Hello,

I’m sorry to hear about the difficulties you’re experiencing with connecting your iPhone to the Wi-Fi access point on your Verdin iMX8M Plus module. Let’s go through some steps to troubleshoot this issue:

1. Verify Configuration Settings:

   • Double-check the SSID and password you configured using nmcli to ensure they match what you are entering on your iPhone.
   • Confirm that the uap0 interface is correctly configured and active. You can verify this by running nmcli device status to see if uap0 is listed and active.

2. Check NetworkManager Configuration:

   • After removing the 99-disable-uap.conf file, ensure no other configuration files are interfering with the uap0 interface.
   • Restart the NetworkManager service with sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager after making changes to ensure they take effect.

3. Compatibility and Security Settings:

   • Ensure the security settings (WPA-PSK, RSN, CCMP) are supported by your iPhone. Some devices may have issues with certain security protocols.
   • Consider simplifying the security settings temporarily to see if the iPhone can connect, then gradually reintroduce security features.

4. Software and Firmware Updates:

   • Make sure your Torizon OS and any related firmware are up to date, as updates can resolve connectivity issues by fixing known bugs.

5. Logs and Diagnostics:

   • Check the system logs for any error messages related to the Wi-Fi setup. Use journalctl -u NetworkManager to view logs that might provide more insight into the issue.

6. Test with Other Devices:

   • Try connecting a different device to the access point to determine if the issue is specific to the iPhone.

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue preventing your iPhone from connecting to the Wi-Fi access point. If the problem persists, further investigation into the specific configurations and logs may be necessary.
