Diagnosing IoT Wifi Card

Hello,

Hoping someone will have a suggestion for me in regards to the WL18xx on Legato/Yocto.

This is my current version info

Legato Version: 17.06.0_f83005aa5145d934e8e282fffc8f7f25_modified
Firmware Version: SWI9X15Y_07.11.22.00 r33729 CARMD-EV-FRMWR1 2017/01/11 18:04:06
Bootloader Version: SWI9X15Y_07.11.22.00 r33729 CARMD-EV-FRMWR1 2017/01/11 18:04:06
Linux Version: 3.14.29ltsi-a00e464379_3f15cd39ad #2 PREEMPT Mon Feb 20 11:11:17 PST 2017

Following the mangoh docs, I should have high enough versions to support the wl18xx module.

dmesg tells me:

[ 0.395299] wl18xx board initialization done

however, if I try wifi client scan I get:

root@fx30:~# wifi client start
successfully called start.
root@fx30:~# wifi client scan
starting scan
DEBUG: le_wifiClient_GetFirstAccessPoint ERROR

logread gives me:

similar logread output if I try to use the legato wifi client api.

Anywhere I can look?

There is a mismatch on the legato version and firmware. Can you move to release 14 firmware?

Thanks for the reply!

Using the spk from https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/legato/wpx5xxfirmwarerelease14/

Attempting to update (Tried 2 different downloads, didnt look like they had a hash publicly avililbe to reference against)

fwupdate download WPx5xx_Release14_GENERIC_SPK.spk 192.168.2.2
root@192.168.2.2’s password:
Connecting to service …

Error in download

I’ve tried rolling back my legato version to 16.10, didn’t work with that either.

what hardware are you using?

Sierra Wireless fx30

you need to get the proper firmware for FX30 then. I am not sure whether you can simply drop in the standard sierra WP firmware or not.

Thanks for all your help.

Looks like the last released firmware per https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airlink/software_downloads/fx30-firmware/fx30-firmware/ is

Firmware Version: SWI9X15Y_07.11.22.00 r33729 CARMD-EV-FRMWR1 2017/01/11 18:04:06
Bootloader Version: SWI9X15Y_07.11.22.00 r33729 CARMD-EV-FRMWR1 2017/01/11 18:04:06
Linux Version: 3.14.29ltsi-a00e464379_3f15cd39ad #2 PREEMPT Mon Feb 20 11:11:17 PST 2017
FX30 Version: R13.1.2.004

Which is odd considering that per the FX30 datasheet it uses a WP8548-G radio module

Guess its not cross compatible.

Hello ,

I also use the FX30, when I update the framework I receive an error to download
Any ideas as to what’s going on? Thanks you

Best regards,
