Is the module 4343W capable of WiFi direct? #4

Have you looked for an answer? I looked at the PSoC 6 and Murata comunity forums of Cypress.com and also at the MBed OS samples for PSoC 6.

We appreciate you checking the documentation, release notes, or the Cypress community before asking. Please tell us where you looked, so we can fill the gap and help the next person too.

Question/Issue: I wold like to know if the 4343W module is capable of communicate with other piers via WiFi direct. If so, what is the API that I should use to implement it?

What can we help you with? Looking at the examples available, they all implement web or TCP-IP servers and clients connected to an infrastructure, but I haven't found any example where the the device is isolated and a pier or an user have to establish communication with the device. Is the Soft AP the way to go? A simple example to get started would be great.

Context I'm developing an application for PSoC6 using CY8CPROTO-062-434W hosted in Mbed OS 6.2. Eventually the application will run on a custom board containing many of the same peripherals: 1DX chip, SD card, etc. As said before, this device will be operating out in the field out of the reach of Ethernet infrastructure. WiFi direct is the ideal media to communicate with the device, download data and program its functions. Let us know about your environment, any information that may help us answer correctly the first time. Perhaps: the chip or kit, your host OS, what IDE you're using, the compiler, the debug probe, anything that you think might affect the answer. I looked into the PSoc 6 and Murata forums of Cypress.com and also MBedOS samples for PSoC 6.

Where did you expect to find the answer?

Hopefully some of you guys can provide a sample application or point me in the right direction.

THANKS!

Hello

The 43438 has support for p2p/WiFi Direct. The underlying driver, the WHD has support for this, but unfortunately there's no ready to use example as such on MBED OS. I will try to work on some example and provide it here, but can't guarantee a fixed timeline. If this is a blocker/immediate requirement, please contact local sales/marketing.

Thanks

Hi Murali-25, Not an immediate show stopper, but eventually I will need it as the project advances. If you run across samples for other RTOS it can help to understand how to implement that interface.

Hello @Murali-25 Do you have some examples now? Thank you.
