CC3100 - Get Timestamp of AP (SDK v0.5.2)

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3100

Hey,

I'm using the CC3100 with MSP430 HOST MCU.

When I connect to an AP I would like to get the AP Timestamp to my HOST MCU.

I set RX Filters to receive Beacon packets from the BSSID of the AP.

How can I receive a beacon packet at the HOST MCU in order to get the Timestamp?

Is there any other method to get the AP Timestamp at the HOST MCU?

I can sniff raw packets before connecting to the AP but I'd rather find a way to do so while being connected.

Thanks,

Nir

Hi Nir,

There is no way to read the AP timestamp after connecting to it.

Thanks,
Alon

Hey Alon,

We have another question regarding a similar issue.

We use the CC3100 in STA role and connect to AP using 'sl_WlanConnect'.

We connect to ESS where many of the APs use the same SSID name.

Is there any way for the HOST MCU to read from the CC3100 the MAC address of the AP it's connected to?

It's pretty urgent so we would appreciate your fast response for the question.

Thanks,

Nir

Hi Nir,

On the SL_WLAN_CONNECT_EVENT you can read the BSSID which is the unique MAC for each AP.
i.e (SLS code): memcpy(g_ConnectionBSSID,pWlanEvent->EventData.STAandP2PModeWlanConnected.bssid,SL_BSSID_LENGTH);
