[shilesh_babu]

Dear NXp,

As i am not able to bringing up the wifi module that is connected on imx8 Nano evk board, running below commands to bring up the interface, included wifi-tools to my .bblayer.

is there any other packages need to be add .bblayer to bring up this ?   

CMD outputs...

root@cu:~# ifconfig wlan0

ifconfig: wlan0: error fetching interface information: Device not found

root@cu:~# ifconfig wlan0 up

ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device

root@cu:~# ip link set wlan0 up

Can not find device wlan0

Hi shilesh_babu,

You can check this post on the Murata forum: https://community.murata.com/s/question/0D55F000096S0K5SAK/imx-8m-nano-evk-wifi, which talks about a similar issue.

You can also refer to this Blog on the Murata forum: https://community.murata.com/s/article/Drill-down-Steps-to-Bring-up-1MW-on-i-MX8M-Mini-EVK. This describes the process of bring up the on-board Wi-Fi module on i.MX 8MMini. The procedure would be similar for 8MNano.

Best regards

refer to the latest yocto release note, which Supports Murata 1MW (CYW43455) Wi-Fi/Bluetooth on i.MX 8M Mini and i.MX 8M Nano. so what WIFI module do you ues? and what bsp do you use
