Wi-Fi shell

Overview

This sample allows testing Wi-Fi drivers for various boards by enabling the Wi-Fi shell module that provides a set of commands: scan, connect, and disconnect. It also enables the net_shell module to verify net_if settings.

Building and Running

Verify the board and chip you are targeting provide Wi-Fi support.

For instance you can use TI’s CC3220 by selecting the cc3220sf_launchxl board.

west build -b cc3220sf_launchxl samples/net/wifi
