Wi-Fi Easy Connect (DPP) work on MediaTek Genio 510 EVK for SSID + Key Exchange via NFC?

Hi MediaTek Team and Community,

I am working on a use case that requires establishing secure 1-to-1 Wi-Fi connections using Wi-Fi Easy Connect (DPP – Device Provisioning Protocol).

i am using the MediaTek Genio 510 EVK board as the main controller, and I am already using an external NFC controller (NXP PN7160) connected via the Raspberry Pi I²C interface for NFC-based out-of-band (OOB) communication.

My requirement is to:

  • Exchange SSID and authentication credentials using DPP
  • Use NFC as the DPP bootstrapping / OOB channel
  • Automatically establish a secure 1-to-1 Wi-Fi connection between two Genio 510 boards
    (one acting as Configurator / AP and the other as Enrollee / Station)

On the software side, I am using:

  • Linux-based Yocto image on Genio 510
  • hostapd and wpa_supplicant (v2.10) for Wi-Fi management
  • NXP Linux NFC stack (linux_libnfc-nci) for NFC communication

My questions are:

  1. Does the Genio 510 EVK officially support Wi-Fi Easy Connect (DPP) with NFC-based out-of-band bootstrapping?
  2. Are there any MediaTek-specific patches, drivers, or configurations required in hostapd / wpa_supplicant to enable full DPP functionality?
  3. Are there any known limitations when using external NFC controllers (like PN7160) for DPP on Genio platforms?
  4. Is this approach recommended for production-ready 1-to-1 provisioning, or is another method preferred?

Any guidance or references would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
