Hi, we're using Wiink8 in AP mode, Checking the WL1837 feature list I see WPS supported. Since we do not have a WPS button on the MTG side, I hope I can trigger the WPS activity using some Linux/Driver API. Can you help me in getting some documentation on this

Hey Brad,

I am still digging around, but I don't think we have much documentation for this specific use case. However, I believe WPS could be configured through the wpa_supplicant. I google'd around for some answers on how to use WPS using wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli and found this link: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/310752/how-do-i-configure-wpa-supplicant-conf-for-wps-push-button

That should help you get going. The best guides we have so far are in the advanced demo guide. Look through here a little but I don't think it is directly suitable for your application: https://www.ti.com/lit/ug/swru576/swru576.pdf
