Hello Steven,

Can you attach the error log here?

If you are using the clean r10.3 release on i.MX50 RD3 EVK board, please make sure you have applied this patch. It enables the 3.15V power to supply the wifi module.

Regards,

Peter

Hello Steven,

The patch is for kernel. Please update this file to /kernel_imx/arch/arm/mach-mx5/mx50_rdp.c.

Do you have any wifi module connecting to the EVK board? If yes, please follow the user guide to enable wifi.

Does that EVK board has built-in wifi and bluetooth?

No, MX50 EVK board does not possess any wifi and bluetooth modules. The most handy way to test wifi is to look for a SDIO wifi card with atheros chip inside.
