cc3220: Max throughput with Wifi and SPI

Part Number: cc3220

Hi SimpleLink Wifi team,

For the CC3220: Which software example should a customer start with for maximum data throughput from Wifi to transfer data to another host processor?  I assume the fastest port is the SPI port in this case.

We state 16 Mbit/s for UDP and 13 Mbit/s for TCP in the datasheet, but I don't see an example in the SDK that behaves like we need. Maybe the software used for this benchmark is available.

Thanks,

Darren

  • Hi Darren,

    You should be able to use the network terminal example to test the throughput:

    send [-help] [-c <server ip address>] [-u] [-p <port number>] [-nb] [-n <number of packets>]
    send [-help] [-s] [-u] [-p <port number>] [-V] [-nb] [-n <number of packets>]

    -c Run in client mode and connect to mentioned server - IP should be in '.' format for ipv4 and in ':' for ipv6
    -s Run in server mode - (Note that for client, a server ip address is required.)
    -u Use UDP rather than TCP
    -p Port number to send/receive data (Default is 5001)
    -nb Create non-blocking socket rather than blocking
    -n Number of packets to transmit (Default is 1000)
    -V Use IPv6 rather than IPv4

    Otherwise, a basic application which only sends UDP packets in a loop is straightforward
