what bsp version do you use?4.9.88 or 4.14.98? maybe you can refer to the chapter 4.13.5 Menu Configuration Options and  chapter 4.13.7 Configuring WLAN from User Space of enclosed file

Hi,

I am using i.mx8m with BSP version 5.4 and AP mode is enabled successfully, but when i try connecting to AP through mobile it says obtaining IP address and the network is getting saved but i am not able to connect AP mode.

Request you to share the configurations of hostapd.conf or suggest any document where i can follow proper flow.

NOTE: Above mentioned Menu Configuration Options from i.mx reference manual are enabled. 

Thanks and Regards,

kasturi.

Hi zhanglei2015xx,

You need to bridge the interface which is having an IP with the wifi module. I have verified this in i.MX8MQ EVK with the below commands:

1) hostapd -i wlp1s0 /etc/hostapd.conf -B
2) ifconfig wlp1s0 up
3) ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0
4) ifconfig wlp1s0 0.0.0.0
5) brctl addbr br0
6) brctl addif br0 eth0
7) brctl addif br0 wlp1s0
8) brctl show
9) ifconfig br0 up
10) udhcpc -i br0

Once you run above commands your ethernet and wifi module will be bridged. Then you can turn on the wi-fi in your smartphone and connect it with the i.MX8MQ wifi. I have verified this in L4.9.88-2.0.0_ga.xml kernel.

Regards,

Kunal
