Forums - Problem linking WLAN binary file with new SDK

Hi Raja,

Thanks for your prompt response.

I have followed the Development Kit Guide, and still have the same error. But for other example projects in the SDK, such as Helloworld_demo, Onboard_demo, etc, I have no problem building them. Only the new project that I have created using QCA402x_plugins.jar has the WLAN linking problem.

There's one thing I have noticed from the log is that the "local/mnt/..." directory.

Please advise me anything that I can look on. Thank you very much in adcance!

Hi Raja,

Both the projects are using the latest SDK from QDN. The first project, let's call it Firmware_Demo is created through Eclipse (File > New > Other > QCA Chipset > QCA402x Project > ...), and the second project, i.e. Helloworld_Demo is the example project included in the same SDK.

I found out that the build.bat in Firmware_Demo does not have the following two lines:

SET Libs=!Libs! "%LibDir%\wlan_lib_common_xip.lib"
SET Libs=!Libs! "%LibDir%\cust_wlan_lib.lib"

But for the Helloworld_Demo, the above two lines can be found.

So i tried to copy over the build.bat file in Helloworld_Demo to replace that in Firmware_Demo, the compilation has no error. So now I have another concern, is the build.bat file in Helloworld_Demo compatible with Firmware_Demo?

Look forward to your reply!

Hi Raja,

Thanks a lot for the update.

Also, I noticed that the default project is missing some of the required files to perform flashing or debugging, e.g. flash_opencd.bat, qca402x_openocd.cfg, etc.
