Porting Guide for Wi-Fi Connection Manager version 3.0

This guide details the steps required to migrate from Wi-Fi Connection Manager version 2.x to Wi-Fi Connection Manager version 3.0. Unlike normal releases, Wi-Fi Connection Manager 3.0 breaks compatibility with previous versions, so users might need to change their own code in order to make it work with Wi-Fi Connection Manager 3.0.

Migration steps:

  • Delete wifi-connection-manager.mtb from the deps folder.

  • To use Wi-Fi Connection Manager for freertos/lwip/mbedtls combination, create wifi-core-freertos-lwip-mbedtls.mtb file with the following content.

    mtb://wifi-core-freertos-lwip-mbedtls#latest-v1.X#$$ASSET_REPO$$/wifi-core-freertos-lwip-mbedtls/latest-v1.X

    Note: Wi-Fi connection-manager version 3.0 is network stack agnostic but currently only freertos-lwip-mbedtls combination is supported on Infineon platforms. In future when more RTOS/network-stack/security-stack combinations are supported, appropriate .mtb file needs to be created similar to wifi-core-freertos-lwip-mbedtls.mtb.

API changes

Wi-Fi Connection Manager version 3.0:

Following API syntax has been changed. For more details on API usage please refer to API documentation

Wi-Fi middleware core:

  • Wi-Fi middleware core library used by Wi-Fi Connection Manager 2.X is deprecated. And Wi-Fi Connection Manager 3.0, uses lwIP network interface integration library instead of Wi-Fi middleware core library.
  • Applications using the Wi-Fi middleware core APIs should migrate to use the new lwIP network interface integration APIs. For more details on porting, please refer to the porting guide.
