Hello Nisha,

Thank you for reaching out with your WiFi connectivity issue on the Verdin iMX8M Plus with TorizonCore 6.8.2. Let’s go through some steps to help resolve the problem:

1. Verify WiFi Hardware and Configuration:

   • Ensure that the WiFi module is properly connected and recognized by the system. Use nmcli device to list network devices and confirm that mlan0 is listed.
   • Check that the WiFi module is enabled by using nmcli radio wifi on.

2. Check NetworkManager Logs:

   • Use the command journalctl -xe NM_CONNECTION=<connection-uuid> + NM_DEVICE=mlan0 to view detailed logs. Replace <connection-uuid> with the actual UUID of your connection.
   • Look for any specific error messages that might indicate the cause of the timeout.

3. 802.1X Authentication Settings:

   • Ensure that your WiFi network requires 802.1X authentication and that the correct credentials and settings are configured in NetworkManager.
   • Verify the configuration file for the connection in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ and ensure that the eap method and credentials are correctly set.

4. NetworkManager Configuration:

   • Consider increasing the timeout settings for 802.1X authentication in NetworkManager. Edit the connection settings to increase the auth-timeout parameter if available.

5. Driver and Firmware Updates:

   • Ensure that the WiFi driver and firmware are up to date. Check for any updates or patches that might be available for your setup.

6. Test with a Different Network:

   • If possible, test the connection with a different WiFi network to rule out network-specific issues.

By following these steps, you should be able to diagnose and potentially resolve the WiFi connectivity issue. If the problem persists, further investigation into the software configuration may be necessary.

WiFi Access Point only allows one connection

My setup: Colibri iMX8X - Viola Carrier Board - TorizonCore (5.7.0+build.17) Hi, I’ve setup a wifi access point using the instructions found here: Networking with TorizonCore | Toradex Developer Center The AP seems to work fine - it allows any device (pc, laptop, phone) to connect and DHCP assigns an ip address to it. I can use that to reach the unit via ssh etc… However, I’ve noticed a unexpected (at least to me) behavior… It seems to allow only one device to be connected to the AP at any…

Colibri IMX8X Wifi IEEE 802.11ac

Hello, I’m working on a custom carrier board housing a Colibri iMX8DX 1GB WB module. We’re currently using the integrated wifi module in access point mode with a dhcp server behind it. Everything is working so far while using IEEE 802.11g, we can connect to the access point over 2.4 GHz but the speed is limited to 54 Mbps. We need to use the 802.11ac mode if possible, or at least the 802.11n (Wifi 4) mode. I tried following this tutorial to no success: the access point is not started with t…
