WiFi
Note: This WiFi section was tested with the iMX8M Industrial Module in Max and Pro configurations. For Basic configuration, wireless connectivity can be achieved via PCIe Mini and/or M.2 key B slots located on the baseboard. For more information see the iMX8M Industrial Module comparison.
Note: Only the Basic configuration of iMX8M Industrial Module provides access to PCI Express signals via PCIe Mini and M.2 key B sockets soldered on the baseboard, instead of using the interface for WiFi and Bluetooth module on the COM.

To set up the network login data, edit file located in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and update ssid and passphrase psk fields.
root@imx8mq-voipac:~# cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
update_config=1
network={
ssid="SSID_FOR_WIFI_NETWORK"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="WIFI_NETWORK_PASSWORD"
}
To connect to the desired WiFi network, start wpa_supplicant:
root@imx8mq-voipac:~# wpa_supplicant -i wlp1s0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf & root@imx8mq-voipac:~# Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant rfkill: Cannot open RFKILL control device wlp1s0: Trying to associate with 40:a5:ef:c0:70:62 (SSID='CPE_C0[ 188.254851] mwifiex_pcie 0000:01:00.0: info: trying to associate to 'CPE_C07061' bssid 40:a5:ef:c0:70:62 7061' freq=2462 MHz) [ 188.334475] mwifiex_pcie 0000:01:00.0: info: associated to bssid 40:a5:ef:c0:70:62 successfully wlp1s0: Associated with 40:a5:ef:c0:70:62 wlp1s0: CTRL-EVENT-SUBNET-STATUS-UPDATE status=0 [ 188.351598] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlp1s0: link becomes ready wlp1s0: WPA: Key negotiation completed with 40:a5:ef:c0:70:62 [PTK=CCMP GTK=CCMP] wlp1s0: CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 40:a5:ef:c0:70:62 completed [id=0 id_str=]
To obtain an IP address and other network settings, run dhcp client:
udhcpc -i wlp1s0
At this point the bandwidth measurement can be tested, showing that WiFi connection was established and is performed very reliably.

Input: Power on board
Output: Store some data to eeprom and after reboot read it back and should be same
# store random 8bytes to eeprom root@imx93-voipac-evk:~# dd if=/dev/urandom of=/sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0050/eeprom bs=8 count=1 +1 records in 0+1 records out 8 bytes copied, 0.0225523 s, 0.4 kB/s
After board reboot:

Reset button
Input: Press the RESET button
Output: The board will execute bootloader immediately with "Reset cause: POR"
Note: iMX93 Industrial Development Kit should never freeze or hang after the reset button was pressed. Testing the operation 10 times gives a reliable result
