SK-AM62: Wi-fi Direct operation

Hello Praveen, 

Thanks for your question.

I am going to help you enable wifi on SK-AM62. Lets take this step by step.

So, it will all start by you downloading the .wic image from this link:  www.ti.com/.../09.01.00.08

And then I want you to flash this image on a SD Card, using a tool like Balena Etcher.

Looking forward to your response.

Vaibhav

Hi Vaibhav,

Sounds good.

Okay so the next steps are as follows:

• Plug your sd card onto your system and I want you to change one file named as wificfg.
  
  
• So the file content would like as below:
  
  

  # board is acting as a WiFi station.
  # Customize this as per your need
  # Set the demo_enable to yes so that the board connects to the AP automatically
  # after the boot
  
  [Wifi-STA]
      demo_enable = no
      ssid = homewifi
      password = password123 

  
  
  
• Lets assume your wifi name is WIFI_DEMO_NAME and password is QWERTY
  
  
• So now the modified file would like as follows:
  
  

  # board is acting as a WiFi station.
  # Customize this as per your need
  # Set the demo_enable to yes so that the board connects to the AP automatically
  # after the boot
  
  [Wifi-STA]
      demo_enable = yes
      ssid = WIFI_DEMO_NAME
      password = QWERTY

Once done, you can boot using the sd card boot mode, and now you will be able to use the wifi.

I hope this helps.

Please mark this thread resolved if it helps you.

Hi Vaibhav,

I'm unable to locate the wificfg file.

Can you please assist me with the file details.

Praveen

Hello Praveen,

I am assuming you are flashing the yocto image as I have mentioned above.

Post that, you can plug in your sd card into the system and you will see a bunch of files as listed below.

Here you will be able to find the wificfg file.

Let me know if this helps.

Vaibhav

Hi Vaibhav,

I am not able to locate the file:

Above is the screenshot for the folder.

Hello Praveen,

Apologies as I referenced the incorrect SDK version.

Currently the wificfg file can be found in SDK version 8 more specifically 08.06.00.42 (24 Feb 2023)

In SDK version 9.0 or greater it is breaking and hence the fix will be coming in the upcoming releases.

Can you please try the SDK version 08.06.00.42 (24 Feb 2023).

Perform the steps as I have mentioned earlier, and you should be good to go.

Regards,

Vaibhav

Hi Vaibhav,

Using the SDK version 8 (08.06.00.42) I was able to bring up the Wi-Fi and was able to connect with the board.

Can you please help me with the settings for Wi-Fi direct connection as well, the eventual goal is to develop a screen mirroring application.

Regards,

Praveen

Hello Praveen,

Glad to hear that you have been able to establish wifi connection.

Can you elaborate more on what you meant by direct connection? As you are already connected right?

Vaibhav

Hi Vaibhav,

By WiFi direct I mean to establish a Pear to pear (P2P) connection.

The P2P mode details are provided in this document: WiLink8 Advanced Features

Hello Praveen,

Hi Krunal,

I'm trying to establish a Pear to Pear (P2P) connection as per the section 2.5 of the document WiLink8 Linux Advanced Demos.

I am able to locate the directory and able to run: p2p_start.sh

Although I'm facing issue when I try to run: p2p_cli.sh

Regards,

Praveen

Hi Praveen,

Could you please provide a little more detail on what issue you are facing when you run that script?
