Welcome!

After starting Type1GC in AP mode, if you connect with STA and ping from STA, AP (Type1GC) reboots irregularly.

<Environment>

WICED: WICED-Studio-6.1.0.85-IDE

Type1GC: Type1GC-Eval Rev B

Platform File: WICED-Studio-6.2_Type1GC

OS: ThreadX v5.8

NetX: v5.10_sp3

Sample program: apps/test/console

Make Target: test.console-MurataType1GC-NetX download run

<Survey result>

Data abort exception interrupt problem was found, but the cause is unknown.

I did a debug build according to the document "N1-4941_AppNote_Debugging_Rev 1.0.pdf", but did not reproduce the problem.

We used start_ap softAP1 wpa2 abcd1234 1 to start the softAP and used PC as STA. We were able to ping the softAP multiple times using the PC. The current consumption should not change with network stack since it is implemented in software in host. You can consider changing the USB cable or vary the channel number in the start_ap command to check if there is a channel issue. You can also consider testing with different STAs to rule out if the issue is related to a particular STA.

Can you test with SDK 6.2? I set up softAP with type 1GC in channel 1 and used PC as STA to join the AP. I was able to ping without seeing any reboot.

It restarted also in SDK 6.2.

I installed WICED-Studio 6.2.1 Installer (Windows).

However, under the 43xxx_Wi-Fi directory, it is only the tools directory.

Therefore, I imported the 43xxx_Wi-Fi directory of SDK 6.1.

Then you have installation problem that needs fix first.

I installed it on another PC (Win 7), but only the tools directory was under the 43xxx_ Wi-Fi directory.

The Linux version was installed correctly, but the reboot problem does not improve.

It just my guess ?

Your power supply or USB cable did not provide enough current to your device!

There is a problem when using NetX.

There is no problem when using NetX Duo.

Does NexX consume more current than NetX Duo?

We are unable to reproduce this issue. Can you let us know which device is STA? Is it a WICED device or PC or mobile? If it is a WICED device, which platform was used for testing? Also the softAP is transmitting in which channel?
