Connecting to Wi-Fi using the Wi-Fi shell

[saiff]

Hello,

i've been trying to do some exercices from the devAcademy on my nrf52840 DK but when i tried doing the "lesson_2_exercice_1" this is the result i get : 

[00:00:00.449,279] <inf> wifi_nrf: SPIM spi@4002f000: latency = 0

and when i type the "wifi scan" command nothing happens, even tho i followed the mentioned steps in the exercice

Hi,

 

[00:00:11.209,075] <err> wifi_nrf: nrf_wifi_hal_fw_chk_boot: Boot_sig check faile d for RPU(0), Expected: 0x5A5A5A5A, Actual: 0x0

This indicate that the firmware is unable to communicate with the nRF7002.

Can you share how you build/configure? I assume you're using a nRF7002-EK mounted on the nRF52840-DK?

 

Kind regards,

Håkon

Hi, thank you for your response,

yes indeed i'm using a nrf7002ek with my nrf52840DK, attached are the build/config files and parameters i used.

I also tried to build it adding the nrf7002.overlay and still got the same results.

Kind regard,

also when the "wifi scan" command finally executes this is the result i get

Thanks for the configuration files.

I tried your prj.conf in the "wififund_less2_exer1_solution" sample, and it ran as expected on my nRF52840-DK + nRF7002EK:

[00:00:00.282,501] <inf> wifi_nrf_bus: SPIM spi@4002f000: freq = 8 MHz

Tested it with both ncs v2.5.2 and ncs v2.6.0.

 

Could you try the solution sample and see if this runs as expected on your side?

 

Kind regards,

Hello again, i still have the same problem, perhaps it's a hardware issue
