Wi-Fi Connection Manager (WCM)

What's included?

See the README.md for a complete description of the Wi-Fi Connection Manager.

Known issues

Problem	Workaround
The cy_wcm_deinit API does not bring down the network stack because the default underlying lwIP stack does not have an implementation for deinit. Therefore, the expectation is that cy_wcm_init and cy_wcm_deinit APIs should be invoked only once.	No workaround. Support will be added in a future release.
The cy_wcm_connect_ap API does not connect to AP if the MAC address is specified as a connection parameter.	No workaround. This issue will be fixed in future release.
IAR 9.40.2 toolchain throws build errors on Debug mode if the application explicitly includes the iar_dlmalloc.h file	Add '--advanced_heap' to LDFLAGS in the application Makefile.
