CC3100 Mode Config Application

Overview and application details

This sample application demonstrates how to configure CC3100 device in STATION or Access Point mode. This application uses host-driver APIs to configure the device in either of these two modes and shouldn't be confused w/ Force AP Mode which is used to force CC3100 to wake-up in AP mode and run with pre-defined configurations.

Note: This wiki page is only applicable for CC3100-SDK v1.0.0 and upward releases. For documentation on older SDKs' examples, refer corresponding file in <cc3100-sdk-installation-location>\cc3100-sdk\docs\examples\

Source Files briefly explained

i. main - Configure the station/AP mode, initialize the device and in station mode connects to AP.

Usage

Prerequisite: This application requires an access-point with internet connectivity

• Connect the board to a Windows-PC and configure the terminal-program for seeing the logs - [| CC31xx_&_CC32xx_Terminal_Setting_Wiki] has detailed instructions for configuring the terminal-program
• Define __CONFIGURE_AP__ for configuring CC3100 in AP mode. If this macro is undefined, CC3100 will be configured in STA mode
• Edit sl_common.h and set values for below macros:

     1. In STA mode, edit following parameters to establish connection w/ an AP.

   #define SSID_NAME       "<ap-name>"
   #define SEC_TYPE        SL_SEC_TYPE_OPEN
   #define PASSKEY         ""

     2. In AP mode, CC3100 will come-up in AP mode w/ below credentials.

   #define SSID_AP_MODE       "cc3100_ap"
   #define PASSWORD_AP_MODE   ""
   #define SEC_TYPE_AP_MODE   SL_SEC_TYPE_OPEN

• Build and launch the application
• See the self explanatory logs on the terminal-program's console. On success, below message will be displayed on the terminal

Note: : User needs to reconfigure the device in 'Station-Mode' for executing other sample applications. Refer function configureSimpleLinkToDefaultState in this example's main.c for configuring the device in 'Station-Mode'.
