## Overview<a name="section729758162218"></a>

The WLAN module is developed based on the Hardware Driver Foundation \(HDF\). It supports cross-OS migration, component adaptation, and modular assembly and compilation. Based on the unified APIs provided by the WLAN module, driver developers of WLAN vendors can adapt their driver code and are capable of creating, disabling, scanning, and connecting to WLAN hotspots. The WLAN driver provides the Hardware Device Interface \(HDI\) layer with the capabilities of setting and obtaining the device MAC address and setting the transmit power. The following figure shows the framework of the WLAN module:

**Figure  1** WLAN framework<a name="fig4415112614415"></a>

### WLAN Driver API Architecture<a name="section178022416377"></a>

The WLAN module provides the following three types of APIs:

1. Capability APIs for the HDI layer

2. Capability APIs directly invoked by drivers

3. Capability APIs for vendors

## Available APIs<a name="section7331102018815"></a>

The WLAN driver module provides APIs that can be directly called by driver developers, such as creating/releasing a **WifiModule**, connecting to/disconnecting from a WLAN hotspot, applying for/releasing a **NetBuf**, and converting between the **pbuf** structure of Lightweight IP \(lwIP\) and a **NetBuf**.  [Table 1](#table1521573319472)  describes some APIs.

## How to Develop<a name="section15957746172412"></a>

The WLAN driver is developed based on the HDF and PLATFORM. It provides a unified driver model for WLAN modules of different vendors regardless of the operating system \(OS\) and system on a chip \(SoC\).

1.  Set hardware parameters such as **module** \(different features\) and **chip** in the **wifi\_config.hcs** file.
2.  Parse the **wifi\_config.hcs** file and generate a structure with the configured parameters.
3.  Initialize and create a module.
4.  Mount and initialize the chip.
5.  Initialize the bus.
6.  Mount the upper-layer WPA service.

>![](../public_sys-resources/icon-note.gif) **NOTE:**<br>
>Some of the above adaptation steps have been provided. For details, see  [Development Example](#section1395253612512). The steps waiting to be performed by developers include setting configuration parameters based on hardware attributes, adapting and mounting a chip, and performing tests and verification.

## Development Example<a name="section1395253612512"></a>

This example describes how to initialize a WLAN module. The following uses the Hi3881 WLAN chip as an example:

1. Set parameters for the WLAN module based on hardware attributes.

```
/* Set parameters in the wlan_platform.hcs file based on hardware attributes. The following is an example of the WLAN platform configuration. */
hisi :& deviceList {
    device0 :: deviceInst {
        deviceInstId = 0;
        powers {
            power0 {
                powerSeqDelay = 0;  /* Power supply sequencing delay */
                powerType = 1;      /* Power supply type. Value 0 indicates that the power supply is always on, and value 1 indicates power supply through general-purpose input/output (GPIO). */
                gpioId = 1;         /* GPIO pin ID */
                activeLevel=1;      /* Active level. Value 0 indicates a low level, and value 1 indicates a high level. */
            }
            power1 {
                powerSeqDelay = 0;  /* Power supply sequencing delay */
                powerType = 0;      /* Power supply type. Value 0 indicates that the power supply is always on, and value 1 indicates power supply through GPIO. */
            }
        }
        reset {
            resetType = 0;         /* Reset type. Value 0 indicates that reset is not supported, and value 1 indicates reset through GPIO. */
            gpioId = 2;            /* GPIO pin ID */
            activeLevel=1;         /* Active level. Value 0 indicates a low level, and value 1 indicates a high level. */
            resetHoldTime = 30;    /* Hold time (ms) for a reset */
        }
        bootUpTimeout = 30;  /* Boot timeout duration (ms) */
        bus {
            busType = 0;     /* Bus type. Value 0 indicates secure digital input/output (SDIO). */
            busId = 2;      /* Bus ID */
            funcNum = [1];   /* SDIO function number */
            timeout = 1000;  /* Timeout duration for data read/write */
            blockSize = 512; /* Size of the data block to read or write */
        }
    }
}
/* Add the configuration file wlan_chip_<Chip name>.hcs (for example, wlan_chip_hi3881.hcs) for each chip and set parameters. The following uses the Hi3881 chip as an example. */
root {
    wlan_config {
        hi3881 :& chipList {
            chipHi3881 :: chipInst {
                match_attr = "hdf_wlan_chips_hi3881"; /* Match attribute */
                chipName = "hi3881";                   /* WLAN chip name */
                sdio {
                    vendorId = 0x0296;    /* Vendor ID */
                    deviceId = [0x5347];  /* Device ID */
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
```

2. Mount the **init** and **deinit** functions of the WLAN chip and WLAN chip driver.

3. During the chip initialization, call the **NetDeviceInit\(\)** function to initialize a network device, call the **NetDeviceAdd\(\)** function to add the network device to a protocol stack, and implement some function pointers of **netdev**.
