Hello NXP Community,
I am working with an i.MX8M Plus EVK running an NXP Debian Linux image built using FlexBuild/LSDK.
My board uses the following Wi-Fi module:
- Wi-Fi Module: AzureWave AW-CM276NF
- Wi-Fi Chipset: NXP/Marvell 88W8997
- Interface: PCIe for Wi-Fi
I am unable to bring up and connect the Wi-Fi interface on the Debian image.
I tried checking the available network interfaces, but I am not able to successfully turn on the Wi-Fi.
Could you please provide the correct steps to enable and connect Wi-Fi for the AzureWave AW-CM276NF (88W8997) module on the i.MX8M Plus Debian/FlexBuild image?
I would like to know:
- Is the Wi-Fi driver included by default in the Debian/FlexBuild image?
- Which driver should be used for the AW-CM276NF / 88W8997 module?
- Should I load the driver using the following command?
modprobe moal mod_para=nxp/wifi_mod_para.conf- After loading the driver, should the Wi-Fi interface appear as mlan0, wlan0, or another interface?
- Are any additional firmware files required under /lib/firmware/nxp/?
- Are there any FlexBuild configuration options that need to be enabled to include the Wi-Fi driver and firmware in the Debian image?
Please let me know the recommended step-by-step procedure to bring up Wi-Fi and connect to an access point.
Thank you.
refer to the release note, current bsp supports the NXP SDIO 88W8997 (tested with Murata LBEE5XV1YM) on i.MX 8MPlus. for how to enable WI-FI in debain, pls refer to the 3.4.6 Enabling the Wi-Fi module on the i.MX platform of enclosed file
