IOT-GATE-iMX8 / SBC-IOT-iMX8 features an optional 802.11ac WiFi interface, implemented with the Intel WiFi 6 AX200 module.

Simple Scanning

  • Activate the interface:
root@iot-gate-imx8:~# ifconfig wlan0 up
  • Sample WiFi scanning:
root@iot-gate-imx8:~# iwlist wlan0 scan

The output will show the list of Access Points and Ad-Hoc cells in range. For more information about tuning WiFi interfaces refer to the “wireless-tools” man pages.

Connecting to an Access Point

The NetworkManager can be used to connect to an access point. In the following example:

  • Replace SSID with the wireless network name.
  • Replace PASSWORD with the wireless network name.
  • Replace Connection-Name with the new connection name.
root@iot-gate-imx8:~# nmcli radio wifi on
root@iot-gate-imx8:~# nmcli dev wifi con "SSID" "PASSWORD" name "Connection-Name"
