[I have try several USB and PCI cards but no one works. I have use EDUP EP-N8531 RT5370|rt2800usb and TP-LINK TL-WN722N v2. There are any further documentation in order to configure those cards? I am using UBUNTU 16.4 and Debian 9.4, but I have always the same problem: the cards don’t work with ap master mode. ]
Thank you for your answer.
I have overtaken the last problem, but I cannot do the same with the next steps:
I have already managed to install the EDUP card and run the AP mode using hostapd. But now when I boot sphynx the driver crashes and disappears from the device list (iwconfig). How should hostapd be configured for this to work?
TP-LINK TL-WN722N v2 is not compatible with sphinx. It comes with a different chipset than v1.10. That’s why v1.10 is recommended.
The model EDUP EP-N8531 should be working. You do not need to configure hostapd by yourself. Sphinx has its own instance and configure it automatically.
When you run sphinx, do you see something wrong/suspicious in the logs provided by systemd (journalctl)?
Thank you very much for your quickly answer!
Yes, I have a lot of messages, but here you have a selection from the ones with error or important information when I start sphinx:

It seems an error occurs at this point. To get a better understanding, could you please modify the file ‘/lib/systemd/system/firmwared.service’ so it looks like as follows:
[Unit]
Description=Parrot products firmware loading daemon
[Service]
Restart=always
RestartSec=0
Environment=ULOG_LEVEL=D
Environment=FIRMWARED_VERBOSE_HOOK_SCRIPTS=y
ExecStart=/bin/firmwared
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
then, restart the firmwared service:
# systemctl daemon-reload
# systemctl restart firmwared.service
And post the output of journalctl while running sphinx.
Hi, inside the data.zip file you have the journalctl, I have put it there because is a big one.

Hi,
I think the problem is your definition of the stolen_interface parameter inside your .drone file.
It should be <stolen_interface>wlxe84e06277173:eth0:192.168.42.1/24</stolen_interface> in your case and I suspect that the “eht0” part is missing from your .drone file.
Anyway, could you please post your .drone file just to be sure? Thanks
Regards
I use both, the file and the command line. The file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sdf_params
low_gpu=“false”
with_front_cam=“true”
with_hd_battery=“false”
with_flir=“false”
flir_pos=“tilted”/>
< pose>default< /pose>
< interface>eth1< /interface>
<wifi_channel>11</wifi_channel>
<stolen_interface>wlxe84e06277173:eth0:192.168.42.1/24</stolen_interface>
#######
And this is the command line:
sphinx /opt/parrot-sphinx/usr/share/sphinx/drones/bebop2.drone::stolen_interface=wlxe84e06277173::with_front_cam=false
Many Thanks!
You don’t need to set the stolen interface parameter from the command line if it’s already present in the drone file. Here, the command line is overriding the .drone file value for the stolen interface parameter with an incorrect value (it is missing the :eth0:192.168.42.1/24 part).
Just remove the stolen_interface parameter from the command line and it should work.
Excuse me, I didn’t make myself clear. I have try both, with and whitout parameters. Now I am calling to:
$ sphinx /opt/parrot-sphinx/usr/share/sphinx/drones/bebop2.drone
And I have in bebop2.drone:
<stolen_interface>wlxe84e06277173:eth0:192.168.42.1/24</stolen_interface>
And the wifi connection is still missing.
Here the new log:
log.zip (5.5 KB)
The only way I manage to reproduce your problem is to change the ‘interface’ parameter in the .drone file you’ve posted to ‘eth0’ :
<sdf_params
low_gpu=“false”
with_front_cam=“true”
with_hd_battery=“false”
with_flir=“false”
flir_pos=“tilted”/>
<pose>default< /pose>
<interface>eth0< /interface>
<wifi_channel>11</wifi_channel>
<stolen_interface>wlxe84e06277173:eth0:192.168.42.1/24</stolen_interface>
In this case, the veth interface and the wifi interface name (‘eth0’) clash and I get the same error.
The interface parameter should be eth1
The stolen_interface parameter should be wlxe84e06277173:eth0:192.168.42.1/24.
Finally the command line should be :
sphinx /opt/parrot-sphinx/usr/share/sphinx/drones/bebop2.drone::with_front_cam=false
Could you please re-check your .drone file ?
Yes! It work fine! Thank you very much!
