Wi-Fi CLI Example

This example project provides a Command Line Interface (CLI) to interact with the Wi-Fi FMAC driver and the LwIP APIs.

Requirements

Hardware Prerequisites

One of the supported platforms listed below is required to run the example:

• EFM32 Giant Gecko GG11 Starter Kit (SLSTK3701A) with WF200 Wi-Fi® Expansion Kit (SLEXP8022A) or WFM200S Wi-Fi® Expansion Kit (SLEXP8023A)
• EFR32MG Zigbee and Thread Starter Kit (SLWSTK6000B) with WF200 Wi-Fi® Expansion Kit (SLEXP8022A) or WFM200S Wi-Fi® Expansion Kit (SLEXP8023A)
• WGM160P Wi-Fi® Module Starter Kit

Additionally, a PC is required to configure the board and it can also be used to load a binary file on the board, to compile the Simplicity Studio project or run a serial terminal.

Software Prerequisites

The required software includes:

• Simplicity Studio v5 and the Gecko SDK Suite (4.0.0 or newer)
• The example project and the Wi-Fi Full MAC driver (available in the Gecko Platform SDK)
• (Optional) A Serial terminal to communicate with the board. For example, Tera Term or Putty

Install Simplicity Studio 5 and the Gecko SDK

Simplicity Studio 5 is a free software suite needed to start developing your application. To install Simplicity Studio 5, please follow this procedure by selecting the options [Install by connecting device(s)] and [Auto].

Set up your Kit and Get the Example

Please follow the instructions related to the platform suiting your case:

• EFM32 Giant Gecko GG11 Starter Kit setup or EFR32MG Zigbee and Thread Starter Kit setup
• WGM160P Wi-Fi® Module Starter Kit setup

Note that at step 6, select Platform - Wi-Fi CLI on Micrium OS kernel instead of Platform - Wi-Fi Commissioning Micrium OS Kernel.
