Hotspot mode problem using hostapd in STM32MP157C-DK2.
Hello Guys.
I am using STM32MP157C-DK2 and st-image-core.
Looking at the st-image-weston and wiki Page, I am configuring the hotspot mode to be available in my image.
First, while looking at the wiki page and st-image-weston, I composed a script that uses the following command.
(/usr/sbin/hostapd /etc/hostapd.conf -P /run/hostapd.pid -B)
I created systemd because there is no response from the installed hostapd systemd.
Next, I made systemd execute my script.
However, the hotspot mode did not work.
If I run the script directly from the terminal or crontab, hotspot mode operates normally as shown below.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd.conf
wlan0: Could not connect to kernel driver
Using interface wlan0 with hwaddr 10:98:c3:63:a7:e3 and ssid "HSGT_SsgRk4hU"
random: Only 19/20 bytes of strong random data available
random: Not enough entropy pool available for secure operations
WPA: Not enough entropy in random pool for secure operations - update keys later when the first station connects
wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->ENABLED
wlan0: AP-ENABLED

However, if I run it from systemd, it will not run with the following message.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Could not set channel for kernel driver

Or, it appears as if it succeeded as below, but it is not actually applied in ifconfig.

How can I solve this problem? Can't I run it with the commands listed above?
If there is any other way, please let me know.
In addition, the script I configured is composed as follows.
It is designed to simply search for IP and execute the command if it does not exist.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
status=`/sbin/ifconfig | grep 192.168.72.1 | wc -l`
if [ $status -gt 0 ]
then
echo "current hotspot mode -> skip"
else
echo "no hotspot mode -> hotspot start"
/usr/sbin/hostapd /etc/hostapd.conf -P /run/hostapd.pid -B > /home/root/result.txt
status_again=`/sbin/ifconfig | grep 192.168.72.1 | wc -l`
if [ $status_again -gt 0 ]
then
echo "Hotspot mode start success"
else
echo "Hotspot mode start fail"
