Staging:CC3120 Getting Started with WLAN Station

= Overview = The purpose of this sample application is to demonstrate how to configure 'CC3120 SimpleLinkTM Wi-Fi Network Processor' in 'STATION' role and connect it to a Wi-Fi access point. = Application Details =

Application Flow
This sample application: Note-1: This step, however, is not mandatory and applications might choose to skip it. If skipped, application should take care of handling the flow accordingly Note-2: The state-machine depicted below assumes that the device/CC3120 is in its default state
 * configures CC3120 to its default state. All the persistent settings or profiles stored on the nonvolatile memory are lost.
 * initializes the device in 'station' role, and configures it to connect to an access point.
 * verifies the LAN and internet connection by pinging the gateway and external-host respectively.

The figure below shows the various states of the application, and the events that trigger the transition between these states.



Source Files briefly explained
= Usage =
 * main - Refer Application Flow for details
 * appConfig.h - Contains the configurable parameters of the application

Prerequisite
Note: This application is supported on other platforms as well - Check the release notes for the list of supported platforms
 * 1x CC3120BOOST
 * 1x MSP432P401R
 * 1x Access point with internet connectivity
 * 2x Micro-USB cables

General Guidelines
Note: CC3120 will connect to this AP when the application is executed Note: Section:'Build and Execution Process' of 'CC3120 Programmers' Guide' has detailed build instructions
 * Mount CC3120BOOST on a compatible MCU LaunchPad from TI, and connect the board to a Windows-PC - Refer 'CC3120 Getting Started Guide' for detailed instructions
 * Connect a terminal-program running on Windows w/ the target - This is required for seeing the application logs. 'CC3120 Getting Started Guide' has detailed instructions for configuring the terminal-program
 * Open '\examples\common\common.h' and modify the values of 'SSID_NAME', 'SEC_TYPE' and 'PASSKEY' as per the AP's properties.
 * If required, open '\examples\getting_started_with_wlan_station\appConfig.h' and modify the application specific macros. Default test configuration for the application is:
 * Ping interval - 1s
 * Ping timeout - 3s
 * Ping packet size - 20 bytes
 * Total ping attempts - 3
 * Host name - www.ti.com
 * Open the application project @ '\platform\msp432p401r' in CCS/IAR. Build and run the project
 * Check the self explanatory logs on the terminal. On success, below message is displayed
