SimpleLink SDK WiFi Plugin Release Notes
Table of Contents
Introduction
The SimpleLink™ SDK WiFi Plugin is a companion software package that enables the use of a WiFi radio on any standard MSP432 platform including the MSP432P401, MSP432P4111, and MSP432E401 families. By having the ability to seamlessly and modularly add WiFi functionality to an embedded system, a programmer can enable their embedded device to become a gateway to various IOT infrastructures.
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.
This is version 1_60_00_07 of the SimpleLink SDK WiFi Plugin.
