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.

+#### Adding connectivity driver
+
+If the target does not have internal WiFi driver, or Mbed OS does not supply one, you need to add driver to your application and configure it to provide default WiFi interface.
+
+```
+mbed add <driver>
+```
+
+For example adding ISM43362 driver `mbed add wifi-ism43362` or ESP8266 `mbed add esp8266-driver`
+
+Then pin names need to be configured as instructed in the drivers README file.
+
 #### Connecting the ESP8266 ####
 
 To connect the ESP8266 module to your development board, look at the [ESP8266 Cookbook page](https://developer.mbed.org/users/4180_1/notebook/using-the-esp8266-with-the-mbed-lpc1768/). In general, this means hooking up the ESP8266 TX pin to `D0` and the ESP8266 RX pin to `D1` on your development board.
