Wifi is not up on imx8mqevk

[garyjiang]

Hi,

Has anyone tried the wifi on the imx8mqevk. I got the below error during boot up 

root@imx8mqevk:~# [ 10.043247] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to ping firmware: -110
[ 10.049510] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to reset rx filter: -110
[ 10.152151] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: could not init core (-110)
[ 10.158956] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: could not probe fw (-110)

I followed these build instruction.

repo init -u https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/imx-manifest -b imx-linux-morty m imx-4.9.51-8mq_beta.xml 
MACHINE=imx8mqevk source fsl-setup-release.sh -b build
bitbake core-image-base

However, the demo image provided from the website does not report this error. I can see the wifi interface, but not working due to the below error. (wlp1s0 no wireless extensions.()

root@imx8mqevk:~# iwconfig
wlp1s0 no wireless extensions.

lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

Thanks,

Thanks for your reply.

1. When this message occurs, that is because the cfg80211 WEXT is not enabled. 

wlp1s0 no wireless extensions.

Solution:

Networking support->Wireless->cfg80211 wireless extensions compatibility"

CONFIG_WEXT_CORE=y 
CONFIG_WEXT_PROC=y 
CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT=y

2.  If it is this error message, we need to replace the hw3.0/board.bin file.

Hello,

Probably you are not setting the WiFi connection.

Please try modifying the below file with your network specifications.

$nano /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

            ctrl_interface_group=0

            update_config=1

            network={

                                    ssid="the name of your ssid connection"

                                    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK

                                    psk="your password"

                                    proto=WPA2

            }

Finally, run the below shell commands:

$wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp1s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -D nl80211

$udhcpc -i wlp1s0

Hope this can solve your problem.

Best Regards,

Diego.
