Crate cyw43

cyw43

Rust driver for the CYW43439 wifi chip, used in the Raspberry Pi Pico W. Implementation based on Infineon/wifi-host-driver.

Current status

Working:

• Station mode (joining an AP).
• AP mode (creating an AP)
• Scanning
• Sending and receiving Ethernet frames.
• Using the default MAC address.
• embassy-net integration.
• RP2040 PIO driver for the nonstandard half-duplex SPI used in the Pico W.
• Using IRQ for device events
• GPIO support (for LED on the Pico W)

TODO:

• Setting a custom MAC address.
• Bus sleep (for power consumption optimization)

Running the examples

• Install probe-rs following the instructions at https://probe.rs.
• cd examples/rp

Example 1: Scan the wifi stations

• cargo run --release --bin wifi_scan

Example 2: Create an access point (IP and credentials in the code)

• cargo run --release --bin wifi_ap_tcp_server

Example 3: Connect to an existing network and create a server

• cargo run --release --bin wifi_tcp_server

After a few seconds, you should see that DHCP picks up an IP address like this

11.944489 DEBUG Acquired IP configuration:
11.944517 DEBUG    IP address:      192.168.0.250/24
11.944620 DEBUG    Default gateway: 192.168.0.33
11.944722 DEBUG    DNS server 0:    192.168.0.33

This example implements a TCP echo server on port 1234. You can try connecting to it with:

nc 192.168.0.250 1234

Send it some data, you should see it echoed back and printed in the firmware’s logs.
