2. Navigate to the WE866Cx.bin files directory and open a command prompt to run
the following commands (not under adb shell))
adb push utf.bin/cache/firmware
adb push bdwlan.bin/cache/firmware
adb push qwlan.bin/cache/firmware
adb push otp.bin/cache/firmware
Issue the following commands:
adb shell(login:root/password:oelinux123)
echo-n “/cache/firmware” > /svs/module/firmware_class/parameters/path
3. Start Wi-Fi Access Point Mode
/etc/init.d/wlan start ap //– start wlan driver in “ap” mode
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
//configure “wlan0” interface IP address (only valid for AP mode as
in ST mode ip will be received via dhcp)
echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
hostapd -B /data/wlan/hostapd.conf -dddd
brctl addif bridge0 wlan0
//The last 3 commands are related to network routing + start AP
daemon
Once the above commands are successfully executed, the following AP will be listed.
• AP Name: QSoftAP
• Password: 1234567890
For installing ADB please refer to section 6.2 ADB Installation.

6.2. ADB Installation
Android Debug Bridge (adb) is a versatile command-line tool that lets you communicate with
a device. The adb command facilitates a variety of device actions, such as installing and
debugging apps, and it provides access to a Unix shell that you can use to run a variety of
commands on a device.
Perform the following steps to install ADB on an Android SDK Platform for Windows:
1. Open a windows browser and navigate to
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html.
