Hello!

To achieve your goal of enabling AP mode on the AzureWave AW-CM276NF module, setting up a Flask server, and then switching to station mode, you can follow these steps:

1. Enable AP Mode:

   • Ensure your Toradex module is running TorizonCore, which supports the AzureWave AW-CM276NF module.
   • Use the iw command to configure the Wi-Fi module in AP mode. Set the SSID and configure the IP address for the AP using hostapd to manage the AP settings.

2. Set Up a Flask Server:

   • Install Python and Flask on your Toradex module. This can be done by creating a Docker container with the necessary dependencies.
   • Develop a simple Flask application that runs on the IP address assigned to your AP. This application should provide a web interface for users to input the SSID and password for station mode.

3. Switch to Station Mode:

   • After the user inputs the SSID and password via the Flask web interface, use a script to switch the Wi-Fi module to station mode.
   • Use nmcli (NetworkManager command-line tool) to connect to the specified Wi-Fi network with a command like:

     nmcli dev wifi connect "SSID" password "PASSWORD"
     

   • Ensure the Flask server is stopped or reconfigured to bind to the new IP address obtained in station mode.

4. Simultaneous Operation:

   • Running both AP and station modes simultaneously is complex and generally not recommended due to potential conflicts. It’s best to manage transitions between modes using scripts and Docker containers to isolate processes.

By following these steps, you can configure your Toradex module to switch between AP and station modes while using a Flask server to manage the transition. Be sure to test each step thoroughly to handle any connectivity issues that may arise.

Surface-mount WiFi module for custom Apalis carrier board

G’day, I’m finalising the last few elements of my Apalis-based board design, and am currently investigating WiFi options.
