Wifi

Most of the information regarding Wifi can be found in the Wifi wiki page.
For this kit, the setup should already be preinstalled, and you can skip to Wifi: Wireless Networking
If when attempting to establish a connection in step 6 with:

/etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant start

the command seems to do nothing, attempt to restart the connection with:

/etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant restart

Bluetooth

On the DEV-IOT6U, bluetooth is disabled by default. Enable it by:

gpioset gpiochip0 5=1
hciattach /dev/ttymxc3 -t 30 bcm43xx 115200 noflow

Use hciconfig to check that hci0 device interface is enabled, and use

hciconfig hci0 up

to open and initialize the HCI device. See hciconfig manual for more information on configuring your Bluetooth device.


From there you have multiple different approaches to using the bluetooth device. bluetoothctl, rfcomm, etc.
