CM3: wireless no interface detected
-
Hello,
I recently was trying to connect to rpi cm3 module and found that the wifi is no longer working.
I tried to update wifi country through raspi-config but get "no interface found".
I check that my wpa_supplicant file is set up correctly and it seems to be. File reads;ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev update_config=1 country=US network={ ssid="my ssid" psk="my pass" key_mgmt=WPA_PSK }
Wifi name and pass are correct, other devices can connect.
/etc/network/interface file reads as;
iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet dhcp allow-hotplug wlan0 auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp wpa-ssid "my SSID" wpa-psk "my pass"
I saw that someone requested a dmesg readout to similar issue. I went ahead an ran. dmesg
Any help would be great, thank you!
retroPie version: 4.6.7
Model: CM3
Power: 3.7V 5200mah -
The CM3 doesn't have built-in Wi-Fi, unless the board where it's hosted has a Wi-Fi chip added. The
dmesg
output doesn't show any detected Wi-Fi interfaces, which looks normal for an out-of-the-box CM3 board. -
@mitu ah right, it's plugged into a Kite Circuit-Sword which has a wifi module attached to it.

@ruttlehead In this case, using an OOB RetroPie image might not be enough and additional configuration may be needed to enable the Wi-Fi . You should contact the board's vendor/author(s) and ask how to enable it - RetroPie uses Raspbian Lite, there's nothing special added or removed from a stock Raspbian image.

@mitu thank you for the response, wanted to double check there wasn't anything that could be done retropie side first. I'll reach out to utility board manufacturer.
