The WICED SDK includes an open source build system and toolchain based on GNU make (native IAR support coming soon!).

When is native IAR support scheduled to be available?

RSSI or Received Signal Strength Indicator is the measurement of the power present in a received radio signal.

Use the wiced_wifi_get_associated_client_list( ) function to get the list of stations connected to the WICED SoftAP. The MAC address of each connected client is stored in a wiced_mac_t type structure.

wiced_mac_t is defined as:

typedef struct  

{

    uint8_t octet[6]; /**< Unique 6-byte MAC address */

} wiced_mac_t;

The mac address can then be passed to the function wiced_wifi_get_ap_client_rssi( ):

int32_t             rssi = 0;

int                   client_number = 0;

wiced_result_t  result;

struct

{

    int    count;

    wiced_mac_t     mac_list[MAX_SOFT_AP_CLIENTS];

} client_info;

/* Get the list of the stations connected to Wiced soft AP */

result = wiced_wifi_get_associated_client_list( &client_info, sizeof(client_info) );

if ( result == WICED_SUCCESS )

{

    for ( client_number=0; client_number < client_info.count; client_number++ )

    {

        /* Get the RSSI of every client currently connected to the soft AP */

        result = wiced_wifi_get_ap_client_rssi(&rssi, &client_info.mac_list[client_number]);

        if ( result == WICED_SUCCESS )

        {

            WPRINT_APP_INFO(("| %d | %02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x | %3lddBm |\r\n",

                                            client_number,

                                            client_info.mac_list[client_number].octet[0],

                                            client_info.mac_list[client_number].octet[1],

                                            client_info.mac_list[client_number].octet[2],

                                            client_info.mac_list[client_number].octet[3],

                                            client_info.mac_list[client_number].octet[4],

                                            client_info.mac_list[client_number].octet[5],

                                            rssi ));           

        }

    }

}

API Details:

Use wiced_wifi_get_associated_client_list() to get the list of stations connected to the WICED soft AP. The MAC address of each connected client is stored in a wiced_mac_t type structure.

wiced_mac_t is defined as:

typedef struct

{

    uint8_t octet[6]; /**< Unique 6-byte MAC address */

} wiced_mac_t;

Here's sample code:

struct

{

    int    count;

    wiced_mac_t mac_list[MAX_SOFT_AP_CLIENTS];

} client_info;

result = wiced_wifi_get_associated_client_list( &client_info, sizeof(client_info) );

The mac address can be derived from client_info.mac_list[client_number].octet[0-5]

I have BCM9WCDPLUS114 board, it have embedded a Bluetooth module.

Im interested in this BT module, can I purchase this module from Broadcom or your distributor? Whats the P/N?

Hi,

Im seeing some issue with memory corruption or halting the system on following scenario

1) Create message queue from application thread (start thread)

2) push message queue from another thread (Say "Thread 2")

3) pop message queue from another thread (Say "Thread 3")

However, if I pop message from my application thread then it works great... message is still pushed by "Thread 2".

Any ideas? is this ThreadX limitation of message queue between thread? I checked the ThreadX spec and i do not see such limitation...
