Need help in IMX8MPlus EVK testing AW-CM276MA wifi module

[hiteshviradiya]

Hello,

I want to test AW-CM276MA wifi module present on M.2 of my IMX8M+ evaluation kit. I built core-image-minimal image of yocto imx-linux-kirkstone with manifest imx-5.15.71-2.2.0.xml

I don't see any modules loaded in kernel related to WiFi. Please help with how i can getting started with this?

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in NXP Semiconductor products,

Try building the imx-image-multimedia or imx-image-full,

Dear Jose,

Thanks for the prompt response! I will build this. Can you share the further steps to load drivers and test the WiFi module ?

Hi,

Sure thing, these are them:

# For all the Wi-Fi modules:
$ modprobe moal mod_para=nxp/wifi_mod_para.conf
$ connmanctl
connmanctl> enable wifi
connmanctl> scan wifi
connmanctl> services

# This should list of the network. For example
# wifi_c0e4347f5053_4a62726f_managed_psk*/
connmanctl> agent on
connmanctl> connect wifi_c0e4347f5053_4a62726f_managed_psk

# Enter Passphrase
Agent RequestInput wifi_c0e4347f5053_4a62726f_managed_psk
Passphrase = [ Type=psk, Requirement=mandatory ]
Passphrase?
connmanctl> quit

This should work to join to a network but you can have a complete reference in this guide,

Dear Jose,

Thanks for the steps. The main thing I needed was driver modules to be loaded and I am able to test it with wpa_supplicant.
