8MNANOLPD4-EVK with imx-image-full Wifi doesn't work.

[decastro_25]

Hi everyone, 

I'm new in the iMX field. I've bought a 8MNANOLPD4-EVK board and I've uploaded the imx-image-full from the main page sources: https://www.nxp.com/design/development-boards/i-mx-evaluation-and-development-boards/evaluation-kit-...

I've playing with the board, I'm not able to set-up the WIFI/BLUETOOTH conection, altought the ETH connection works well.

I've checked in the iMX Reference Manual, where says that I've to configure the kernel to get this driver enable.

Has anyone know how to available the wifi network without using Yocto process?

Best regards,

Jorge.

Hi Igor,

Finally, after reading the documents that you share with me, I've the Wifi/Bluetooth device working.

After start the sesion as root, I've entered the next commands to get it works:

• modprobe moal mod_para=nxp/wifi_mod_para.conf (load kernel drivers)
• wpa_supplicant -B -i mlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -D nl80211 (*after use it I've configured the SSID and PWD in the wpa-_supplicant.conf file)
• ifconfig mlan0 up (turn on WIFI)
• #udhcpc -i mlan0 (check IP)

I hope it could be helpful for other users.

Best regards,

Jorge.
