Description

Test WiFi WPA3-Transition-Mode access point (AP mode) is working in Apertis. Also check connection is re-established after rebooting the AP.

Resources

  • Two Wi-Fi USB dongles, https://www.apertis.org/reference_hardware/extras/

Pre Conditions

  1. Make sure to connect the Wi-Fi USB dongles to both target and SDK.

Execution Steps

  1. On the target device execute the below steps.
  2. Set configuration parameters for this test case (might be previously defined by tests based on this one):
    3. $ WIFI_KEYMGMT="${WIFI_KEYMGMT:-WPA-PSK SAE}"
    $ WIFI_80211W="${WIFI_80211W:-1}"
  3. Check the wifi interface name (e.g. 'wlan0') running:
    4. $ connmanctl enable wifi
    $ WIFI_SERVICE=$(connmanctl services | grep -m 1 -o 'wifi_.*')
    $ WIFI_IFACE=$(connmanctl services "${WIFI_SERVICE}" | grep -o 'Interface=\w\+' | sed s/Interface=//)
  4. Create the file '/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf' with the following content:

    5. $ sudo tee /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf << EOF

    interface=${WIFI_IFACE:?}

    wpa_key_mgmt=${WIFI_KEYMGMT:?}

    ieee80211w=${WIFI_80211W:?}

    ssid=APERTIS_AP

    auth_algs=1

    wpa=2

    wpa_passphrase=12345678

    sae_password=12345678

    channel=11

    ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd

    driver=nl80211

    ht_capab=[SHORT-GI-20]

    hw_mode=g

    ieee80211ac=1

    ieee80211n=1

    rsn_pairwise=CCMP

    sae_require_mfp=1

    vht_oper_chwidth=0

    wpa_pairwise=CCMP

    EOF

  5. Create the file '/lib/systemd/network/hostapd.network' with the following content:

    6. $ sudo tee /lib/systemd/network/hostapd.network << EOF

    [Match]

    Name=${WIFI_IFACE:?}

    [Network]

    Address=192.168.72.1/24

    DHCPServer=yes

    EOF

  6. Finally, run the following commands on the target device:
    7. $ sudo systemctl stop connman
    $ sudo rfkill unblock wifi
    $ sudo modprobe mac80211
    $ sudo iptables --flush
    $ sudo systemctl restart systemd-networkd
    $ sudo networkctl up ${WIFI_IFACE:?}
    $ sudo systemctl unmask hostapd
    $ sudo systemctl restart hostapd
  7. On the SDK, connect to 'APERTIS_AP' running the following commands:

    8. $ connmanctl

    connmanctl> enable wifi

    connmanctl> agent on

    connmanctl> scan wifi

    Scan completed for wifi

    connmanctl> services

    APERTIS_AP         wifi_1c872cc7c71d_4b45594d4e474d545f50534b_managed_psk

    connmanctl> connect wifi_1c872cc7c71d_4b45594d4e474d545f50534b_managed_psk

    Agent RequestInput wifi_1c872cc7c71d_4b45594d4e474d545f50534b_managed_psk

    Passphrase = [ Type=psk, Requirement=mandatory ]

    Passphrase? 12345678

    Connected wifi_1c872cc7c71d_4b45594d4e474d545f50534b_managed_psk

    connmanctl> services

    *AR APERTIS_AP     wifi_1c872cc7c71d_4b45594d4e474d545f50534b_managed_psk

    connmanctl>

  8. After the connection has been established, reboot the access point by pressing the reboot button on the target device. Then, on the target device, restart the 'systemd-networkd' service, confirm that the wifi interface is up by listing the connman technologies and finally restart 'hostapd' daemon, by running:
    9. $ sudo systemctl restart systemd-networkd
    $ sudo connmanctl technologies
    $ sudo systemctl restart hostapd
  9. On the SDK, reconnect to 'APERTIS_AP' by re-running the previous 'connmanctl' commands.

Expected

After setting up the access point, you should be able to connect from the SDK to the Wi-Fi AP 'APERTIS_AP' running on the target device.

After rebooting the target device, you should be able to reconnect from the SDK to the Wi-Fi access point 'APERTIS_AP' running on the target device.

On the SDK, ensure to be connected to the 'APERTIS_AP' network

$> connmanctl> services
*AR APERTIS_AP     wifi_1c872cc7c71d_4b45594d4e474d545f50534b_managed_psk
connmanctl>

On the target device, the 'hostapd' output log should show a successful connection:

$ journalctl -b -u hostapd
