Do you see your WiFi interface in the output of 'iw list' (you need the iw 
package for that)?

Provided that your kernel configuration and dts enable support for the WiFi 
module on your board, the rest is just standard Linux WiFi configuration. You 
can try the Buildroot network-manager or connman packages to do the configure 
for you for the WiFi station case.

If you want to configure your board as AP you most likely need hostapd.

In any case, Linux WiFi configuration is not in scope for this mailing list.

Hope this helps,
baruch
