The STM32MP1-BSB Rev 2A board features an M.2 connector and supports SDIO/UART modules.

This application note describes how to enable WiFi/Bluetooth support using the AW-NB136NF M.2 module.

To use the AW-NB136NF M.2 module, the following preparations should be done:

  • create the /lib/firmware/brcm directory

  • copy the firmware files to the /lib/firmware/brcm directory on the board:

  • reboot the board.

1. WiFi

Use the following step-wise procedure to enable WiFi on the board:

  1. Initialize the wpa_supplicant module:

    / # wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
    Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
    
  2. In another Linux shell window, validate that you can see the Access Points in the vicinity of the board:

    / # wpa_cli -i wlan0 scan
    OK
    / # wpa_cli -i wlan0 scan_results

  3. Disable eth0, connect to the Internet over WiFi:

    / # ifconfig eth0 down
    / # wpa_cli -i wlan0 add_network 
    1
    / # wpa_cli -i wlan0 set_network 1 ssid '"name-of-access-point"'
    OK
    / # wpa_cli -i wlan0 set_network 1 psk '"password-to-access-point"'
    OK
    / # wpa_cli -i wlan0 enable_network 1
    OK

  4. Ping a public host:

    / # ping -c 3 google.com

2. Bluetooth

Use the following step-wise procedure:

  1. Initialize the Bluetooth module on the board. Validate that the initialization has completed successfully:

    / # hciattach /dev/ttySTM7 any -t120 115200 flow
    ...
    HCI Reset is done
    Setting TTY to N_HCI line discipline
    Device setup complete
    / # hciconfig hci0 up
    / # hciconfig
    hci0:   Type: Primary  Bus: UART
            BD Address: 61:47:AA:32:44:07  ACL MTU: 1024:7  SCO MTU: 60:8

            TX bytes:1166 acl:0 sco:0 commands:72 errors:0
    
  2. Switch on some Bluetooth devices in the vicinity of the board. Validate that the board detects them:

    / # hcitool scan
    Scanning ...
