FAQ

How do I configure my network connection?

NMCLI should be utilized to configure network interfaces. 

Is it possible to build software packages directly on SOM60 / IG60?

While for the Linux enthusiat it is surely not impossible to build and image for the SOM60 or IG60 that supports on device build capabilities with the given tools, it is neither intended by Laird, nor is it supported.

Reason for this are the limited resources (memory and processing power) an embedded module such as SOM60 and an embedded gateway like the IG60 can offer for on device building capabilities.

The preferred method would be to include any packages desired on the SOM60 or IG60 into the Buildroot SDK.


How can I add my files to a Laird Linux build?

To add files to a Laird Linux build, enable "BR2_ROOTFS_OVERLAY" in your config and provide it with an absolute path to the directory you would like to overlay.  Files in this directory will be inserted relative to "/".  For example, if you would like to add files to "/etc" and the path to the overlay directory is "/buildroot/overlay", create a directory "/buildroot/overlay/etc/<files>".

Should I use Adaptive World Mode when hosting an AP?

Adaptive World Mode should not be used when hosting an AP.  The channel hopping algorithm can cause disconnect issues in some cases.  The best option is to set the regulatory domain in firmware manually, but at the minimum the "adaptive_ww" service should be disabled.  

How do I set up a Wi-Fi Bridge connection?

Laird has added custom packages to Laird Linux.  These can be found in "menuconfig", under the "Ezurio" / "Packages" section.  

To enable a Wi-Fi bridge, select the package "BR2_PACKAGE_LRD_WIFI_BRIDGE" and then set the destination interface. For example, set the destination interface to "Ethernet" if you would like to bridge the Wi-Fi to a wired connection.  


Installing and configuring REPO the easy way!

The repo tool is often available to be installed using a package manager. In the case you're facing challenges with this method, or would like to directly add the repo files to your path, the following commands can be used:

sudo wget https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo -O /usr/local/bin/repo
sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/repo

When you run the "repo init" command for the first time you will be asked to configure your name and email. You can also set these values with the following commands:

git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global color.ui true

IG60 How to set static IP in Laird Linux

Use Network Manager to set an IP address as static in Laird Linux.  In the example below the IP address of ETH0 will be set to 192.168.2.150.

nmcli con add type ethernet con-name "static-ip" ifname eth0 ipv4.method manual ipv4.addresses 192.168.2.150/24
nmcli connection show
nmcli dev status

Does IG60 support Greengrass V2?

Yes, but it requires integrating Canvas Device Manager and EdgeIQ. This currently is only supported for high volume customers. Please contact your local Laird sales representative if need be.

How do I disable the changing of the MAC address after each reboot for the IG60 and 60-SOM DVK running off an SD card with Laird Linux

You need to boot into Linux and after Login log in issue the command

fw_setenv ethaddr <desired MAC address> 

for example:

fw_setenv ethaddr AABBCCDDEEFF

and reboot

You can read out the address previously set with:

fw_printenv ethaddr

Is there an external IO pin on the IG60 Laird Linux I can use for my purposes?

Yes, there is one pin (4) on the power supply connector that can either be configured as an input or output.

The same pin can be connected to the AD converter of the IG60s host processor by software.

Consult Lairds application note "Configuring external I/O pin of the IG60 Laird Linux variant as input or output" to configure pin4 and this tutorial to use the AD converter on the host processor:

https://lairdcp.github.io/guides/60-som-dvk-docs/1.0/ad-converter-tutor…

How do I find out which clients are connected to the soft AP I created using my Laird Wifi module with Linux

Once you have created the soft AP on your Linux system and have successfully connected clients to the soft AP you can issue the command

# iw wlan0 station dump

to get a list of connected clients. Note: the interface name (here: wlan0) might be different in your system.

How do I set up an open hotspot using Network Manager?

You can use the Network Manager command line interface to create an open hotspot using this command:

nmcli con add con-name open_hotspot ifname wlan0 type wifi ssid yourSSID mode ap wifi.band bg wifi.channel 6 ipv4.method shared

What is IP rating

IP stands for Ingress Protection. Its a standard we use to check the sealability of a product once it is installed.

It is composed as IP## , where first digit is for dust/solid objects and the 2nd digit, is for liquids.
Here is the meaning for each numerical code:

First Digit Description
0 No protection
1 Ingress of solid object diameter 50 mm is protected
2 Ingress of solid object diameter 12.5 mm is protected
3 Ingress of solid object diameter 2.5 mm is totally protected
4 Ingress of solid object diameter 1.0 mm is totally protected
5 Protected against harmful dust
6 Totally protected against dust

2nd Digit Description
0 No protection no protection against liquid object No test
1 Protection against water drop vertically
2 Protection against water drop 15° Tilt from its normal position
3 Protection against water spray 60° from the vertical direction
4 Protection from water splash from all direction
5 Protection from water jets from all direction
6 Protection from strong water jets from all direction
7 Protection from water dip 1 m depth water for 30 min
8 Protection from water sink should be decided between customer and manufacturer
