1. 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 7 platform. The environment enables the user to test performance of
the AW-CM276NF.
Manufacturing Bridge mode
1.1 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. The release contains driver folder and FW image.
After opening above folder, you can see the folders as picture below. The working direction is
“bin_pcie8997”.
In this folder, it includes pre-built driver file and quick start script as below picture.

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. This next section will describe the
steps needed to be done before you can install the driver and run it.
Go to the subdirectory wlan_src
*Make sure to have kernel headers and kernel libs before executing the “make” commands below.
make clean
make build
Go up one folder to copy both *.ko files to your directory in where you have the other files in where
you want to run the insmod command.
Here is the sample list of files (as a minimum) at 1 location:
bridge_init.conf
mfgbridge
mlan.ko
pcie8897.ko
bt8xxx.ko
1.2 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.

2. 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.
At this point, the target is ready to receive Labtool commands. On the Windows XP laptop where the
Labtool release was downloaded, go to the folder shown below:
Edit the “SetUp.ini” file as shown in the lines highlighted in RED below. The setup of DutIpAddress will
be the IP address of your target.
