Hi,expert
I have a I.MX8M Quad EVK board, and I want to use the Chip on board WiFi QCA6174. My Linux BSP is L4.9.88_2.0.0_images_MX8MQ.tar.gz which download from Nxp.com. The Qca6174 wlan chip could be found as the log below:
root@imx8mqevk:~# lspci
00:00.0 PCI bridge: Synopsys, Inc. Device abcd (rev 01)
01:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 32).
But I could not find the dev node such as wlan0 when I used the ifconfig, the log below:
root@imx8mqevk:~# ifconfig

In addition, the wlan driver info is:

Finally,I found those log which was printed by the wlan driver:

Can you tell me how I can solve this problem and the steps for using the wlan chip QCA6174.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi wei kang
one can try steps described in sect.4.12.2.5 Configuring WLAN from User Space
attached Linux Manual. As stated on p.19 Release Notes:
For i.MX 8MQuad, it needs to add kernel parameter "pci=nomsi" to support Murata 1CQ Wi-Fi.
Best regards

Hello Sir,
Does anyone can operate QCA6174A/Bluetooth device on i.MX8_EVK ? based on "L4.9.88_2.0.0-ga" or "Android8.1.0"
No problem in QCA6174A/wlp1s0 , but QCA6174/Bluetooth function failed.
