INTEGRATION

Introduction

Note

In this section, we introduce how to integrate the wifi driver into the project.

Create a New Component

Warning

Before you create a component in the driver directory, make sure you have incorporated the driver directory into the project by adding the path to the driver directory to the EXTRA_COMPONENT_DIRS variable in the project-level CMakeLists.txt file.

Open the project in VSCode, open the integrated terminal, and type in

get_idf 
to actiate the ESP-IDF environment. Then type in the following command to create a new component named wifi:

idf.py -C driver create-component wifi

The command above means to create a new component named wifi in the driver directory. After executing the command, you will see a new directory named wifi in the driver directory. And the command will automatically generate the CMakeLists.txt file for the new component, as well as the wifi.h and wifi.c files.

Alternatively, you can mannually create the wifi directory in the driver directory, and then create the CMakeLists.txt, wifi.h, and wifi.c files in the wifi directory.

Warning

For this component, we rename the files to wifi_wpa2_enterprise.h and wifi_wpa2_enterprise.c to make the file names more indicative.

Replace the Code

Component Level

Replace the code in this section into the CMakelists.txt, wifi_wpa2_enterprise.h, and wifi_wpa2_enterprise.c files under the component.

Project Level

Replace the code in main.c with the corresponding code. No need to change the CMakeLists.txt file at the project level.

Compile and Flash the Project

Open the project in VSCode, open the integrated terminal, and type in

idf.py build flash monitor

Now, you will see random numbers from the serial monitor.
