About The Application

This is an early, experimental version of a WiFi-enabled SOI application. It's meant to run on an EM1206-EV boards with a GA1000 module.

Here's how you can start playing with it:

Make sure you install a WiFi antenna on your GA1000.
Once you compile and upload the app onto your EM1206EV+GA1000 EV, you must run DS Manager and initialize the device.
Then go into the device parameters, set the options to your liking and hit OK.
In case you don't use a DHCP server, please take care not to assign the same IP address to both interfaces (wired and wireless) at the same time.

That's it! Once you reboot the EM1206EV with the application loaded, you should be able to use any terminal application (such as I/O Ninja) to establish a TCP connection over with it over the air. Whatever you send via TCP will come out of the EM1206EV's serial side, and vice versa -- whatever goes into the serial port will be transmitted over the air to your instance of I/O Ninja.

Another thing you should know is that when the app is idle, it broadcasts around 40 bytes every minute as a keep-alive. When a data connection is active, the keep-alive signal isn't sent of course.
