I have posted this issue on the Broadcom CSP site a while ago but haven't got it resolved. I  want to see if any of you have tried it and how it goes for you.

I tested snip.p2p with Wiced-SDk-2.4.0 with my smart phone(Andriod) and a Nexus Pad, but the application failed  in mid of WPS procedure.

my phone - Android version 4.1.2.

Nexus pad- Android version 4.3

And the console output:

Platform SN8200x initialised

I don't think this feature is final. Below is from the comments section of the app.

* This application snippet demonstrates usage of Wi-Fi Direct.

* Wi-Fi Direct is still under development, the following

* instructions apply to the current implementation and are

* guaranteed to change for the next release!

I also got same issue when WICED runs as an enrollee.

Will it be fixed on SDK 3.0?

@ Dmiya,

I saw in another thread you said you had WICED working as a GO. I always see WICED starts as an enrollee, what did you do to make WICED a GO.

@ Mus,

It fails at WPS which is working on 2.3.1 , which doesn't make sense. Boardcom asked me to provide sniffer captures but hasn't provided any update after I sent the captures. They didn't say the feature not working.

If the intent is higher than smartphone, WICED will be a GO after GON.

There is no API for autonomous GO I think.

Please use new WICED SDK and check whether the issue still persist.

I am closing this thread, you can create new thread if you face the issue in new SDK.
