Hi All,
I am very new to wireless.
I am working on Murata SN8000 module + IMX6Quad Sabre board in Linux.
I have already get the module work. I can see device wlan0.
Now, I am trying to make it work as an AP. But hostapd is not part of the filesystem.
I heard wpa_supplicant can work too.
But I could not get it work as an AP.
Could any one help me?
Either how to cross-compile hostapd and dhcpd or how to make wpa_supplicant work as AP.
Thank you very much!
Best Regards,
Ivy
Hello liu,
The following items are my advice for your application.
(1) Firmware for AP
don't forget load xxx_ap.bin file when loading a WIFI driver to your system.
(2) hostapd executive file
After compiling android source code, you should find hostapd file at path "system/bin", the file will be used to start AP service( see init.freescale.rc)
(3) About hostapd.conf
When you select WIFI access point in android WIFI setting, hostapd.conf file will be automatically created at path "data/misc/wifi/" by upper wifi application.
(4) Starting hostapd service
Android BSP for SabreSDP board supports WIFI ap, you can find corresponding commands in init.freescale.rc file.
(5) About wpa_supplicant.conf
You can search much valuable experience from internet, the following is an example.
interface=wlan0driver=nl80211ctrl_interface=/data/misc/wifi/hostapdssid=mySoftAP#wpa_passphrase=0123456789channel=6ieee80211n=1wpa=0#wpa=2rsn_pairwise=CCMPwpa_psk=20c7dff358c6481bd7278907adb988b8ca7217bc407674b18a59b5c7f81bcc09 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hope above advice is useful for you!

Hi Wigros,
I am using Linux.
DO you know which root filesystem has hostapd that I can download?
Thanks and Best Regards,

If hostapd is not part of your filesystem; then you need to create your own hostapd.conf file.
Follow these instruction
en/users/Documentation/hostapd - Linux Wireless
After that you can varify it through
ifconfig wlan0 : When you will run this command you can see the Mode is set to Managed.
Hi Vinod,
Thanks!
I will try to build it.
