Building the SX-SDxAC Driver
for i.MX6/i.MX7D SABRE SDBs

(Linux 4.1.15-2.0.1_ga)

The purpose of this document is to provide instructions for creating a bootable SD card image based on NXP’s L4.1.15-2.0.1_ga BSP (Linux OS), and building QCA9377-3 (SX-SDxAC) kernel modules and the BlueZ package for the OS. The kernel modules provide the driver functions for the Silex SX-SDMAC, SX-SDCAC and SX-SDPAC 802.11ac radio modules. The target hardware is the NXP i.MX6SX (SoloX) SABRE SDB or i.MX7D SABRE SDB.
