Hi,

   We are using AM335x EVM in our PDA project. Wi-Fi  is available in our office. I tried to configure Wi-Fi many times in our evaluation board. But Wi-Fi is not connected. I try to connect add network, enable all and then click scan, I see the network availability and double click the available network .After that I tried all options. I get following messages…in current status,

 1. Scanning

2. Time out

3. in active

4. Failed to search the scan.

Can you please tell me, how to configure Wi-Fi in AM335xmicroprocessor board?

Thanks & Regards,

Senthil

    Senthil,

     

    Copule of questions:

    Which board are you using? is it the am335x-evm board?

    Is this with an Android SDK image or Linux image?

    When the system boots up are you able to bring up the wlan0 inteface and perform scan?

    Are you getting any scan results?

    Hi Senthil,

     

    From the messages you printed it look like you didn't get an IP address from the AP. Is this correct?

    IF you try from the serial console to do "ifconfig wlan0" do you see that the interface got an IP address? Can you ping the AP?

     

    If you don't have an IP try to manually get one using the console using "udhcpc -i wlan0" and see if you are able to get one.

    Hi Senthil,

     

    You would need to figure out why you are not getting an IP from the access point.

    Are you sure you are connected to it?

    What is the output of the "iw wlan0 link" command?

     

    If you are connected, try setting a static IP "ifconfig wlan0 <ip_addr>" in the same subnet of the AP and try pinging it now.
