Hi Jitun,

The CC3351 currently does not support WiFi direct, but is planned to be added later this year.

Are you looking to use CC3351 in a Linux or MCU attached system?

The end system is not yet defined yet, we are still exploring the options of MCU,MPU or a smart module, can you tell me which ICs support wifi direct as of now so that i can start the component selection,

The driver (version 1.0.0.8 via iw phy) reports that P2P is supported, and the supplicant then starts a p2p-dev device.

# iw phy

...

Supported interface modes:
* managed
* AP
* AP/VLAN
* monitor
* P2P-client
* P2P-GO
* P2P-device

valid interface combinations:
* #{ managed, P2P-client } <= 2, #{ AP, P2P-GO } <= 1, #{ P2P-device } <= 1,
total <= 3, #channels <= 2

# iw dev
phy#0
Unnamed/non-netdev interface
wdev 0x2
addr a6:34:f1:b3:23:d4
type P2P-device
Interface wlan0
ifindex 5
wdev 0x1
addr a4:34:f1:b3:23:d4
type managed

Is this not valid?

Hi Jitun,

You can find support for WiFi Direct/P2P in our WL18xxMOD series of devices within linux context:

https://www.ti.com/product/WL1837MOD

But again, it is planned to be supported on the newer CC33xx series.

Hi Dean,

This is correct. The feature exists in the linux driver, but it is not yet implemented in the firmware. Your mileage may vary.
