.
  • Update the device driver. In the search box on the taskbar, enter device manager, then select Device Manager. Select a category to see names of devices, then right-click (or press and hold) the one you’d like to update. Select Search automatically for updated driver software. Select Update Driver.

Drivers are updated occasionally. Windows can update them automatically, or you can install the updated drivers yourself. It's important for you to have confidence in the updated drivers you install. Windows notifies you if it detects a suspicious or unsafe driver you shouldn't install.

Automatically get the latest drivers and software

Windows Update checks for updated drivers and software for your devices and install them automatically. Keeping Windows Update on is a good way to make sure your devices continues to work properly and you get the best experience with them.

Note: PCs running Windows RT 8.1 always automatically download and install drivers, apps, and info for your devices.

To check that automatic updating is on

  1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings. (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)

  2. Tap or click Update and recovery, and then tap or click Windows Update.

  3. Tap or click Choose how updates get installed.

  4. Under Important updates, choose Install updates automatically (recommended).

Installing drivers yourself

If your device came with a disc, it might contain software that installs a driver. Before you install a driver from a disc, check the info that comes with it to be sure it supports your current version of Windows.

You can also search for new drivers on the manufacturer's website. Driver updates are often available in the support section of their website. Download the latest driver for your device, and follow the installation instructions on the website. You can usually double-tap or double-click the downloaded file to install the driver on your PC.

If the driver you got from a disc or downloaded from a website doesn't install itself, you might need to install manually.

To manually install a driver

You must be signed in as an administrator to follow these steps.

  1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search. (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, and then click Search.)

  2. Enter Device Manager in the search box, and tap or click Device Manager.

  3. In the list of hardware categories, double-tap or double-click the category your device is in and then double-tap or double-click the device you want. For example, to see your video card, tap or click Display adapters, and then double-tap or double-click the video card name.

  4. Tap or click the Driver tab, tap or click Update Driver, and then follow the instructions. You might be asked for an admin password or to confirm your choice.

Notifications telling you about unsafe drivers

Occasionally, you might see a notification that a driver is unsigned, has been changed since it was signed, or can't be installed by Windows. We recommend that you don't install unsigned or changed drivers.

A digitally signed driver includes a digital signature, which is an electronic security mark that indicates the publisher of software and whether someone has tampered with it since it was signed. If a driver has been signed by a publisher that has verified its identity with a certification authority, you can be confident that the driver comes from that publisher and hasn't been changed.

If you see any of the following notifications when you're installing a driver, you should stop the installation and go to your device manufacturer's website to get a digitally signed driver for your device.

Windows can't verify the publisher of this driver software

The driver doesn't have a digital signature or has been signed with a digital signature that wasn't verified by a certification authority. You should only install this driver if you got it from the manufacturer's disc or from your system administrator.

This driver hasn't been signed

The driver hasn't been digitally signed by a verified publisher. The driver might have been changed to include malware that could harm your PC or steal info. In rare cases, legitimate publishers do change drivers after they've been digitally signed, but you should only install an unsigned driver if you got it from a device manufacturer's disc.

Unfortunately, there's no trustworthy source of info that indicates who has published an unsigned driver. Anyone can change the contents of an unsigned driver, and there's no way to know why it was changed. Most manufacturers now digitally sign the drivers they create before releasing them to the public.

Windows requires a digitally signed driver

A driver that lacks a valid digital signature, or has a signature that was changed after it was signed, can't be installed on 64-bit versions of Windows. You'll only see this notification if you have a 64-bit version of Windows and try to install such a driver on it.

Linux kernel

The Linux kernel is downloaded while building the buildroot-at91. For example, the Linux kernel source is located in the /output/build/linux-83a9eb4b2f16d9b388daa473a954fb2a563a7ccb. The following section describes how to port Atmel wireless drivers in the Linux Kernel.

Patch the kernel with Atmel 802.11 drivers

  • Kernel configuration: customize the kernel option by issuing the following command.

In the menuconfig, include the following options.

First, the Atmel ATWILC3000 driver depends on the CFG80211 and Bluetooth package in the Linux system. Check the CFG80211 and BT are included correctly.

• For CFG80211, add “Networking support --> Wireless --> cfg80211 – wireless configuration API”. It should be selected as built-in module marked with [*].

• For Bluetooth, add “Networking support --> Bluetooth subsystem support” with subordinates. Make sure the “Bluetooth subsystem support --> Bluetooth device drivers --> HCI UART driver” is selected with subordinates.

• Select “Device driver --> Network device support --> Wireless LAN --> Atmel SmartConnect Wireless cards Driver” and set the ATWILC3000 driver as module or built-in. Make sure that the SDIO interface is selected for Wi-Fi. The ATWILC3000 device will be connected to the SAMA5D3 Xplained board via SDIO for Wi-Fi.

Drivers Atmel Network Login

  • Add the following in the /driver/net/wireless/Kconfig.
  • Add the atmel directory in the /driver/net/wireless/Makefile.
  • Download the latest wireless drivers from the ATWILC3000 driver. (Refer to the Release Note ). For example, the following command will create the atmel directory in the /drivers/net/wireless/.
  • Download the firmware in the Buildroot-at91/output/taget/lib/firmware with the following command.

  • Remove the followings before making new kernel image.
  • Go to the root directory of buildroot-at91 and issue the following again: make

Then, the outputs necessary to flash the board are generated like the followings.

Hardware consideration

WLAN

For the WLAN, the MCI0 SD/MMC card slot J10 at the bottom on the SAMA5D3 Xplained should be connected to the SDIO_J1 on the ATWILC3000 EVB: pin 8 for SD_DAT0, pin 9 for SD_DAT1, pin 1 for SD_DAT2, pin 2 for SD_DAT3, pin 3 for SD_CMD and pin 6 is for SD_CLK. The SD_DAT0 to SD_DATA3 should be connected to support SDIO 4-bit mode. In addition, SD_CMD, SD_CLK and GND should be connected to the SAMA5D3 Xplained board.

Bluetooth

The HCI UART transport layer uses the following configurations:

  • data length: 8 bits
  • parity: no parity
  • stop bit: 1stop bit
  • flow control: RTS/CTS
  • baud rate: vendor specific
  • flow-off response time: vendor specific

The local RXD should be connected to the remote TXD and the local RTS should be connected to the remote CTS and vice versa.

For Bluetooth, the USART2 of SAMA5D3 Xplained is connected to the ATWILC3000 EVB. The expansion, J19 on the SAMA5D3 Xplained board has the TXD2 on pin E26, RXD2 on pin E25, RTS2 on pin PE24 and CTS2 on pin PE23.

  • The TXD2 on the SAMA5D3 Xplained should be connected to the RXD on the ATWILC3000 EVB, J216 pin18.
  • In contrast, the RXD2 on the SAMA5D3 Xplained should be connected to the TXD on the ATWILC3000 EVB, J216 pin19. * The RTS2 on the SAMA5D3 Xplained should be connected to the CTS on the ATWILC3000 EVB, J216 pin16
  • The CTS2 should be connected to the RTS on the ATWILC3000 EVB, J216 pin24.

Drivers Atmel Network Software

Make sure open J227, J805 and J901 on ATWILC3000 EVB before running the Bluetooth.
