All wifi commands failing with Mirage board

rauger1 · January 4, 2018, 11:35pm

Hello,

Recently I posted here: USB driver failing to find or power USBs - #5 by rauger1 about my usb driver not working on the new mangoh reds we purchased. It was suggested to me that we purchase the special WiFi module here: MIRAGE-PIFA Sierra Wireless by Talon | Development Boards, Kits, Programmers | DigiKey. This wifi module does not seem to have support on the mangoh Red though. It does work on the green.

I am experiencing this problem, and another user here: WiFi client error on mangoOH Red - #2 by rauger1 is experiencing a similar problem. The wifi commands are not working as they are on the Mangoh Green, and returning:

ERROR:le_wifiAp_Start returns -6.

Here is the error log for the mangoh red when running “wifi ap start”:

I made the error codes bold for visibility. Apparently the driver cannot write i2c data? There is a similar question here: Request for advice on board bring up of a Custom board with WP8548 + Ti Wifi chipset Board bring up which has not been answered.

This error is occurring on all of our boards fresh out of the box

Is this a known bug, or do you know of a solution to this issue? If anyone has gotten the wifi module working on their red, please let me know!

Thank you for your help in advance!

Is there another support avenue to address this issue since we are all encountering this issue on MangOH Red? Also I have questions on USB cellular connections over USB using connman that the community isn’t able to answer or help resolve. Does MangOH provide support for their products beyond the community when they fail to work as advertised? And what and where is this support? MangOH we natives are restless and need assistance!

So, I saw something new. After the ‘wifi ap start’ command, logread is re-populated constantly, multiple times a second, with this recurring message below. I have no idea why it is doing this, or what it indicates, but I imagine it is related:

Jan 6 00:01:11 swi-mdm9x15 user.info kernel: [ 61.830978] gpio_sync_ri: RI owner is Modem

Jan 6 00:01:11 swi-mdm9x15 user.debug kernel: [ 61.834274] export_store: status -16

I have updated logs - I updated the board to legato 17.10 and ran ‘wifi ap start’ again. The issue is persistent. While the board and commands work on the mangoh green, it fails on the mangoh red. Is there anything in the logs that gives you a hint at the error?

Thank you for your help in advance!

Can we confirm with the Sierra team that the wifi board does not work on the ManoghRed device?

asyal · February 3, 2018, 4:07pm

Hi Roger,

the issue is that the gpio used to control wifi reset is different for red and green. We will provide you the changes you need to do on wifinitscript file next week. Are you using WP76? @dclark75 lets wall him through on Monday/Tuesday.

Ashish

rauger1 · February 5, 2018, 8:03pm

@asyal,

I’m using a wp85 for both the Red and Green, but I could find a wp76 around here. Changes need to be made in the wifiinitscript - what is the name of that script in the mangoh directory?

I sincerely appreciate your willingness to work with me through this and the time you all are taking to address our issues, it goes a long way!

dclark75 · February 6, 2018, 11:22pm

@rauger1 to get the tiwifi working with a wp85 on a mangOH Red do the following:

install release 14 on the device
update the tiwifi script on the device
- copy /etc/init.d/tiwifi -> /etc/init.d/tiwifi.bak
- overwrite the tiwifi script with the attached tiwifi file

Is there anything that pops out to you that I could be doing wrong?

@rauger can you try this - reboot board and do a dmesg -c to clear kernel logs - then try /sbin/ifup wlan0 - and see if this command succeeds - double check by seeing if the wlan0 interface shows up using ifconfig. If you see it fails can u do another dmesg -c and paste output here.

asyal · February 7, 2018, 7:24pm

how are you powering the board? Through a computer or through a USB to wall adapter?

rauger1 · February 7, 2018, 7:32pm

I am powering the Mangoh Red with a computer USB cable

asyal · February 7, 2018, 7:33pm

Could you change that? I am wondering if the power from your computer is not enough to support cellular + WiFi simultaneously

rauger1 · February 7, 2018, 7:50pm

Ok adjusted the mangoh to receive power from a wall socket usb and I’m sshing using the other port, and I receive the same error

rauger1 · February 7, 2018, 7:53pm

Here is the setup in case you’re wondering. When i set the required fields for wifi_ap, I still receive the -6 error and logread outputs the same. But dmesg -c doesnt show anything…:

root@swi-mdm9x15:~# /sbin/ifup wlan0

root@swi-mdm9x15:~# dmesg -c

asyal · February 8, 2018, 1:37am

Seems like the driver did load for you.
Does the client mode work for you? We’ll try the AP mode tomorrow to test.

dclark75 · February 9, 2018, 6:12pm

@rauger did you use the tiwifi script i sent to you? looks like your tiwifi script is still failing - i will try to send to you in a message again

dclark75 · February 9, 2018, 6:26pm

@rauger tried again and here is my outputs:
