Part Number: WL1837MOD
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: WL1837

FCC ID: Z64-WL18DBMOD

IC: 451I-WL18DBMOD

We want to enable the ACS (Automatic Channel Selection) mode for the hostpad utility

for this we use the following

Linux kernel version 4.9.88 (Full config of Linux kernel in attachment)
Hostapd utility from https://git.ti.com/cgit/wilink8-wlan/hostap/ We are using upstream_2p10_rebase branch. We also disabled built-in ACS support inside hostapd (at compile time) to use the ACS mechanism from Texas Instruments. (Full config of hostapd utility in attachment)
WL2637 Firmware version 8.9.0.0.90
WL2637 PHY firmware version 8.2.0.0.246
Settings from current firmware in attachment

At the moment, we have the following situation - hostapd creates a wlan0 interface, but we can't connect to it (also, the new wireless network is not visible in other devices). Log of hostapd in attachment

But at the same time, we can scan other networks

But if we do not use the ACS mode (but specify a specific channel), then there are no problems with the wl1837 chip and the network interface

Thus, tell us how to use the ACS mode for the wl1837 chip
Thanks

Hi Andrew, can you see if this thread helps your issue? https://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless-connectivity/wi-fi-group/wifi/f/wi-fi-forum/1054093/wl1837mod-hostapd

Thank you for the reply. We tried this but we are still unable to connect to the the device's access point.

Ok, can you share some logs? Are you sure that the AP network interface (wlan0 or wlan1) is up? I need some more information to help you better.

Hi Sabeeh, please see hostapd log attached above. We also confirmed that the wlan0 interface is coming up above.

Hi Andrew,

It seems to me ACS is configured and executing correctly. You can see in the logs that the device scanned the 2.4GHz band and selected channel 6 as it saw no other APs, it reports: "(AP Count 0)".

Are you able to use a Wi-Fi sniffer and see if the AP is active?

When your device tries to connect to the softAP, do you see any wlcore driver logs?

Hi Andrew,

I see in your first image that the wl18xx firmware is coming up and down multiple times. Was this something happening on your end? For example you might have executed iw wlan0 down or similar?

Can you confirm that the dhcp server is running on your system?

Confirmed DHCP server is running and firmware going up and down was us experimenting.

Maybe we have not correctly specified something in the config file for hostapd. Could you check out hostapd.conf? Maybe we need to set something additional, some kind of parameter?
