Hi there,
I am trying to use my imx8mqevk board to connect wifi, which is supposed to be the default device on board.
However, I use the image from yocto project by "bitbake core-image-minimal" to boot the device then $ifconfig wlan0 up, it reports "No such device."
The kernel is 4.9.88_2.0.0_ga.
Do I need to bitbake something else or manuconfig in advance? Please help.

Hello Ka-Yi,
In addition to what Igor said above (use a build other than 'minimal', and preferably go for a newer kernel), if you are using kernel 4.9.88, you need to add kernel parameter "pci=nomsi" to support Murata 1CQ Wi-Fi (mentioned in the Release Notes).
Thanks.
Hi Ka-Yi
one can try procedure described in sect.4.12 Wi-Fi QCA6174 attached Linux Manual with
Linux Binary Demo Files - i.MX 8MQuad EVK
Minimal is small image that only allows a device to boot, description can be found in
sect.5.2 Choosing an i.MX Yocto project image Yocto Guide.
In general recommended to use latest Linux L4.14.78_1.0.0
linux-imx - i.MX Linux kernel
Linux L4.14.78_1.0.0 Documentation
Best regards
igor
