Hi,

No problem. P22 and P23 are supposed to have the jumpers on 🙂

Best Regards,

Hi Samruddhi,

Ok. It was my mistake. One of the two default jumpers was not there. Now it is working as expected.

Sorry for bothering. Will take care.!

Hi again,

Can you please share a picture of your DK? There might be an issue with missing jumpers. If this is the case, please ensure that both jumpers are on the nRF current measurement connectors. Then, recover the device or power cycle the device and try again.

Let me know if this works or if you are still getting the same error.

Best Regards,

Samruddhi

Hi,

Thanks for providing the whole output. I will look further into this and get back to you. Do you get the same error while using the other COM port as well?

Best Regards,

Samruddhi

Hi,

Yes, here is the full output from the COM port. I can see two COM Ports.

Hi,

Are you able to see any different COM ports?

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,

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.

Best Regards,

Samruddhi

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,

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,

Samruddhi
