Ultra96-V2 No Wifi or Bluetooth

redmed
redmed over 1 year ago

Hello everyone,

I have recently bought an Ultra96 V2. I managed to flash the SD card with the latest OOB image available from Avnet but the Ultra96 doesn't bring up the Access Point and it doesn't work either when I try with the ./wifi.sh script.
I also tried with the latest Pynq image and I also built with petalinux the latest U96V2 SBC BSP (2022.2) but nothing changes.

Here is the error I have at boot time:

[   13.881500] wilc_sdio mmc1:0001:1 p2p0: Failed to get RSSI value
[   13.894769] power up request for already powered up source Wifi

[   13.907269] wilc_sdio mmc1:0001:1 p2p0: Failed to get mac address
[FAILED] Failed to start Access point for Ultra96.

When trying with wifi.sh:

root@u96v2-sbc-base-2022-2:~# ./wifi.sh

And finally the errors I've got when trying to bring up the Bluetooth interface:

[  470.128734] wilc_sdio mmc1:0001:1 wlan0: Failed to set driver handler

[  479.681822] wilc_sdio mmc1:0001:1 wlan0: WLAN initialization FAILED

I could access another Ultra96 V2 and with the same OOB, the Wifi was brought up so I thought it was an hardware issue with my board. But when I got my new Ultra96 V2 board (100% sure that it's NOT the same as the 1st one), I've got the same issue.

Is there anything special to do or change to use the Wifi/BT module?

Thank you very much.

    No, indeed, it doesn't appear in the output of ifconfig: root@u96v2-sbc-base-2022-2:~# ip a s 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/loopback…

    Hi,  Circumstantially it does seem like a hardware issue, may be a bad batch (purely speculation at this point).  If it helps any, the PYNQ image for V2 has a Jupyter Notebook that can be used to connect to a wifi AP.  If the interface isn't present the NB will probably fail with some cryptic messages, there are some startup scripts that invoke the driver and setup the user space access.  The PYNQ wifi module scripts can be found here: https://github.com/Avnet/Ultra96-PYNQ/tree/master/Ultra96/packages/wilc3000
