It's possible to setup Connman based networking without a full-blown GUI tool.

All required tools are in connman-test package, so be sure to include it in your image.


Basic usage

First enable WiFi:

 /usr/lib/connman/test/test-connman enable wifi

Wait a moment for scan to settle and list available networks:

 /usr/lib/connman/test/test-connman services

Connecting with plain names should work if you do not have unusual characters in the network SSID. If you do, you need to use service identifier like wifi_...


Connecting using Passphrase agent

On one console (Ctrl-Alt-Fn) or xterm launch simple agent:

 /usr/lib/connman/test/simple-agent

and leave it there for now.

On second console/xterm trigger the connection process:

 /usr/lib/connman/test/test-connman connect wifi_...

Next switch back to simple-agent console/xterm and type Passphrase=yourpassword at the Answer: prompt, like:

 Service credentials requested, type cancel to cancel
 Answer: Passphrase=yourpassword

In a moment you should have the WiFi network up.
