Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. IEEE 802.11 2X2 MU-MIMO ac/a/b/g/n Wireless LAN + Bluetooth NGFF Module W8997-M1216 (AW-CM276NF) EVB User Manual Version 0.
Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. 1. Test environment requirement OS Linux OS(later than Ubuntu 14.04) Interface PCIE 2. EVB connections 3. EVB set up with Linux PC Please follow document “AW-CM276NF WLAN & Bluetooth MFG Tool Command User Guide” and start the RF test.
Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. 4. Environment set up and Bridge Mode Tool The “Manufacturing Bridge” refers to the application that allows a user to send commands between Target platform and Windows XP platform. The environment enables the user to test performance of the AW-CM276NF. Manufacturing Bridge mode 4.1 Linux PC set up (1) Driver Folder Contents Download the latest driver package release from Azurewave FAE and unzip it. The driver folder should look similar to the figure shown below.
Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. On the given Host Linux system, the following files have to be transferred & reside on the system. (Transfer the files over via flash memory or tftp over the host.) Place the firmware in /lib/firmware/mrvl/ Ex. pcieuart8997_combo_v2.bin (for PCIE/USB interface) The user may need to compile the driver per your specific Linux OS and Kernel. This is due to that the driver is dependent on the actual OS and kernel version.
Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. 4.2 Windows PC set up Within the internal folder is the labtool and other folders. For this document’s purpose, only the details of the labtool folder will be discussed. The contents of the labtool folder are shown below. The Labtool executable is labeled (DutApiMimoBt.
Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. 5. Start driver installation and DUT testing Now you can run the following commands to install the driver and firmware and start the Manufacturing bridge application with the following commands. On the working direction, use the following commands to put the 88W8997 in MFG mode after power on DUT. ./enable Bring up the ethernet interface and specify an IP address to the Target platform. This address must match the IP for the DUT in which the Host XP is expecting.
Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. Edit the “SetUp.ini” file as shown in the lines highlighted in RED below. The setup DutIpAddress will be the IP address of your target. Then you can double click “DutApiMimoBt.exe” to enter labtool as below picture. 5.1 Initial Command As the information showed on your screen, please enter these commands below to start your test.

Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. 6. Installation and setting on customer’s platform AW-CM276NF is a M.2 type 1216 solder down module, which needs SMT process to assembly on customer’s platform. The software setup steps is same as MFG one(step 4.1). Customer only needs to replace MFG FW by normal FW. Than the module could be brought up and work properly.
Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions: 1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users, and 2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna. As long as 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required.
Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. Industry Canada statement: This device complies with ISED’s licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’ ISED applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence.
Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the Canada authorization is no longer considered valid and the IC ID can not be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate Canada authorization.
Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. Caution : (i) the device for operation in the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor use to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems; (ii) the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz shall be such that the equipment still complies with the e.i.r.p.
Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. (v) De plus, les utilisateurs devraient aussi être avisés que les utilisateurs de radars de haute puissance sont désignés utilisateurs principaux (c.-à-d., qu’ils ont la priorité) pour les bandes 5250-5350 MHz et 5650-5850 MHz et que ces radars pourraient causer du brouillage et/ou des dommages aux dispositifs LAN-EL.
