Hi,

     About wifi_config_dct.h, I found two parameters (CONFIG_AP serials and SOFT_AP serials). But I don't know what is the difference between them, and how to properly use them.

I'm not sure , according to my understanding

In Wiced there's a mode called config mode , where the app starts an AP & user can access a HTTP webserver via an IP , then user can scan and join to any other AP via webpage, so CONFIG_AP_ are used for this purpose,

Where as we can configure the device as a simple AP where other devicess can connect , these uses the configuration from SOFT_AP_

Please cross check my comment with some app in snip/ directory

Hi,

Yes it correct. Virtually they are same but one of them used for config.

Wiced SDK has a config_mode snip application, .../apps/snip/config_mode, which uses the config softap "WICED Config" to configure the device.
