Linux/WL1831MOD: WL1831 has AP Mod in WPS support ? or NOT ?

Hi ,
Yes WiLink8 supports WPS in AP mode. Pls consult section 1.3 : www.ti.com/.../swru423a.pdf
BTS file is for Bluetooth and not WiFi . FYI: We do our testing on Linux .

Thanks,
Saurabh

Hi Saurabh Narang,

Thanks for the response.

I am following this below link to enable WPS in AP mode.

processors.wiki.ti.com/.../WiLink8_WLAN_Demo:_Linux

I just followed the README-WPS file for hostapd.conf Configuration

While Running the ap_start.sh , I m getting the below log

Help me to resolve this Issue.

Hi ,
The instructions provided in the link above are for Linux OS . All instructions may not directly apply to Android. As I mentioned before, we do our testing on Linux . You may enable hotspot using Android GUI , make sure hostapd is running and then launch hostapd_cli to test wps pbc

Saurabh

Hi Saurabh Narang,

Thanks for reply.

As per you said, I verified that the hostapd is running with TOP command

Here is the log for that,

2006 0 0% S 11 845516K 25672K bg bluetoot org.codeaurora.bluetooth

2143 0 0% Z 1 0K 0K fg wifi hostapd

3 0 0% S 1 0K 0K fg root ksoftirqd/0

4 0 0% S 1 0K 0K fg root kworker/0:0

Then, If I lanch hostapd_cli , its not connecting

Could not connect to hostapd – re-trying

Kindly help me to resolve this issue.

Hi ,
You haven't mentioned the interface argument for hostapd_cli . please use 'hostapd_cli -i <interface>' where <interface> is hotspot/ap interface

Thanks
Saurabh

Hi Saurabh Narang,

I  am getting the Same result by mentioning the Interface. Please find the below log.

Hi ,
In this case you will need to debug this at your end since we don't see this issue on Linux . Pointers :
- run netcfg and check if wlan0 is station or AP interface .
- how did you confirm if AP/hostspot was running ok ?

Thanks,
Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,
=> In station and AP mode it shows only wlan0.
=> We establish connection with other device (connect from any phone) to confirm AP/hotspot working successfully.

Is your testing completed on linux.?

Regards,
karthi

Karthi ,
Did you try this with super user access ? enter 'su' and then enter 'hostapd_cli - i wlan0' .
Yes, we do all our testing on linux

Thanks
Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,
I'm using super user access only.
root@sabresd_6dq:/ #

Could you please make it fast on WPS testing and give me the procedure. We need to complete soon.

Regards,
karthi

Hi , We don't test it on Android . We don't see this issue on Linux and it is not related to WiLink8 . You will need to debug this at your end.

Thanks
Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,
Can you give me the linux test procedure for following task:
=> How to turn on the Hotspot
=> How to run the WPS

Can you give me the commands and respective result logs.


Regards,
Karthi

Hi ,
On linux we run scripts to start AP mode . Details: processors.wiki.ti.com/.../WiLink8_WLAN_Demo:_Linux

Hi Saurabh,
Can you attach your ./ap_start.sh for my reference.


Regards,
Karthi

Hi ,
For scripts you can clone git.ti.com/.../wl18xx-target-scripts and checkout branch sitara-scripts

Thanks
Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,

Thank you for your replay,

Can you provide the actual script in which you had done your testing

I am not sure that my script is working properly


Regards,
Karthi
