Hello,

We are using Wiced SDK 2.4.0 for SN8200 platform. We are looking for packet broadcasting support in TCP or UDP.

Is Packet broadcasting support available for TCP or UDP in wiced sdk?

If yes, where we can find its API guide and Sample application?

Is there mesh network support available in wiced SDK?

Any help in this case is appreciated.

Waiting for your reply.

Thanks,

Nipam

Hello Gangi,

Thanks for your kind support.

We didn't face SoftAP interface going down issue now. We are now in development phase for our application as described above post.

Thanks,

Nipam

Hello,

Current SDK does not support Mesh networking.  Is there a standard you would be interested in?

We do allow multicast for example packets with an address 255.255.255.255 would be broadcast in UDP.  Since TCP is a point to point link, this concept does not apply.

Let us know if this helps you?

Hello Gangi,

Thanks for your reply.

No, there is no standard we interested for mesh.

I have seen one udp broadcast application in /apps/snip/udp_receive that is sent broadcast packet in 192.168.0.x network. Now I have done some modification as per our application describe below. 

In SN8200 EVK+ kit, SoftAP and STA interfaces are UP and two threads are running for receiving UDP broadcast packet - one for STA interface and another for SoftAP interface. Now I want to broadcast a packet into STA network(192.168.1.x) by PC application and this packet is broadcast by SoftAP (192.168.0.x), which is same packet as received by STA interface of SN8200. SoftAP network broadcast a packet and it received by udp server PC application.

So basically I want to send one packet from one network to another and also want to get response from one network to another network.

Now I face some problems. First, after sometime SoftAP interface is going DOWN. So packet can not be received by SoftAP interface and SN8200 module hangs so I have to reset it. Second, can we achieve this scenario using UDP broadcast method?

Please give your suggestion regarding this scenario.

Thanks,

Nipam
