Ok, the error looks like RE: nRF7002 example code WiFi Scan failing with error: wifi_nrf_disp_scan_zep: rpu_ctx_zep

Have you tried with a better USB cable?

Best regards,

Hi Charlie

I was able to set the mac address
But after that also it is not able to scan the wifi networks

I get these kind of errors

Yes I went through the code
Actually the module which I am using doesn't have any serial port so if I even want to change it through otp command I am not able to as I don't know where to run the command

After adding the code also to set the mac address manually, it gives me the below result

[00:00:00.016,479] <err> wifi_nrf: hal_rpu_reg_read: Error !! Value read at addr_offset = 400 is = FFFFFFFF

Hi Rakshita,

Did you try exactly the codes mentioned in this reply?

The module which I am using to for WIfi is MS12SF1. I can't set a mac address as the mac address can be different for the module.

Tested the wifi scan code with thingy53 and the mac address which it got was different from the one which is hardcoded

A bit confused here what to do as not even sure that whether the mac address is even hard coded in the module or not and also can't set it

So what to do?
