Based on the context provided, it seems that the issue you’re facing is related to setting up Wi-Fi Access Point mode on a TorizonCore system with the Verdin iMX8M Plus. The error message indicates a problem with the network interface configuration, specifically that the expected Wi-Fi interfaces (like uap0 and mlan0) are not being recognized.

Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

  1. Verify Wi-Fi Module Compatibility: Ensure that the Wi-Fi module you are using is compatible with the Verdin iMX8M Plus and is supported by TorizonCore. You can refer to the “3rd Party Modules Tested with Toradex COMs” section in the Wi-Fi Connectivity article for a list of tested modules.

  2. Check Interface Names: The interface names (uap0, mlan0) might differ based on the kernel driver and userspace configuration. Use the ip link or nmcli device command to list all network interfaces and verify their names.

  3. Kernel and Driver Configuration: Ensure that the necessary kernel modules and drivers for your Wi-Fi module are loaded. You might need to check the kernel configuration to ensure that the required drivers are enabled.

  4. NetworkManager Configuration: The error message suggests a mismatch in the interface name. Check the NetworkManager configuration to ensure that the correct interface names are being used in the connection profiles.

  5. Logs and Diagnostics: Check system logs (journalctl -xe) for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context on the issue.

  6. TorizonCore Version: Since you are using a nightly version of TorizonCore, consider testing with a stable release to see if the issue persists. Nightly builds might have unresolved issues or changes that could affect functionality.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to reach out to Toradex technical support for further assistance, as they can provide more specific guidance based on your hardware and software configuration.
