The WICED SDK release is structured as follows:
apps : Example & Test Applications
doc : API & Reference Documentation
include : WICED API, constants, and defaults
libraries : Bluetooth, daemons, drivers, file systems, inputs, and protocols
platforms : Evaluation board support package, including Eval Board and Module Schematics
resources : Binary and text based objects including scripts, images, and certificates
tools : Build tools, compilers, debugger, makefiles, programming tools etc.
tools/drivers : Drivers for WICED evaluation boards
WICED : WICED core components (RTOS, Network Stack, Wi-Fi Driver, Security & Platform libraries)
WICED/WWD : The WICED Wi-Fi Driver (equivalent to the Wiced directory in previous SDK-1.x releases)
README.txt : This file
CHANGELOG.txt : A log of changes for each SDK revision
to compile, download and run the Wi-Fi scan application on the Broadcom BCM943362WCD4 evaluation platform,
enter the following text on a command line (a period character is used to reference applications
in sub-directories) :
$> make snip.scan-BCM943362WCD4 download run
The default RTOS and Network Stack components are defined in the WICED configuration makefile
at /tools/makefiles/wiced_config.mk. The default I/O bus component is defined in the platform
makefile at /platforms//.mk. Defaults may be bypassed by specifying the
component as part of the build string if desired as shown in the following example.
$> make snip.scan-BCM943362WCD4-FreeRTOS-LwIP-SDIO download run
Source code, headers and reference information for supported platforms are available
in the /platforms directory. Source code, headers, linker scripts etc that
are common to all platforms are available in the /WICED/platform directory.
