Implementation of "Wi-Fi Access Point" on IMX7

[vikram_bidkar]

Dear All,

I am trying to implement "Wi-Fi Access Point" on the IMX7 evaluation board having Murata Wi-Fi chip(LBEH5HMZPC).

Below are my changes in .config file.

CONFIG_BCMDHD_FW_PATH="/lib/firmware/bcm/ZP_BCM4339/fw_bcmdhd_apsta.bin"
CONFIG_BCMDHD_NVRAM_PATH="/lib/firmware/bcm/ZP_BCM4339/bcmdhd.ZP.SDIO.cal"

CONFIG_HOSTAP=y
CONFIG_HOSTAP_FIRMWARE=y

but when I do "ifconfig wlan0 up" I am getting following error

root@imx7dsabresd:~# ifconfig wlan0 up

Dongle Host Driver, version 1.141.92 (r)
Compiled in drivers/net/wireless/bcmdhd

dhd_bus_rxctl: resumed on timeout, INT status=0x208000C0

dhd_check_hang: Event HANG send up due to re=1 te=0 e=-110 s=2
dhd_open : wl_android_wifi_on failed (-14)

What could be the issue?

Note: Wi-Fi is working fine in client mode. It can able to scan and all.

Hi Vikram

please refer to additional documentation (probably you will have to ask access to it

using murata support portal : wireless.murata.com/eng/products/rf-modules-1/wi-fi-bluetooth-for-freescale-i-mx.html)

Thank you very much igor.

Sorry for the late response.

"Murata i.MX Linux 4.1.15_2.0.0" Quick Start Binary Patch Release does not contain bcm firmware file. It has only NVRAM file(bcmdhd.1CK.OOB.cal and bcmdhd.1CK.SDIO.cal ). Please let me know where can I get the proper bcm firmware file for Wi-Fi chip LBEH5HMZPC ( Access Point mode).

Thanks and regards,

Vikram
