AM6548: How to set wlan0 an ip address?

Part Number: AM6548

Hi Ti,

We are using Linux SDK 08.02.00.02 on Ti EVM board.

We want to test a wifi dongle and thus we enable a kernel config CONFIG_R8188EU to support it.

After using wpa_cli commad, I can connect with my phone hotspot.

But I cannot see any ip address from wpa_cli status commad. And I cannot ping ip successfully.

root@am65xx-evm:/# ifconfig wlan0
wlan0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 metric 1
inet6 fe80::d237:45ff:fed8:ee69 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>

Could you provide any idea how to set ip address for wlan0?

Thanks.

  • Hi,

    TI is not able to support a WiFI dongle on a TI EVM. I suggest that you try contacting the vendor for additional support.

    One recommendation I have is that you should try to connect with a different hotspot or actual home router perhaps. Since there is not an IPv4 address shown with the ifconfig command leads to conclusion that the hotspot you are using is not supplying an IP address to the Dongle+AM65. 

    Best Regards,

    Schuyler
