    What Udoo?
    Do you mean Udoo Neo WiFi SoftAP?
    I think it also works for Udoo Quad/Dual as they have the almost the same Udoobuntu (linux). But it is not in the documentation.

    i wanted to know if the wifi module supports wifi direct ---> a p2p way to connect and share files via wifi - no need of router etc ---> similar like bluetooth sharing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Direct

    From that wiki Page:
    Technical description

    Wi-Fi Direct essentially embeds a software access point ("Soft AP"), into any device that must support Direct. The soft AP provides a version of Wi-Fi Protected Setup with its push-button or PIN-based setup.

    I don't know if udoobuntu soft ap support a direct wifi.

    I confirm that UDOObuntu on UDOO DUAL/QUAD supports Wi-Fi direct Soft AP in the same way that UDOO NEO does, applying the very same procedure. We are just editing the documentation adding this information.

    Hi @sukk741, I have not understood your question: can you reformulate?
