Unable to access a SMB v1 share from WEC13 running on IMX6

Colibri iMX6s 256MB V1.0A
Colibri Evaluation board V3.2A
WEC13 BSP 1.8
Windows 10 Laptop with SMB V1 enabled

With the IMX6 SOC I cannot access a shared folder on my laptop even with SMB V1 specifically enabled.
The error message is rather generic “Bad network path”.
This works using a VF50 SBC running an older version of CE (CE6).

Any advice of what I can try?
Can Toradex confirm if this works as per documentation?

Thanks and best regards
Denis

  • On some modules (e.g. Colibri iMX6S/DL), the Ethernet Adapter must be enabled to accept SMB requests. This can be done

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\SMBServer]
AdapterList=“ENET1;”

Please refer to this article for more details - https://developer-archives.toradex.com/knowledge-base/smb

Hi Toradex

From what I can see the suggestion is for the reverse.
In my case I wish the iMX6 can access a shared folder on another device.
Meaning the iMX6 is a client, not a server.

Is there some documentation for this?

Thanks and best regards

Does access to SMB share works if you install WEC 7 on your imx6 SOC?

Hi Toradex

In a word: yes, it works in CE7.
Although I had some trouble getting it to work as I used the IP address of my laptop in the command, and it somehow did not like it. Changing to my PC name it works.

With CE8 it gets to the point where it asks for username, password and domain.
Once these are entered CE8 comes up with a dialog saying
“A system shell must be present to support executing folder paths or shell extensions”.

Not sure if the screen shot works

Please note that this is on a small LAN without DHCP server.
Three devices with static IP.

Thanks
Denis

Have Toradex been able to reproduce the issue I have encountered?

Thanks
Denis

Could you please provide all related settings you’ve done?

Hi

The whole test setup consists of one Windows 10 Home PC, one Netgear switch and one Toradex Evaluation board with iMX6 module (and relevant Ethernet cables).

IMX6 module
Flash with Toradex standard image.
Set IP to static IP

PC:
SMB V1 enabled
image

Local user added
image

Share created
image

IPV4 set to static IP

Result
With WEC7 installed on the IMX6 I can connect from the SOC to my PC and browse the share folder.
With WEC8 installed on the IMX6 the error message shown earlier in this thread is shown.

Thanks

Unfortunate access to net share though explorer are not implemented on WEC2013. Please try net use command instead.

Hi

I can confirm that if I use the “net use” command I can in fact connect.

Thanks
