Overview

This is the Wi-Fi Test mode example to demonstrate the test mode support usage.

Before building the example application select Wi-Fi module macro in the app_config.h. (see #define WIFI_BOARD). For more information about Wi-Fi module connection see: readme_modules.txt Getting started guide on supported modules configuration: https://www.nxp.com/document/guide/getting-started-with-nxp-wi-fi-modules-using-i-mx-rt-platform:GS-WIFI-MODULES-IMXRT-PLATFORM

SDK version

• Version: 2.15.000

Toolchain supported

• IAR embedded Workbench 9.40.1
• Keil MDK 5.38.1
• GCC ARM Embedded 12.2
• MCUXpresso 11.8.0

Hardware requirements

• Micro USB cable
• evkbimxrt1050 board
• Personal Computer

Board settings

Prepare the Demo

1. Connect a micro USB cable between the PC host and the CMSIS DAP USB port on the board
2. Open a serial terminal with the following settings:
   • 115200 baud rate
   • 8 data bits
   • No parity
   • One stop bit
   • No flow control
3. Connect the Wi-Fi module.
4. Download the program to the target board.
5. Either press the reset button on your board or launch the debugger in your IDE to begin running the demo.

Running the demo

1. Add CLI init API in applications main function.
2. Add WLAN CLI init API once WLAN Connection Manager gets initialized correctly.
3. When the demo starts, a welcome message would appear on the terminal, press enter for command prompt: Press tab or type help to list out all available CLI commands.
