Tool/software:
I am trying to create a peer-to-peer connection with the LP-EM-CC35X1 development board. Does this hardware support Wi-Fi Direct? If not, what alternative P2P Wi-Fi methods are recommended for this platform?
Thanks
Hi Serkan,
Yes, this device supports WI-FI direct.
From the datasheet (page 1):
Hello Serkan,
If you have the latest EA SDK you should have access tot he P2P commands via the network terminal.
You can find some information in the user guide about our P2P implementation. This can be found in <SDK_INSTALL_LOC>/docs/Documentation_overview.html -> SimpleLink
WiFi SDK User’s Guide -> Wi-Fi User’s Guide -> Peer to Peer
but in short you will do:
wlan_start p2p_role_up p2p_find p2p_listen
If you do this you would have set your device to operate in p2p mode. if you do this with multiple devices you should see them auto discovering themselves and connecting as described in the user guide above. If the devices are having trouble finding each other, you can use other commands such as p2p_set_channel and p2p_get_channel to fine tune the connection.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Regards,
AB
