This chapter describes platform-dependent information and instructions. For example, you
will get different benchmark results on different platforms.

For general usage of Wi-Fi, such as command to configure DHCP or static IP and so on,
please refer to :doc:`Wi-Fi </sw/yocto/app-dev/Wi-Fi/Wi-Fi-common>` chapter.

.. note::
    Command operations and test results presented in this chapter are based on the IoT Yocto v22.1 and |i350-EVK-REF-BOARD|.

.. note::

    Genio 350-EVK in |IOT-YOCTO| v21.3 supports WPA2 by default.

Install Wireless (Wi-Fi) Card on Genio 350-EVK
==============================================

The MT7663 M.2 card supports WiFi5.

.. important::

    |IOT-YOCTO| - Genio 350-EVK does not support **MT6631** companion chip. It only supports **MT7663** modules.
    Module **AW-CB451NF** is used in this installation guide.
    You can find more configuration details in :ref:`MT7663 Module`.

.. important::

    Prior to the release of IOT Yocto V23.0:
	    IoT Yocto does **NOT** provide official support for Bluetooth functionality on MT7663. Only the Wi-Fi connectivity features are supported.
	
    After the release of IOT Yocto V23.1:
	    The IoT Yocto supports BlueDroid functionality for Bluetooth on the MT7663 module. However, this feature is exclusively available to licensed customers.

.. important::

    The pin assignment of the ``MT7663`` M.2 module ``AW-CB451NF`` is not compatible with the standard M.2 E Key.
    **Consequently, the pin assignment of the Genio 350 EVK is also not compatible with the standard M.2 E Key.**
    Please keep this in mind when you are considering replacing the module or making modifications to your new boards.

There is a M.2 2230 slot on Genio 350-EVK board. It is reserved for wireless card. In the picture below,
you can find 3 cables connect to the antennas on Genio 350-EVK and MT7663 card. These cables use I-PEX MHF4 (IPEX4) connectors.
You should be able to find these 3 cables comes along with the Genio 350-EVK, which just fit the distances between the antennas and wireless card.
(There are 2 black cables for Wi-Fi, and the other gray cable for Bluetooth).

There are other MT7663 modules with 2 antennas instead of 3 antennas. In this case, simply leave the gray cable unconnected.
