Wi-Fi Easy Connect (DPP) Between Two MediaTek Genio-510 Boards – “Configurator rejected configuration”

Hi MediaTek Community

Problem Statement

I am trying to connect two MediaTek Genio-510 EVK boards using Wi-Fi Easy Connect (DPP).

  • Board A → AP + DPP Configurator (hostapd)

  • Board B → STA + DPP Enrollee (wpa_supplicant)

DPP authentication succeeds, but configuration fails with the error:

DPP-FAIL Configurator rejected configuration
DPP-CONF-FAILED

I would like to understand what is causing the configurator to reject the configuration, even though DPP authentication completes successfully.

Board Configuration Details

:small_blue_diamond: Board A (AP + DPP Configurator)

hostapd version: v2.10
Interface: wlp1s0
Mode: AP
Security: DPP only

/etc/hostapd_nxp3.conf

ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd

interface=wlp1s0
driver=nl80211

ssid=DPP_AP111
hw_mode=g
channel=1
country_code=IN

ieee80211n=1
ieee80211w=2
wmm_enabled=1

auth_algs=1

# ---- DPP CONFIG ----
wpa=2
wpa_key_mgmt=DPP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
dpp_connector=1

Start command:

hostapd /etc/hostapd_nxp3.conf -B

AP verification:

iw dev
# Interface wlp1s0
# type AP
# ssid DPP_AP111
# channel 1 (2412 MHz)

:small_blue_diamond: Board B (STA + DPP Enrollee)

wpa_supplicant version: v2.10
Mode: Managed (STA)

/etc/wpa_supplicant_nxp.conf

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
update_config=1
pmf=2
dpp_config_processing=2

Start command:

wpa_supplicant -i wlp1s0 -D nl80211 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant_nxp.conf -B

DPP Procedure Followed

On Board A (Configurator)

hostapd_cli

Commands executed:

dpp_configurator_add
dpp_bootstrap_gen type=qrcode chan=81/1 mac=a8:41:f4:89:a2:5d
dpp_bootstrap_set 1 conf=sta-dpp ssid=DPP_AP111 configurator=1
dpp_bootstrap_get_uri 1
dpp_listen 2412

Result:

  • DPP Authentication → SUCCESS

  • DPP Configuration Sent → :white_check_mark:

Relevant logs:

DPP-AUTH-SUCCESS init=0
DPP-CONF-REQ-RX
DPP-CONF-SENT

On Board B (Enrollee)

wpa_cli

Commands executed:

DPP_QR_CODE <URI from Board A>
dpp_auth_init peer=1 role=enrollee

Logs observed:

DPP-AUTH-SUCCESS init=1
GAS-QUERY-DONE result=SUCCESS
DPP-FAIL Configurator rejected configuration
DPP-CONF-FAILED

Questions

  1. Why does the configurator reject the configuration even though authentication succeeds?

  2. Is this a driver or firmware limitation on MediaTek Genio-510 for full DPP support?

Any guidance or working reference configuration for Genio-510 DPP AP ↔ STA would be very helpful.
