PClient Reference Design

In pico mode, the SPB800 device is controlled by a host through a serial connection. The host is typically an embedded platform where Wi-Fi and network functionality should be added through the SPB800 and the oWL Pico API.

Included in the release is a reference design application which uses the oWL Pico API. The reference design provides the following functions:

• an interactive shell where the various functions of oWL Pico API can be invoked, this function is described in Commands
• a simple HTTP server implementation built on top of the oWL Pico API, this function is described in HTTPServer
• a NTP client implementation built on top of the oWL Pico API, this function is described in NTPClient
• a ICMP ping implementation built on top of the oWL Pico API, this function is described in PingCommand
• a TTCP client and server implementation built on top of the oWL Pico API, this function is described in TTCPClientServer

The reference design can be compiled for various platforms, see Platforms. Both source and binaries are provided, see DownloadSources for sources and Platforms for binaries.

Note that in release 1.3.0 and later, the additional example application webconfig is included. This application demonstrates how to use the access point mode to make is easy to configure a device with both wifi- and application-specific parameters. This is particularly useful on products that does not have suitable user interface.
