I have deployed the Legato 19.02 application framework on my mangOH red + wp76xx board using the Leaf workspace manager environment. Now I am trying to use the onboard WiFi capabilities of the mangOH red development board.
I have been reading different posts on the mangOH Forum, and I found a reference to some instructions described in “mangOH Red mt7697 WiFi using WPx5xx, WP76xx or WP77xx”; I am following this approach, but I am having some issues in following up, as the information does not relate specifically to a Legato leaf deployed workspace. I have managed to update the onboard MediaTek MT7697 firmware as described, but I am stuck in the “Patch Legato” section. The “Legato_patches” folder, which is included in mangOH VM, only provides updates up to the Legato 18.09.00 version, so there seems to be no patches for my Legato 19.02 AF. I am not even sure if the patches are already incorporated in the latest Legato 19.02 AF so there may be no need to patch Legato 19.02 at all. At this point I am wondering if there is an updated tutorial on how to make use of the onboard WiFi capabilities of the mangOH red running a newer Legato 19.02 AF?
I will appreciate if somebody can point me on the right direction on how to proceed and start using WiFi on my deployed Legato 19.02 AF. Thanks, in advanced.
I have managed to build an updated legato system build based on 19.02 using the wifi.sdef system definition file located in $LEGATO_ROOT/modules/WiFi folder. The build required me to follow the steps described in the “Migrate from Legato 18.09.0 to 19.02.0” post, because running “mksys -t wp76xx wifi.sdef” was heaving some issues.
So basically, I had to:
Run “make wp76xx” within the Legato directory.
source $LEGATO_ROOT/build/wp76xx/config.sh into my environment aka leaf shell.
Then run “mksys -t wp76xx wifi.sdef”
Finally “update wifi.wp76xx.update 192.168.2.2”
So now I can see the WiFi related apps when I execute the “app status” on my mangOH red target board. However, when I try to start the wifiApTest app, using the “app start wifiApTest” command, I get the following messages in the logread output and the app stops; I am assuming I am still missing the Mediatek mt7697 patches updates. Any comments:

Finally I managed to get it working. Here is a brief description, in case somebody finds it useful. Note that I followed the documentation regarding “Leaf Workspace Manager”, so in my mangOH development VM I have ~/myWorkspace folder where I tested the different tutorials described in the documentation.
In the Sample Apps section of the documentation there are multiple WiFi sample apps listed, which I found in $LEGATO_ROOT/modules/WiFi/apps/sample folder. I decided to copy the $LEGATO_ROOT/modules/WiFi folder into myWorksape folder and work locally in myWorkspace.
As I was working on a Leaf workspace deployment based on Legato 19.02, I stop following the instructions once I got to the “Patch Legato” section.
Now, back to myWorkspace folder, “cd ~/myWorkspace/WiFi”. Copy the ~/mangOH/linux_kernel_modules into the WiFi folder.
Edit the wifi.sdef file and include some required kernel modules:
kernelModules:
{
linux_kernel_modules/mt7697wifi/mt7697wifi_core
linux_kernel_modules/cp2130/cp2130
linux_kernel_modules/mt7697q/mt7697q
linux_kernel_modules/mt7697serial/mt7697serial
}
Rebuild the new system deployment using the wifi.sdef definition file “mksys -t wp76xx wifi.sdef”
Update the new system deployment “update wifi.wp76xx.update 192.168.2.2”
Deploy required WiFi scripts. I used the approach described in the video above. Alternatively you can: cd linux_kernel_modules/mt7697wifi/scripts scp mtwifi root@192.168.2.2:/etc/init.d/mtwifi scp interfaces root@192.168.2.2:/etc/network/interfaces
Make the WiFi init script executable in the target: ssh root@192.168.2.2 chmod +x /etc/init.d/mtwifi
Setup the UART; run these commands on the target
Run microcom /dev/ttyAT
Run the AT command at!mapuart=17,1 to configure UART1 for use with mt7697 WiFi
Press ctrl-x to exit
Power cycle the mangOH Red
After system power cycle, I was able to ssh into the target and run the command “/sbin/ifup wlan1” which successfully enabled the wlan1 interface. You can see it listed by running the command “ifconfig -a”
I believe so. In the VM, I am working in the ~/legato_framework/legato directory where I have copied over the WiFi directory and the linux_kernel_modules folder is inside of it.
The wifi folder needs to be directly under legato_framework, not the legato subfolder. Move it up one level so it’s ~/legato_framework/Wifi and see if it works.
As well as the same error on the target device: insmod: can’t insert ‘/legato/systems/current/modules/mt7697wifi_core.ko’: No such file or directory
The weird thing is that if I navigate to /home/mangoh/legato_framework/WiFi/_build_wifi/wp77xx/modules/mt7697wifi_core/ after the build there is a mt7697wifi_core.ko file.
There was also another similar Warning the I hadn’t seen before. Looking at old terminal outputs though it had been there I just hadn’t seen it:
hi am trying to use wifi module, when i check for app status i didnt find the any wifi services running in my mangoh red board and when i issued WIFI command getting the error command not executing here i have attached the screenshot for refernce , could any one guide me what are the steps to be followed to access wifi
