mbed-os-examples / Mbed OS mbed-os-example-mbed5-wifi

A quick example of a simple WiFi application using the WiFi and network-socket APIs that is provided as a part of mbed-os.

The program brings up the WiFi and the underlying network interface, and uses it to scans available networks, connects to a network, prints interface and connection details and performs simple HTTP operation.

Supported hardware:

Not that the mbed target board the WiFi shield gets connected to shouldn't have any other network interface e.g. Ethernet.

ESP8266 is a fallback option and will be used if the build is for unsupported platform.

+   For build-in WiFi, you do not need to set any `provide-default` values. Those are required

    Sample ```mbed_app.json``` files are provided for ESP8266 (```mbed_app_esp8266.json```), X-NUCLEO-IDW04A1 (```mbed_app_idw04a1.json```) and X-NUCLEO-IDW01M1 (```mbed_app_idw01m1```).
 
-   For WIFI_ISM43362, ignore the value of `wifi-shield` as it is already overrides per supported targets.
-
-   For built-in Wi-Fi, ignore the value of `wifi-shield`.
 
 1. Compile and generate binary.
