Intel® Wi-Fi Integration Guide for Non-x86 Platforms

This repository provides documentation, patches, and integration guidance for enabling Intel® Wi-Fi modules on non-x86 platforms (ARM, RISC-V). It is intended for system architects and software engineers integrating Intel® Wi-Fi into embedded and SoC-based systems.

📖 Documentation

Full documentation is available at: intel.github.io/Intel-wireless

Topics Covered

• Hardware Requirements — PCIe Root Complex considerations (MSI-X, de-emphasis, relaxed ordering, tags, No Snoop)
• Driver Build Methods — Native build from source and cross-compilation
• Firmware Installation — Deploying *.ucode and *.pnvm files to the target
• Platform-Specific Guidance — NVIDIA Jetson (Orin, Thor), Canonical Ubuntu (DKMS)
• Wi-Fi Configuration — UEFI variables, ACPI methods, Device Tree
• Troubleshooting — Driver and firmware log collection, FAQ
