Wilink8 Max # of simultaneous clients in AP mode

Hello Gigi,
We've received similar question from Customer Outline and I pointed to your reply here. But they would like to get this confirmed in an official TI document. Is there any document that I can refer to ?
Thanks and regards,
Mizanur

Hi Mizanur,

You can find it in the feature list document available in the below page:

Thanks!

Hi! 

Can You tell if it is a hardware restriction or it is software restriction in current release?

Thank you.

Hi,

This is a device limitation.

Hi!

As I found in code right now:

wl18xx.h:#define WL18XX_MAX_AP_STATIONS 10
But it limited:
BUILD_BUG_ON(WL18XX_MAX_AP_STATIONS > WL18XX_MAX_LINKS);

wl18xx.h:#define WL18XX_MAX_LINKS 16
BUILD_BUG_ON(WL18XX_MAX_LINKS > WLCORE_MAX_LINKS);

/*
* max number of links allowed by all HWs.
* this is NOT the actual max links supported by the current hw.
*/
#define WLCORE_MAX_LINKS 16

Could I enlarge AP_STATIONS number at least up to 16 If my hardware working only in AP mode?

Thank you.

Hi,

No - 10 is the maximum possible.
As I said, this is limited in the firmware.

Gigi Joseph
