[jbnadal]

Hello,

We are using an imx7D SOC with Wi-Fi Module (Marvell 88W8897).

With:

- a Linux BSP (Linux 4.1.15).

- WiFI mwifiex 1.0 (15.87.19.p14)

WPA Supplicant v2.7 with P2P support.

driver are launch in mode 7
modprobe mwifiex driver_mode=0x7

Is Wi-Fi direct is functional with this chip ?

for me I could found P2P device with p2p_find but I could connect (Failed to create AP).

Is some one has already use it with this couple ?( SOC + WIFI Driver) ?

With supplicant or marvell tool ?

Best Regards

Hello,

It seems that iMX7D has support for wifi in L5.4.47. Check those dtses: https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/linux-imx/tree/arch/arm/boot/dts/imx7d-sdb-pcie-ep.dts?h=... and https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/linux-imx/tree/arch/arm/boot/dts/imx7d-sdb-usd-wifi.dts?h... . Please note that for PCIe full Mini PCie a Wifi card is needed and I am not aware about any Marvell Wifi card with mini PCIe connector.

Note: L4.1.15 is not supported anymore by Standard Support, so if you decide to continue with this version, paid support can be provided by i.MX Professional Services: https://www.nxp.com/support/support/nxp-engineering-services/professional-engineering-services:PROFE...

Hope it helps!

BR,

Ivan.
