Hi

The customer would like to make Ethernet to Wi-Fi converter by CYW43907.

In such case, CYW43907 will receive Ethernet frame via MII interface and transfer it as Wi-Fi as follows.

(Not to use L3 layer or higher in this case.)

Host CPU =MII=> CYW43907 =Wi-FI=> AP

In order to do that, we need to control MAC layer by WICED API but I can not find it in the documents.

Q1: Is it possible to configure it by WICED API?

Q2: If yes, could you tell me which API we should use to control MAC?

Q3: Ideally, is there any sample source code for such application?

Thank you.

Hello Takuya,

The possible way to implement the application you mentioned would require higher layers. The MAC layer can not be accessed directly. The device should receive the ethernet packets, create packets for wireless transmission and send it through TCP, UDP etc.
