== Murata 1DX WiFi module firmware ==
VisionSOM-6ULx modules with NXP i.MX 6 processor can have built-in 1DX WiFi module by Murata. 1DX can work as:
* STA (station) - in this mode VisionSOM-6ULx can connect to existing WiFi networks
* AP (access point) - in this mode VisionSOM-6ULx creates WiFi network that other devices can connect to
In order to use VisionSOM-6ULx Murata 1DX module in both modes you need to download and extract firmware:
<pre>root@somlabs:~# cd ~
root@somlabs:~# wget --no-check-certificate https://somlabs.com/os_images/visionsom-6ull-bcmfirmware.tar.xz
root@somlabs:~# cd /
root@somlabs:/# tar -xJf /root/visionsom-6ull-bcmfirmware.tar.xz</pre>
To be able to access WiFi module you also need to unblock it with RF-kill:
<pre>root@somlabs:~# apt install rfkill
root@somlabs:~# rfkill unblock all</pre>
== Murata 1DX as STA ==
In case of connection to secured WiFi network wpasupplicant is required, install it and restart connman:
<pre>root@somlabs:~# apt install wpasupplicant
root@somlabs:~# service connman restart</pre>

Now you can use connmanctl to connect to network, run it:
<pre>root@somlabs:~# connmanctl</pre>
Enable wifi:
<pre>connmanctl> enable wifi</pre>
To be able to list and connect to secured network you need to issue this command:
<pre>connmanctl> agent on</pre>
List available WiFi networks:
<pre>connmanctl> services
services
*AO Wired ethernet_c6e05be9f643_cable
iPhone (xxx) wifi_dcefca002b89_6950686f6e6520284a6163656b29_managed_psk
ppp1200 wifi_dcefca002b89_70707031323030_managed_psk</pre>
Above you can see two WiFi networks: ppp1200 and iPhone (xxx), to connect to ppp1200:
<pre>connmanctl> connect wifi_dcefca002b89_70707031323030_managed_psk</pre>
Now you can exit connmanctl:
<pre>connmanctl> exit </pre>

== Murata 1DX as AP ==
Install hostapd ('''Host''' '''a'''ccess '''p'''oint '''d'''aemon) and udhcpd (DHCP server, it will provide IP addresses for connected devices):
<pre>root@somlabs:~# apt install hostapd udhcpd</pre>
Create hostapd.conf file, it will contain AP configuration:
<pre>root@somlabs:~# nano /etc/hostapd.conf</pre>
You can use this configuration, it will create AP with SOMLABS SSID and "12345678" password:
<pre>interface=wlan0
ssid=SOMLABS
wpa_passphrase=12345678
# g for IEEE 802.11g (2.4 GHz)
hw_mode=g
# channel number
channel=11
# real SSID in beacons
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
# IEEE 802.11n (HT) enabled
ieee80211n=1
# Enable WMM
wmm_enabled=1
# Shared Key Authentication (requires WEP)
auth_algs=1
# WPA2 enabled
wpa=2
# WPA-PSK key management
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
# Use AES for pairwise keys
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
# Log all to syslog
logger_syslog=-1
# Log all to stdout
logger_stdout=-1
# Syslog verbose level = informational messages
logger_syslog_level=2
# Stdout verbose level = informational messages
logger_stdout_level=2
# Interface for external control program
ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
# Access for control interface for root group (gid=0)
# Be careful not to add whitespaces after gid
ctrl_interface_group=0
# Max. number of stations in station table
max_num_sta=255</pre>

Open /etc/udhcpd.conf file:
<pre>root@somlabs:~# nano /etc/udhcpd.conf</pre>
Replace its contents with:
<pre>start 192.168.2.10
end 192.168.2.254
interface wlan0
opt dns 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
opt subnet 255.255.255.0
opt router 192.168.2.1
opt lease 864000</pre>

Now switch WiFi module mode to AP:
<pre>root@somlabs:~# echo 2 > /sys/module/bcmdhd/parameters/op_mode</pre>
Set WiFi module IP address:
<pre>root@somlabs:~# ip addr add 192.168.2.1/24 dev wlan0</pre>
Start hostapd and DHCP server:
<pre>root@somlabs:~# hostapd -B /etc/hostapd.conf
root@somlabs:~# udhcpd /etc/udhcpd.conf</pre>
Hostapd -B parameter causes that process is run as a daemon. In case of trouble you can add -d, -dd or -ddd parameters to hostapd command to get more informations.
At this point you should be able to connect to SOMLABS access point with "12345678" password and your device should receive IP address from DHCP server.

'''Note!''' You may need to kill existing wpa_supplicant and hostapd processes as they can conflict with hostapd:
<pre>root@somlabs:~# pkill wpa_supplicant
root@somlabs:~# pkill hostapd<pre>
