Qualcomm RB5 - Remote ID
- 
					
					
					
					
 Good afternoon, I have been trying to get the remote ID to work on RB5. I followed the steps in the technical document, and everything was working well until I had to check voxl-remote-id status. I end up getting something like this which is in the technical document. My device is already in SoftAP mode. 
 voxl:/$ systemctl status voxl-remote-id

 Is there any solution or feedback to the above problem.

 @doe43john77 It's acting like the softap mode didn't get setup correctly. Are you able to connect to the drone over WiFi? Is there anything in the directory /data/misc/wifi/hostapd?
- 
					
					
					
					
 @Eric-Katzfey Yes, I am able to connect the drone over WiFi. 
- 
					
					
					
					
 @Eric-Katzfey Also isn't hostapd a conf. file 
- 
					
					
					
					
 @doe43john77 Here's what I have: voxl2-mini:/$ cd /data/misc/wifi/ voxl2-mini:/data/misc/wifi$ ls hostapd hostapd.conf wlan_mode wpa_supplicant.conf voxl2-mini:/data/misc/wifi$ ls -l total 80 drwxr-x--- 2 root root 4096 Jun 29 15:56 hostapd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 66860 Jun 29 15:56 hostapd.conf -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 8 Jun 29 16:18 wlan_mode -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 444 Jun 29 16:18 wpa_supplicant.conf voxl2-mini:/data/misc/wifi$ cd hostapd voxl2-mini:/data/misc/wifi/hostapd$ ls wlan0 voxl2-mini:/data/misc/wifi/hostapd$ ls -l total 0 srwxrwx--- 1 root root 0 Jun 29 15:56 wlan0 voxl2-mini:/data/misc/wifi/hostapd$

 @Eric-Katzfey This is what i have when I do what you did above. I add the hostapd into the directory and copied the hostapd.conf into the hostapd directory. 
 rb5:~$ cd /data/misc/wifi/
 rb5:/data/misc/wifi$ ls
 hostapd hostapd.conf wpa_supplicant.conf
 hostapd-wlan1.conf sta_mode_hostapd.conf
