Hi,
  Why Wifi Direct(P2P) is not implemented in SDK 3.1.0 and SDK 3.1.1?
  Is P2P in SDK 2.4.1 reliable?
  Should I go for a P2P in SDK 2.4.1 or a Soft AP implementation from newer SDKs

chip:bcm43362

Thanks,
Sooraj

The Wifi Direct P2P is implemented on SDK 3.1.0 and 3.1.1, its under apps/test/console/ .

SDK 3.1.1 has more api's for p2p, would ask you to go ahead and using 3.1.1 SDK.

Thnx

Yes, But console application is stuck when start_p2p command is given(SDK3.1.1), no WIFI peer device is discovered in android phone.

while running SDK 3.1.1
functions In besl_p2p_init

wwd_sdpcm_send_iovar(SDPCM_SET, buffer, NULL, WICED_STA_INTERFACE); and
wwd_sdpcm_send_iovar(SDPCM_GET, buffer, &response, WICED_STA_INTERFACE);

doesn't return WWD_SUCCESS(0) but a value 2023
but it returns WWD_SUCCESS if SDK 2.4.1 is used

Thanks and Regards,

I'm getting the SDK verified, with these issues. I did reproduce and saw the same issues.

SDK 3.1.1 has more api's for p2p : It had better api's for disconnect notification  and few others, there has been significant changes in the p2p api's.


Thnx

Hi,

I guess you already moved to latest WICED SDK to resolve your issue.
