WiFi / wlan on core-image-full-cmdline-imx8mqevk

[purnank]

I am trying to get WiFi up and running on iMX8, but unfortunately i am not able to get Interface wlan0 listed on the board.

Through various threads,  I have tried to wpa-supplicant,iw, etc. wireless pacakges but all steps have gone to vein. 

Any suggestion which steps I am missing to get WiFi enabled on core-image-full-cmdline-imx8mqevk ?

Here is my conf/local.conf

MACHINE ??= 'imx8mqevk'
DISTRO ?= 'fsl-imx-xwayland'
PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= "package_rpm"
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES ?= "debug-tweaks"
USER_CLASSES ?= "buildstats image-mklibs image-prelink"
PATCHRESOLVE = "noop"

BB_DISKMON_DIRS ??= "\
 STOPTASKS,${TMPDIR},1G,100K \
 STOPTASKS,${DL_DIR},1G,100K \
 STOPTASKS,${SSTATE_DIR},1G,100K \
 STOPTASKS,/tmp,100M,100K \
 ABORT,${TMPDIR},100M,1K \
 ABORT,${DL_DIR},100M,1K \
 ABORT,${SSTATE_DIR},100M,1K \
 ABORT,/tmp,10M,1K"
PACKAGECONFIG_append_pn-qemu-native = " sdl"
PACKAGECONFIG_append_pn-nativesdk-qemu = " sdl"
CONF_VERSION = "1"

# UBOOT_CONFIG = "emmc"

DL_DIR ?= "${BSPDIR}/downloads/"
ACCEPT_FSL_EULA = "1"

# gmmmkkk
IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE = "4000000"

IMAGE_INSTALL_append += " cmake curl git subversion python-pip python-click python-cryptography python-pycparser python-cffi"

IMAGE_INSTALL_append += " connman connman-client"
IMAGE_INSTALL_append += " wpa-supplicant iw"

CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += " packagegroup-base-wifi"

IMAGE_INSTALL_append += " linux-firmware-ath9k"

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " \
