1.3.8 Client Interface - Soft AP mode APIs

The PIC32MZW1 device can create a Soft-AP allowing a Wi-Fi station device to connect to the PIC32MZW1. To create a Soft-AP the function WDRV_PIC32MZW_APStart is called.

This function takes several context structures to config aspects of the Soft-AP operation, these contexts are:

  • BSS - Describes the BSS which will be created.

  • Authentication - Describes the security level to be used.

Specification of a BSS context is required. If no authentication context is provided, the Wi-Fi driver will create a Soft-AP with no security.

A callback is also provided to update the application on events. To stop using the Soft-AP the function WDRV_PIC32MZW_APStop is called.
