Automatically Accepting Specific P2P Connection Requests on RT1176 (MAYA-W4 Module)

Hi,

I’m working on a Wi-Fi Direct implementation on the i.MX RT1176 board using the MAYA-W4 Wi-Fi module. I am using wpa_supplicant example from SDK V25.09,I was able to successfully establish and disconnect P2P connections.

In my application, the first connection requires a PIN entry from the user. Once the connection is established, I store the peer’s MAC address in flash memory. For subsequent connections, I want the device to automatically accept incoming requests from the same peer (without requiring user intervention).

I tried using the command wlan-p2p-start-wps-pbc, but it appears to accept connection attempts from all nearby devices, not just the previously stored one.

Is there a way to automatically accept connection requests only from a specific peer MAC address? Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Tarak.

Hi,

Have you tried hard coding the values using wpa_supp_p2p_connect() and call it from main()?

Regards,
Daniel.
