IV. Work with Raspberry Pi OS

4.1 Installing WiFi 7 driver (BE200)

Note: Once the WiFi 7 driver (BE200) is successfully installed, the original WiFi module on the Raspberry Pi 5 will no longer be usable!

This installation procedure also applies to the AX210 (WiFi 6E) and AX200 (WiFi 6) modules.

4.1.1 Update the system and header files

Execute commands in the Raspberry Pi terminal:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt install -y raspberrypi-kernel-headers firmware-iwlwifi flex yacc

0011_MPW7_01.jpg

4.1.2 Download and extract the source code

Execute commands in the Raspberry Pi terminal:

mkdir wifi && cd wifi

wget http://www.mcuzone.com/wiki/0011_MPW7/backport-iwlwifi-20231029.tar.bz2

sudo tar -xvf backport-iwlwifi-20231029.tar.bz2

0011_MPW7_10.jpg

4.1.3 Compilation Environment

Execute commands in the Raspberry Pi terminal:

sudo make defconfig-iwlwifi-public

sudo sed -i 's/CPTCFG_IWLMVM_VENDOR_CMDS=y/# CPTCFG_IWLMVM_VENDOR_CMDS is not set/' .config

0011_MPW7_03.jpg

4.1.4 Compile source code

Execute commands in the Raspberry Pi terminal:

sudo make install

0011_MPW7_04.jpg

0011_MPW7_05.jpg

At this point, the system will prompt you to restart. Please do not restart yet.

4.1.5 Install firmware (not necessary for AX200 or AX210)

Execute commands in the Raspberry Pi terminal:

cd ..

cd Downloads

wget http://www.mcuzone.com/wiki/0011_MPW7/firmware_wifi7.zip

unzip firmware_wifi7.zip

sudo cp iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0-86.ucode /lib/firmware

sudo cp iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0.pnvm /lib/firmware

0011_MPW7_11.jpg

Then reboot system:

sudo reboot

4.2 Test of WiFi 7 module: BE200

After restarting the system, we execute lspci in the terminal:

0011_MPW7_19.jpg

You can see the WiFi 7 module.

Execute ifconfig -a to view the information of the wireless network card (wlan0):

0011_MPW7_20.jpg

At this point, you can use the BE200 (WiFi 7) module to connect to a wireless AP through the network connections settings:

0011_MPW7_07.jpg

In the network connection information, you can also see the network connection using the iwlwifi driver:

0011_MPW7_08.jpg

Connect to the internet (200M broadband) using the BE200 (WiFi 7) module and perform a speed test, results as follows:

0011_MPW7_46.jpg

Note: Network speed tests are influenced by the network environment and testing methods. The speeds shown are for reference only and may vary based on actual conditions！

Connect to the WiFi 7 router and perform a speed test:

Note: All tests here are conducted using SSH to connect to the development board.

The router used is the Xiaomi BE6500 Pro, a WiFi 7 + quad-port 2.5G router. The Raspberry Pi 5 with WiFi 7 is approximately 1 meter away from the router.

Using the BE200 + Raspberry Pi 5, connect to the WiFi 7 wireless network and perform an iperf3 speed test with a Windows system (2.5G USB network card, IP address: 192.168.8.197) connected to the same router:

Speed test with 30 threads, results as follows

iperf3 -c 192.168.8.197 -P 30

0011_MPW7_47.jpg

Speed test with 30 threads, results as follows

iperf3 -c 192.168.8.197

0011_MPW7_48.jpg

Approximately 500 Mbps.

For comparison, we replaced the WiFi 7 module with a WiFi 6 module (AX210) and performed the same tests.

Speed test with 30 threads, results as follows:

0011_MPW7_51.jpg

Approximately 847 Mbps.

Single-thread speed test, results as follows:

iperf3 -c 192.168.8.197

0011_MPW7_52.jpg

Approximately 456Mbps。

Note: Network speed tests are influenced by the network environment and testing methods. The speeds shown are for reference only and may vary based on actual conditions！

4.3 Bluetooth Testing

Connect the 1.25mm 4-pin USB Bluetooth interface to the USB 2.0 port on the Raspberry Pi 5:

0011_MPW7_53.jpg

On Raspberry Pi OS, the Bluetooth module of the Raspberry Pi 5 is recognized directly. Click on the device icon in the top-right corner of the desktop, then click Add Device...:

0011_MPW7_32.jpg

In the opened window, the Bluetooth module will automatically scan for nearby connectable Bluetooth devices, as shown in the figure:

0011_MPW7_33.jpg

Click on the phone to pair with it. The pairing process on Raspberry Pi OS and the phone is shown in the figures below:

0011_MPW7_34.jpg

0011_MPW7_35.jpg

0011_MPW7_37.jpg

After pairing successfully, click on the 'raspberrypi' device on your phone. Once connected, the Raspberry Pi is recognized as an audio device, as shown in the figure below:

0011_MPW7_36.jpg

In Raspberry Pi OS, you can also see that the connection was successful:

0011_MPW7_38.jpg

V. Work with Ubuntu System

The version of Ubuntu used for testing is as follows:

0011_MPW7_42.jpg

5.1 WiFi7(BE200)

The BE200 (WiFi 7) module is plug-and-play under Ubuntu and does not require additional drivers. After the system starts, execute lspci in the terminal:

0011_MPW7_21.jpg

You can see the WiFi 7 module.

Execute ifconfig -a to view the information of the WiFi 7 wireless network card (wlp1s0f0). wlan1 is the built-in wireless network card of the Raspberry Pi 5:

0011_MPW7_22.jpg

In the 'Wi-Fi' menu in the top-right corner of the screen, there is a 'PCI Wi-Fi' option, which is the WiFi 7 module:0011_MPW7_12.jpg

After connecting to the wireless AP using the 'PCI Wi-Fi', you can see a wireless WiFi named 'Intel' in the 'All Networks' list. This is the WiFi 7 module. Once connected successfully, you can browse the internet using the WiFi 7 module

0011_MPW7_13.jpg

Connect to the internet (200M broadband) using the BE200 (WiFi 7) module and perform a speed test, results as follows:

0011_MPW7_14.jpg

Note: Network speed tests are influenced by the network environment and testing methods. The speeds shown are for reference only and may vary based on actual conditions！

If using the built-in Firefox browser in Ubuntu results in slow performance or frequent unresponsiveness, it is recommended to install the lightweight browser Falkon:

sudo apt install falkon

5.2 WiFi6(AX210/AX200)

The WiFi 6 modules (AX200 and AX210) are also plug-and-play under Ubuntu system and do not require additional drivers. Follow the same steps as above, and the execution results are as follows:

AX200：

0011_MPW7_23.jpg

AX210：

0011_MPW7_24.jpg

5.3 Bluetooth Testing

Under the Ubuntu system, the Bluetooth module of the Raspberry Pi 5 is recognized directly. Click on the device icon in the top-right corner of the desktop, and you will see that Bluetooth is already turned on:

0011_MPW7_25.jpg

Click on the arrow next to Bluetooth, then click Bluetooth Settings to open the Bluetooth settings:

0011_MPW7_26.jpg

The Bluetooth module will automatically scan for nearby connectable Bluetooth devices, as shown in the figure:

0011_MPW7_27.jpg

We can select the desired Bluetooth device to connect. The following is an example of pairing with a phone:

0011_MPW7_28.jpg

0011_MPW7_29.jpg

After the pairing is successful, the device will show "Connected". You can see this device (phone) in the Bluetooth menu in the top-right corner of the desktop:

0011_MPW7_30.jpg

0011_MPW7_31.jpg

Ubuntu system can recognized the phone, and the phone recognizes the Raspberry Pi 5 as a headset:
