Wilocity was a fablesssemiconductor company based in California founded in 2007 developing 60 GHz multi-gigabit wireless chipsets for both the mobile computing platform and peripheral markets. Wilocity was founded in March 2007 by executives and engineers from Intel's Wi-Fi Centrino group. While Wilocity is based in California, most of its employees are in Israel. Based on the WiGig specification, Wilocity's Wireless PCI Express (wPCIe) technology enables multi-gigabit wireless for applications including I/O, networking and video.

The company is involved in 60 GHz multi-gigabit wireless industry organizations. Wilocity was a founding member of the Wireless Gigabit Alliance (WiGig) and serves on its board of directors and chairs the Marketing Work Group.^[1] Wilocity initiated the creation of the IEEE 802.11 ad Task Group, which enhances the 802.11n wireless LAN standard to multi-gigabit-per-second speeds in the 60 GHz band. In addition, Wilocity led the creation of the Wi-Fi Alliance 60 GHz Gigabit Wireless Marketing Task Group and serves as its Chair.^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]

On July 14, 2010 Wilocity and Atheros, a developer of semiconductors for network communications, announced a technology partnership to build a “tri-band wireless solution.” Tri-band devices will leverage the 2.4, 5 and 60 GHz bands, delivering multi-gigabit data transfer speeds while maintaining compatibility with legacy Wi-Fi products.^[8]

On May 12, 2014, ZDNet reported that Qualcomm was on the brink of acquiring Wilocity. According to financial website TheMarker, Qualcomm's potential acquisition could cost the company up to $400 million.^[9]

On 3 July 2014 the successful purchase was announced, Wilocity now being part of Qualcomm Atheros. The triple-band-WLAN-chip Snapdragon 810 was also announced.^[10]

What works
Debug facilities

The wil6210 driver supports several 60GHz wireless card by Qualcomm (1-st ones was originally made by Wilocity; later Wilocity got acquired by Qualcomm). Hardware provides WiFi and wireless PCIE connectivity, as described in the WiGig WBE spec. Driver supports WiFi only. All cards are PCIE devices

Some cards have 60G device combined with Atheros 2.4/5.2 GHz WiFi card. On the PCI, it is represented as the following hierarchy:

Chip consists of the root bridge 1ae9:0101, with 4 ports 1ae9:0201. One port routed to separate Atheros card 168c:0034, it is handled by the ath9k driver. Another port connected to the wil6210 device 1ae9:0301, that is on the same chip. 2 empty ports may be populated when connecting in WBE (PCIE-over-60g) mode.

Devices 1ae9:xxxx except 1ae9:0101 are configurable from the firmware, and may wary depending on the FW build. Hd usb camera driver. In particular, slots 1ae9:0201 may be represented slightly different, using device ID 0200, 0201, 0202, 0203.

Warning! It may be that WiFi device 1ae9:0301 is not visible. This is the case if FW build is WBE-only. If you see this, please contact Wilocity http://wilocity.com/ to obtain and flash FW with WiFi support.

wil6210 device, 1ae9:0301, has one 2Mb BAR.

Depending on card flavor and generation, Atheros 2.4/5.2 GHz WiFi (device 168c:xxxx) may be present or not. Device IDs for 60G device may also differ. Currently, it may be 1ae9:0301 or 1ae9:0310

For the WiFi connection, implemented is 802.11ad spec. Supported are channels 1.3 with corresponded frequencies 58320, 60480, 62640 MHz.

wil6210 use cfg80211 framework, but not mac80211.

sniffer. Due to hardware limitation it captures either only CP (control PHY) or DP (data PHY) frames
managed mode. works well even with network-manager GUI. Require up-to-date wpa_supplicant.
AP mode. Up to 8 simultaneous connected stations supported
security. supported is GCMP, it is the only allowed cipher accordingly to the spec.

Driver designed in a way that hardware start running only when network interface brought up, with either 'ifconfig up' or starting AP. All settings made before are cached in the driver but not passed to the hardware.

iw commands supported

iw link: query link status. Report current MCS.

rtap_include_phy_info
- Include PHY info in the radiotap header, default - no (bool)
use_msi
- Use MSI interrupt: 0 - don't, 1 - (default) - single, or 3 (int)
debug_fw
- load driver if FW not ready. For FW debug (bool)
max_assoc_sta
- Max number of stations associated to the AP (uint)
no_fw_recovery
- disable automatic FW error recovery (bool)
no_fw_load
- do not download FW, use one in on-card flash. (bool)
itr_trsh
- Interrupt moderation threshold, usecs. (uint)
mtu_max
- Max MTU value.
rx_ring_order
- Rx ring order; size = 1 << order
tx_ring_order
- Tx ring order; size = 1 << order

wil6210 support set of interrupt handling modes:

- INTx - legacy pin interrupt. Do not use if possible. - 1MSI - one MSI interrupt. This is the default mode. - 3MSI - 3 MSI interrupts for {Tx, Rx, Misc}.

For interrupt handling mode, probed is highest one specified with @use_msi, with fallback:

3MSI -> 1MSI -> INTx

On the x86 platform, multiple MSI interrupts are not supported with recent kernel (3.17).

When debug_fw Usb server usb devices driver download for windows 10. set to true, driver probe will not fail if firmware do not report 'ready' event. This is to aid firmware boot issues debugging.

To configure wil6210 in sniffer mode (assume $WLAN set to network interface name):

Due to hardware/firmware deficiency, sniffer can capture either only control PHY (CP) or only data PHY (DP). To configure for desired PHY type do, after configuring for monitor mode:

For CP:

For DP:

Finally, bring interface up:

P2P and FST flows
various offloads

Basic support for 802.11ad merged into kernel 3.6
The driver merged into kernel 3.8.
Patches for hostapd/wpa_supplicant submitted, some part is already merged.

We need to get this publicly available..

In the current version, firmware stored in the flash memory on the NIC and not downloaded by the driver. Firmware flashing required for the upgrade only.

To start AP mode, use recent wpa_supplicant (assume relevant patches already merged). Sample config for non-secure mode:

Sample config for secure mode. Note GCMP cipher:

Control communication with the card is done through so called WMI commands and events. Target access to the mailbox within memory in BAR0 used. There are 2 similar mailbox structures: one for host->card commands, and one for card->host events.

DMA using 'vring' structures. Vring in consistent memory; hold descriptors that points to the data buffers. Card to write status back to the descriptor.

There is one Rx vring. Tx vrings - multiple, per DA*TID.

Should firmware crash, or in case of scan timeout, driver try to recover from error by resetting card. This works for station only. In the AP mode, driver will not perform recovery. It will, however, report error to the user space. There are 2 modes of firmware recovery, depending on the driver parameter no_fw_recovery:

Automatic
- when no_fw_recovery not set (default), driver starts recovery attempt immediately. If firmware keeps crashing, driver will stop after 5 attempts performed within short time.
Manual
- when no_fw_recovery set (Y or 1), driver will report firmware error to the user space and wait for command to continue. To query error state and continue with recovery, use recovery file on the driver's debugfs: read it

to query status, it will reads:

If state is pending, it is time to collect all crash information as desired, and continue with recovery by writing run into recovery:

Dynamic debug

Almost all messages printed to the dmesg, are 'dynamic debug' ones. See Documentation/dynamic-debug-howto.txt for details. Module 'wil6210' uses format prefixes to identify message groups:

'DBG[ IRQ]' for interrupt related messages. Prints every IRQ.
'DBG[TXRX]' for Tx/Rx path. Prints every Tx/Rx package.
'DBG[ WMI]' for WMI commands subsystem
'DBG[ FW ]' for FW download
'DBG[MISC]' for various un-categorized cases

Groups IRQ and TXRX are heavy traffic; enable only when required. Group WMI is relatively low traffic, it prints only WMI messages. It is good idea to enable all but IRQ and TXRX when debugging.

Debugfs

All debugfs files placed under standard location for the cfg80211 devices, $DEBUGFS/ieee80211/$PHY/ where $PHY is phy name like 'phy1'.

All wil6210 specific files placed under directory 'wil6210'. Facilities provided:

register access. All ICR (Interrupt Control Registers) groups represented as directories, with entries per register, allowing read/write. ITR (Interrupt Threshold Registers) represented as well.
raw memory access. All memory sections represented as 'blob' files, providing read only access to the memory on card. Sections include:

Raw memory access used by firmware/ucode trace extractor. See below. Also, raw memory dump may be obtained for later analysis.

DWORD memory read, as FW see it. Files 'mem_addr' and 'mem_val' provide access to the memory, using FW addresses (FW memory mapping is somewhat different from what host see in BAR0). Write address to the 'mem_addr', then read 'mem_val'. It will reads like '[0x%08x] = 0x%08xn', addr, value
mailbox for WMI commands events. File 'mbox' reads like:

There are 2 separate rings, one for Tx, or host->card commands; and 2-nd for Rx, or card->host events.

Printed for each ring (all addresses in FW memory mapping):

base address of ring in card's memory
ring size in bytes and entries
tail and head pointers
max. entry size. It is fake for Rx - FW may allocate entry of arbitrary size
mailbox entries, format for entry:

Tx/Rx DMA Vrings. File 'vrings' reads as:
