Thank you for the tip, Werner. Will try to use the rasp-ap-gui to see if it fixes the issue I am facing.

I am trying to set up a WiFi access point on Hummingboard 2 which has Armbian Bionic.
I am having trouble setting up WiFi AP on the HummingBoard 2. I was able to set this up in a Raspberry Pi using a combination of hostapd and dnsmasq, but having issues on Hummingboard 2 and Armbian. We are operating a sensor using the Board and would like to transfer files using the WiFi generated by the board.
/etc/rc.local has the following:
sleep 5 rfkill unblock wifi /usr/sbin/hostapd /etc/hostapd.conf systemctl restart dnsmasq iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.ipv4.nat
NetworkManager.conf has the following:
[main] dns=default rc-manager=file plugins=ifupdown,keyfile [ifupdown] managed=false [device] wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no
/etc/network/interfaces is set up as:
source /etc/network/interfaces.d/* # Network is managed by Network manager auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto wlan0 allow hot-plug wlan0 auto br0 iface br0 inet manual bridge_ports eth0 wlan0
/etc/hostapd.conf is setup as:
# # armbian hostapd configuration example # # nl80211 mode # interface=wlan0 driver=nl80211 hw_mode=g channel=7 bridge=br0 logger_syslog=0 logger_syslog_level=0 wmm_enabled=0 wpa=2 preamble=1 ssid=ARMBIAN_WiFi wpa_psk=66eb31d2b48d19ba216f2e50c6831ee11be98e2fa3a8075e30b866f4a5ccda27 wpa_passphrase=12345678 wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK wpa_pairwise=TKIP rsn_pairwise=CCMP auth_algs=1 macaddr_acl=0 ### IEEE 802.11n #ieee80211n=1 #ht_capab= #country_code=US #ieee80211d=1 ### IEEE 802.11n ### IEEE 802.11a #hw_mode=a ### IEEE 802.11a ### IEEE 802.11ac #ieee80211ac=1 #vht_capab=[MAX-MPDU-11454][SHORT-GI-80][TX-STBC-2BY1][RX-STBC-1][MAX-A-MPDU-LEN-EXP3] #vht_oper_chwidth=1 #vht_oper_centr_freq_seg0_idx=42 ### IEEE 802.11ac # controlling enabled ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd ctrl_interface_group=0
/etc/dnsmasq.conf is setup as:
port=5353 interface=wlan0 dhcp-range=192.168.1.50,192.168.1.60,12h
/etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf has:
# Configuration file for /sbin/dhclient. # # This is a sample configuration file for dhclient. See dhclient.conf's # man page for more information about the syntax of this file # and a more comprehensive list of the parameters understood by # dhclient. # # Normally, if the DHCP server provides reasonable information and does # not leave anything out (like the domain name, for example), then # few changes must be made to this file, if any. # option rfc3442-classless-static-routes code 121 = array of unsigned integer 8; send host-name = gethostname(); request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers, domain-name, domain-name-servers, domain-search, host-name, dhcp6.name-servers, dhcp6.domain-search, dhcp6.fqdn, dhcp6.sntp-servers, netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope, interface-mtu, rfc3442-classless-static-routes, ntp-servers; alias { interface "eth0"; fixed-address 192.168.1.5; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; } alias { interface "wlan0"; fixed-address 192.168.1.10; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; }
I do see the SSID of the WiFi being generated on other machines, but unable to connect to it.
Here are the two guides I followed to set up AP on Raspberry PI:

Any advice or suggestions to troubleshoot this situation is helpful. Thank you for your time.

To set up a device as an AP - this assumes that WLAN0 is the wireless interface...
$ nmcli dev wifi hotspot ifname wlan0 <SSID> password "<password>"
Thank you for the tips. However when I enter the above I get the error Unknown parameter <SSID>. I passed <SSID> as ARMBIAN_WiFi. Any ideas on why this is the case?

Unfortunately the raspap is not working obo for me. Tried to debug, but couldn't by myself. Here is the guide I followed for raspAP https://www.instructables.com/Raspberry-Pi-As-Completely-Wireless-Router/ .
My original implementation, I was able to create an AP via /usr/sbin/hostapd /etc/hostapd.conf . Now I am getting wlan0 is not configured, even though I see wlan0 and wlan1 via iwconfig command.
Will revert to original implementation and see if I can fix the final step of getting connected to the device via the SSID being generated by the board.
