Silex SDCAN2 WiFi AP mode not working with iMX6ULL EVK

[whizpb]

I am using a Silex SDCAN2 module with MCIMX6ULL EVK. The SDCAN2 module works well in Wi-Fi Client mode however fails to work in AP mode. Hostapd is used for enabling AP mode. The AP mode comes up for a short interval and then dies out with no failure prints coming up on hostapd. The interface is also up and available on the host. 

Following are the components and configuration used.

BSP: fsl-yocto-L4.1.15_2.1.0-ga.tar.gz

Hostapd Config:

interface=wlan0

ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd

bridge=br0

driver=nl80211

ssid=ath6ap

channel=6

wpa=0

eap_server=1

wps_state=0

beacon_int=100

hw_mode=g

max_num_sta=8

wme_enabled=1

Any leads to resolve this are appreciated.

Hi Prashant

silex modules are not supported in nxp official bsps starting from L3.14.52.

One can try to port older releases found on

http://www.nxp.com/products/software-and-tools/software-development-tools/i.mx-software-and-tools/i....

or apply to silex support (Contact Silex Support ) for updated driver or look at third party releases

New Silex WiFi 802.11ac and BT4.1 module - Boundary Devices 

Best regards
igor
