Does i.MX6 Linux BSP provide software to evaluate AR6003 access point?

[satoshishimoda]

Hi community,

We have a question about i.MX6DQ Linux BSP.

We want to confirm whether i.MX6DQ Linux BSP support Wi-Fi access point mode.

We guess the AR6003 driver for SABRE bord can work as access point mode, but don't know whether there is software to evaluate the mode.

Would you let me know the status of each Linux BSP?

(e.g. L3.0.35_4.1.0: NO, L3.10.17_1.0.0-ga & L3.10.35_1.0.0-ga: YES)

Best Regards,

Hi Satoshi Shimoda,

Please refer to "i.MX_6Dual6Quad_Linux_Reference_Manual.pdf" in "L3.0.35_4.1.0_130816_docs" which can be downloaded from FSL official web, its  "Chapter 40 AR6003 WiFi "  introduce it is a  standard linux wifi device.

    Wifi module of AR6003  works normally we tried before  in  i.MX6Q-SDP. You can use  comand " iwconfig " to set it work mode(iwconfig  --help can get help).

"iwconfig wlan0 mode master" to setup AP mode after your Wlan up.

Please someone help me.

If AR6003 driver in Linus BSP does not support access point mode, we have to consider modifying the code or changing the Wi-Fi chip.
