RaspberryPi-Pico-W is not getting WiFi

[acassis]

Hi @curuvar someone told me that raspberrypi-pico-w was not working with recent kernel, then I tested to confirm:

---

SDK Setup:

$ cd /home/alan

$ git clone -b 1.1.2 https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-sdk.git

$ export PICO_SDK_PATH=/home/alan/pico-sdk

---

NuttX Conf. / Compilation

$ cd nuttxspace/nuttx

$ ./tools/configure.sh raspberrypi-pico-w:telnet

$ make menuconfig

Application Configuration --->
Network Utilities --->
-*- Network initialization --->
WAPI Configuration --->
(PutHereYourRouterName) SSID
(PutHereYourRouterPassword) Passprhase

$ make -j

Press and hold BOOTSEL button, then plug the USB Cable

Copy nuttx.uf2 para RPI-RP2 disk

Any news guys?

[acassis]

Still failing here! I enabled the debug network and got more info about the error:

nsh> ifconfig

        inet addr:127.0.0.1 DRaddr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0

nsh> wapi psk wlan0 MyPassword 3
wpa_driver_wext_process_auth_param: ERROR: SIOCSIWAUTH(param 0 value 0x4) failed: 1)
ERROR: Process command (psk) failed.

It will need more investigation from people using this board...

@PeterBee97 Do I need to have the "Infineon 43439 firmware file" to get the WiFi working? There is not documentation about it in the README.tx file

Sorry Alan, I only have the old Pico without W and haven't worked with WiFi on this board. @anchao Any idea?

[anchao]

I do not have pico W on hand, just placed an order, I will fix this issue later.

[anchao]

@acassis @TA1DB please help to review PR #8439 , which fixed CYW43 not working properly on pico-W

[anchao]

Please note that the setup process of the cyw43 driver has changed:

1. Download Raspberry Pi Pico SDK and update submodule(cyw43-driver)

  $ git clone -b 1.4.0 https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-sdk.git
  $ cd pico-sdk
  $ git submodule update --init --recursive lib/cyw43-driver
...

I am encountering this issue again using the 2.0.0 pico-sdk. The wireless driver appears to be the same version: lib/cyw43-driver/firmware/43439A0-7.95.49.00.combined

I am using the telnet configuration as well.

nsh> wapi psk wlan0 "myPassword" 3
[ 9] netdev_ifr_ioctl: cmd: 35634
[ 9] wpa_driver_wext_process_auth_param: ERROR: SIOCSIWAUTH(param 0 value 0x4) failed: 1)

nsh> ifup wlan0

ifup wlan0...Failed

I encountered the same error with pico sdk 2.0. Performed "git submodule update --init --recursive lib/cyw43-driver".

I set SSID and passphrase in menuconfig, and also tried to set them in nsh.

nsh> renew wlan0
ERROR: netlib_obtain_ipv4addr() failed
nsh> ifconfig wlan0
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00 at DOWN mtu 5nsh>
nsh>
nsh> ifup wlan0
ifup wlan0...Failed

ChatGPT suggested to set mac address:
ifconfig wlan0 hw ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (e.g., 28:CD:C1:0A:38:9A)
but got error:
nsh: ifconfig: argument invalid

nsh> wapi show wlan0
wlan0 Configuration:
IP: 0.0.0.0
NetMask: 255.255.255.0
nsh> wapi scan wlan0
nsh> wapi scan_results wlan0
nsh> ifup wlan0
ifup wlan0...Failed

May @anchao or someone else please investigate this issue again?

Since this issue is closed, I submitted a new issue: #13828 with regarding to Pi Pico SDK 2.0
