nRF7002dk example WiFi SCAN not working

[ujur007]

I have got to start with nRF7002-dk and the Wi-Fi sample from the quick start is not working.

I have tried to compile the code on VS code and flash the same code on the device but still the same problem exists.

Hi,

I would recommend you to take a look at our Wi-Fi Scan Sample docs. This goes through all the steps for scanning for access points and the process for building the sample under samples/wifi/scan in the nRF Connect SDK folder structure. It also goes through which commands to use and testing. Just to confirm, are you also using the nrf7002dk/nrf5340/cpuapp board target while building?

Let me know if you have any further questions about the steps mentioned in the docs or anything else.

Best Regards,

Hi, 

I have done both ways. But I again have rechacked that if it works?

Do I have to change any default kconfigs to get it working?

I am building for nrf7002dk/nrf5340/cpuapp.

Hi,

Just a quick addition to my previous reply:

According to the error which you are receiving, it seems that the interface is not up by the time you scan. This usually happens if the firmware doesn't load or the driver init failed. In some cases, the board target is wrong (not in your case) or a hardware issue if its a custom board. You don't have to modify any default kconfigs. In prj.conf, can you confirm that you have the following enabled?

CONFIG_WIFI=y

CONFIG_NET_L2_WIFI_MGMT=y

CONFIG_WIFI_NRF70=y

CONFIG_NETWORKING=y

These should be enabled in order for the interface to be brought up.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, I have all those configurations enabled in my project. Should I conclude that my board is not useful anymore?

Hi,

Are you able to see any different COM ports?
