Detailed Description

WiFi driver interface.

============================================================================

The WiFi header file should be included in an application as follows:

Operation

The TI-RTOS WiFi driver implements many of the crucial elements necessary to communicate with a TI Wi-Fi device. It uses the TI-RTOS SPI module and implements a state machine to send and receive commands, data, and events to and from a Wi-Fi device.

The APIs in this driver give the user the ability to open a WiFi driver instance that will communicate with the Wi-Fi device's host driver without further direct calls to the driver from the application.

Opening the driver

WiFi_Handle      handle;
WiFi_Params      params;
WiFi_Params_init(&params);
params.bitRate  = bitRateValue;
handle = WiFi_open(WiFi_configIndex, SPI_configIndex, callbackPtr,
                   &params);
if (!handle) {
    System_printf("WiFi did not open");
}
// Wi-Fi device's host driver APIs (such as socket()) may now be used

Configuration

SimpleLink CC3100 device

The SimpleLink Host Driver for CC3100 the device requires a mechanism to allow functions to execute in a temporary context. A SpawnTask is dynamically created to meet satisfy this requirement. The priority for the SpawnTask can be changed via the graphical editor, or by editing the script as a text file, with the following line of code:

WiFi.spawnTaskPriority = 3;

The default will create the SpawnTask with the priority set to 3.

Implementation

The WiFi driver interface module is joined (at link time) to a NULL-terminated array of WiFi_Config data structures named WiFi_config. WiFi_config is implemented in the application with each entry being an instance of a WiFi driver. Each entry in WiFi_config contains a:

(WiFi_FxnTable *) to a set of functions that implement a WiFi driver
(void *) data object that is associated with the WiFi_FxnTable
(void *) hardware attributes that are associated to the WiFi_FxnTable

The WiFi driver currently only supports one instance of the module. This means that the WiFi_config structure may only contain one non-NULL entry, and it must be located at index 0.

Instrumentation

The WiFi driver interface produces log statements if instrumentation is enabled.

Typedef Documentation

typedef void(* WiFi_evntCallback) (long eventType, char *data, unsigned char length)

A typedef to a an unsolicited event callback function.

This is the definition describing the function that is to be called when the Wi-Fi device has informed the host MCU that an event has occurred. For more details, see Doxygen documentation for the specific driver\ implementation in use.

Parameters

eventType	Type of event
data	Pointer to extra data that some events may supply
length	Length of data

typedef struct WiFi_Config* WiFi_Handle

A handle that is returned from a WiFi_open() call.

typedef struct WiFi_Params WiFi_Params

WiFi Parameters.

WiFi parameters are used to with the WiFi_open() call. Default values for these parameters are set using WiFi_Params_init().

See also: WiFi_Params_init()

typedef void(* WiFi_InitFxn) (WiFi_Handle handle)

A function pointer to a driver specific implementation of WiFi_init().

typedef WiFi_Handle(* WiFi_OpenFxn) (WiFi_Handle handle, unsigned int spiIndex, WiFi_evntCallback evntCallback, WiFi_Params *params)

A function pointer to a driver specific implementation of WiFi_open().

typedef void(* WiFi_CloseFxn) (WiFi_Handle handle)

A function pointer to a driver specific implementation of WiFi_close().

typedef int(* WiFi_ControlFxn) (WiFi_Handle handle, unsigned int cmd, void *arg)

A function pointer to a driver specific implementation of WiFi_control().

typedef struct WiFi_FxnTable WiFi_FxnTable

The definition of a WiFi function table that contains the required set of functions to control a specific WiFi driver implementation.

typedef struct WiFi_Config WiFi_Config

WiFi Global configuration.

The WiFi_Config structure contains a set of pointers used to characterize the WiFi driver implementation.

This structure needs to be defined before calling WiFi_init() and it must not be changed thereafter.

Function Documentation

void WiFi_close ( WiFi_Handle handle )

Function to close a WiFi peripheral specified by the WiFi handle.

Precondition: WiFi_open() has to be called first.

Parameters

handle A WiFi_Handle returned from WiFi_open

See also: WiFi_open()

int WiFi_control	(	WiFi_Handle	handle,
		unsigned int	cmd,
		void *	arg
	)

Function performs implementation specific features on a given WiFi_Handle.

Commands for WiFi_control can originate from WiFi.h or from implementation specific WiFi*.h (WiFiCC26XX.h, WiFiTiva.h, etc.. ) files. While commands from WiFi.h are API portable across driver implementations, not all implementations may support all these commands. Conversely, commands from driver implementation specific WiFi*.h files add unique driver capabilities but are not API portable across all WiFi driver implementations.

Commands supported by WiFi.h follow a WiFi_CMD_<cmd> naming convention.
Commands supported by WiFi*.h follow a WiFi*_CMD_<cmd> naming convention.
Each control command defines arg differently. The types of arg are documented with each command.

See WiFi_control command codes for command codes.

See WiFi_control return status codes for status codes.

Precondition: WiFi_open() has to be called first.

Parameters

handle	A WiFi handle returned from WiFi_open()
cmd	WiFi.h or WiFi*.h commands.
arg	An optional R/W (read/write) command argument accompanied with cmd

Returns: Implementation specific return codes. Negative values indicate unsuccessful operations.

See also: WiFi_open()

void WiFi_init ( void )

Function to initialize the WiFi module.

Precondition: The WiFi_config structure must exist and be persistent before this function can be called. This function must also be called before any other WiFi driver APIs. This function call does not modify any peripheral registers.

WiFi_Handle WiFi_open	(	unsigned int	wifiIndex,
		unsigned int	spiIndex,
		WiFi_evntCallback	evntCallback,
		WiFi_Params *	params
	)

Function to initialize a given WiFi peripheral.

Function to initialize a given WiFi peripheral specified by the particular index value. It initializes the specified SPI peripheral and registers the callbacks that the Wi-Fi device's host driver requires. WiFi_open() may only be called in the context of a Task.

Precondition: WiFi_init() has been called

Parameters

wifiIndex	Logical peripheral number for the WiFi indexed into the WiFi_config table
spiIndex	Logical peripheral number for SPI to be used with the WiFi indexed into the SPI_config table
evntCallback	Pointer to callback function to handle unsolicited events from the WiFi device. For details, see WiFi_evntCallback and the Doxygen documentation for the specific driver implementation in use.
params	Pointer to an parameter block, if NULL it will use default values. All the fields in this structure are RO (read-only).

Returns: A WiFi_Handle on success or a NULL on an error or if it has been opened already.

See also: WiFi_init(); WiFi_close()

void WiFi_Params_init ( WiFi_Params * params )

Function to initialize the WiFi_Params structure to its defaults.

Parameters

params An pointer to WiFi_Params structure for initialization

Default values are: bitRate = 1000000;
