To set up the network login data, edit file located in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and update ssid and passphrase psk fields.
root@imx93-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:

To obtain an IP address and other network settings, run dhcp client:
udhcpc -i mlan0
At this point the bandwidth measurement can be tested, showing that WiFi connection was established and is performed very reliably.

USB-C
This connector is primarily used for flashing new binaries into the iMX93 Industrial Module. More information can be found on the dedicated module flashing page.
USB Micro-B serial console
Input: Connect USB console cable into the base board connector and open serial console with baud rate 115200 8n1
Output: The board is controlled and responsive to serial terminal commands

UART serial console
Serial console is utilized via USB Micro-B connector by default. Alternatively, the communication can be established using UART headers and TTL-232R-3V3 - FTDI cable.
NOTE:Describe jumpers position
Note:Usage of UART2 CONSOLE to communicate by default requires changes in Yocto binaries and new compilation of image files.
SD card
NOTE: Perform detection of SDcard

JTAG
To verify that i.MX8M CPU JTAG is functional, following command identifies and connects to the CPU's debug point:
J-Link> jtagid
Real Time Clock
RTC chip is detected by Linux kernel after start-up:
