SimpleLink™ MSP432 WiFi Plugin SDK 1.30.00.03 Release Notes

Table of Contents

Introduction

This is version 1_30_00_03 of SimpleLink™ MSP432 WiFi Plugin.

SimpleLink™ SDK Plugins are designed to work in tandem to a microprocessor specific SDK. This plugin is designed to work alongside the SimpleLink MSP432 SDK 1.30.00.40 and relies on several core elements within this SDK. Without a prior installation of the SimpleLink MSP432 SDK 1.30.00.40, the SimpleLink MSP432 SDK WiFi Plugin will not work.

The SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® CC3120 device is part of the new SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® family that dramatically simplifies the implementation of Internet connectivity. The CC3120 device integrates all protocols for Wi-Fi and Internet, which greatly minimizes host MCU software requirements. With built-in security protocols, the CC3120 solution provides a robust and simple security experience.

The Wi-Fi network processor subsystem features a Wi-Fi Internet-on-a-Chip and contains an additional dedicated ARM MCU that completely offloads the host MCU. This subsystem includes an 802.11 b/g/n radio, baseband, and MAC with a powerful crypto engine for fast, secure Internet connections with 256-bit encryption. The CC3120 device supports Station, Access Point, and Wi-Fi Direct modes. The device also supports WPA2 personal and enterprise security and WPS 2.0. This subsystem includes embedded TCP/IP and TLS/SSL stacks, HTTP server, and multiple Internet protocols.
