Getting Started

---------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are unfamiliar with the WICED SDK, please refer to the

WICED Quickstart Guide located here: <WICED-SDK>/doc/WICED-QSG2xx-R.pdf

The WICED Quickstart Guide documents the process to setup a computer for

use with the WICED SDK, IDE and WICED Evaluation Board.

The WICED SDK includes lots of sample applications in the <WICED-SDK>/Apps directory.

Applications included with the SDK are outlined below.

apps/demo : Demonstration Applications

   - Applications demonstrating how to integrate various WICED API features

apps/snip : Application Snippets

   - Various applications to demonstrate usage of individual WICED APIs    

apps/test : Test & Utility Applications

   - console      : Provides various test features including Iperf for throughput testing

   - mfg_test     : Manufacturing Test application to enable radio performance and certification testing

apps/waf  : WICED Application Framework

   - bootloader   : Bootloader application used in conjunction with the WICED Application Framework

   - sflash_write : Serial flash application used to write data into external serial flash

apps/wwd : Wiced Wi-Fi Driver Applications to demonstrate advanced usage of the low layer Wi-Fi driver

To obtain a complete list of build commands and options, enter the following text in the

base WICED SDK directory on a command line:

$> make

To compile, download and run the Wi-Fi scan application on the Broadcom BCM943362WCD4 evaluation platform,

enter the following text on a command line (a period character is used to reference applications

in sub-directories) :

$> make snip.scan-BCM943362WCD4 download run


The default RTOS and Network Stack components are defined in the WICED configuration makefile

at <WICED-SDK>/tools/makefiles/wiced_config.mk. The default I/O bus component is defined in the platform

makefile at <WICED-SDK>/platforms/<Platform>/<Platform>.mk. Defaults may be bypassed by specifying the

component as part of the build string if desired as shown in the following example.

$> make snip.scan-BCM943362WCD4-FreeRTOS-LwIP-SDIO download run

   

Source code, headers and reference information for supported platforms are available

in the <WICED-SDK>/platforms directory. Source code, headers, linker scripts etc that

are common to all platforms are available in the <WICED-SDK>/WICED/platform directory.

Known Limitations & Notes

---------------------------------------------------------------------

* Description - WICED_Audio: DUT resets if incoming call received/outgoing call initiated during Airplay streaming.

   Workaround  - No work around

   Resolution  - Targeting to be fixed in the next SDK release

* Description - WICED_Audio: Play/Pause/FWD/BCKWD does not work with Mac Book Air and BTW.

   Workaround  - No work around

   Resolution  - Targeting to be fixed in the next SDK release

* Description - snip.email: Email is not being send shows error

   Workaround  - No work around

   Resolution  - Targeting to be fixed in the next SDK release

* Description - snip.https_server: Showing error in console while opening the webpage

   Resolution  - Targeting to be fixed in the next SDK release

* Description - snip.ping_webserver" is not working properly in debug mode, giving exceptional error also for snip.https client and demo.appliance apps

   Workaround  - No work around

   Resolution  - Targeting to be fixed in the next SDK release

* Description - demo.temp_control: App stuck at the initial phase of booting up

   Workaround  - No work around

   Resolution  - Targeting to be fixed in the next SDK release

* Description - snip.thread_monitor not working properly in both release mode and debug mode

   Workaround  - No work around

   Resolution  - Targeting to be fixed in the next SDK release

* Description - Switching from Airplay to Bluetooth may result in silence if Bluetooth connection is established after the Airplay streaming has commenced.

   Workaround  - Switching back a second time should resolve the issue.

   Resolution  - Targeting to be fixed in the next SDK release

* Description - Switching between Bluetooth music and Handsfree voice may fail after a few iterations

   Workaround  - None

   Resolution  - Targeting to be fixed in the next SDK release

* Features not yet supported in WICED-SDK-3.5.2

   - IAR Embedded Workspace native support

   - WAC procedure is not supported for AP mode with WEP security

   * Platform Restrictions:

       BCM943341WCD1

         - Wi-Fi Direct not support

         - SPI bus not supported

       BCM4390WCD2

         - Wi-Fi Direct not supported

         - WPS may timeout with some access points

 

   * Wi-Fi Powersave (1)

       The WLAN chip requires an external 32kHz sleep clock input during powersave.

       Platforms that do not support Wi-Fi powersave (per the table above) are

       not capable of driving the WLAN sleep clock. An external 32kHz clock is

       required for these platforms.

* libc does not include support for printing uint64_t (long long)

* RTOS detection may cause OpenOCD to crash in the following situation:

     GDB has an elf containing a known RTOS loaded, and your app is using the

     RTOS memory for other purposes. This situation may occur while debugging

     the bootloader

     SOLUTION : Remove " -rtos auto " from the <WICED-SDK>/Tools/OpenCD/OpenOCD

                .cfg file that matches your hardware debugger

                (ie. BCM9WCD1EVAL1.cfg for WICED Evaluation Boards)

* For the 43362, AP mode when running with Wi-Fi Direct is limited to 2 STA clients

* P2P feature

     If the board's MAC address is locally administered then it needs to be modified

     to become a global address or P2P will not initialize.

     First build the application using the SDK, then find the

     generated_mac_address.txt file and modify the MAC address.

     Ex: Change text "macaddr=02:0A:F7:9c:76:f2" to "macaddr=00:0A:F7:9c:76:f2"

Tools

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The GNU ARM toolchain is from Yagarto, http://yagarto.de

Programming and debugging is enabled by OpenOCD, http://openocd.berlios.de

The standard WICED Evaluation board (BCM9WCD1EVAL1) provides two physical

programming/debug interfaces for the STM32 host microprocessor: USB-JTAG and direct

JTAG. The WICED Evaluation board driver additionally provides a single USB-serial

port for debug printing or UART console purposes.

The USB-JTAG interface is enabled by the libftdi/libusb open source driver,

http://intra2net.com/en/developer/libftdi.

The direct JTAG interface works with third party JTAG programmers including

Segger, IAR J-Link and Olimex ARM-USB-TINY series. OpenOCD works with the libftdi/libusb

USB-JTAG driver shipped with the WICED SDK and commercially available JTAG drivers

available from third party vendors.

Building, programming and debugging of applications is achieved using either a

command line interface or the WICED IDE as described in the Quickstart Guide.

Instructions to use the IAR toolchain are provided in a README located in the

following directory: <WICED-SDK>/Tools/IAR
