Context:

I'm trying to develop a project where I use a nRF52840 devkit and an ATWINC1500 WiFi module to give it WiFi connectivity. I want to use the WiFiNINA library for the interface, however I'm using Segger Embedded Studio for development and most of the examples I can find here about the board uses Adafruit libraries/Arduino IDE.
Could I get a pointer in the right direction as to where to go with it?

Try to setup a web socket server with wifinina.

When I try the example Generic_WebSocketServer_WiFiNINA.ino the
websocket connection is always closed. I try to connect with different clients.
As far I can see the MKR WiFi 1010 should be supported since version 2.1.3.

I try to open only one connection.
It looks for me that the counting of the clients is not correct. See the log.

Wifi-version:
WiFiNINA firmware check.
Firmware version installed: 1.3.0
Latest firmware version available : 1.3.0
Check result: PASSED

websockets generic version: 2.2.2

Hello, thank you for work with library.
I try to connect to wifi by using Airlift ESP32 which controls by STM32F446RE. I done requirements in changing pinout, but whatever I done I always receive this in serial port.

15:26:34.947 -> Start ScanNetworks on NUCLEO_F446RE
15:26:34.947 -> Version 1.7.2
15:26:35.701 -> Communication with WiFi module failed!

I am not sure what do wrong.
P.S. I try not my code but example.

NOTE: "insert code" does not work in this editor, I used it but to no avail...

Describe the bug

When using NOT using delay() I get the "ServerDrv::availData: SpiDrv not available" error

Steps to Reproduce

NOT use delay() after an NTP Udp request...

Expected behavior

no error?

Actual behavior

"ServerDrv::availData: SpiDrv not available" error

Hi, I'm getting the following error when trying to run any of the examples:

Start WiFiNINA CheckFirmwareVersion on SAMD SEEED_WIO_TERMINAL
WiFiNINA_Generic v1.8.13
Communication with WiFi module failed!

I have flashed the latest firmware for the RTL8720 chip (2.1.3) could that be the problem?

Thanks for your work on this library (and others!).

Background

Per this library's README:

This library is based on and modified from Arduino WiFiNINA library

Problem

The WiFiNINA library for Arduino is released under the GNU LGPL v2.1 or later, but this WiFiNINA_Generic library says it is released under the more permissive MIT license. As I understand it, this is not allowed for a derivative work, unless you've gotten permission from the copyright holder(s) of the original work.

Solutions

I believe the easiest compliant solution would be to release WiFiNINA_Generic under LGPL v2.1 (and/or a later version). Alternatively, I think you'd need to get permission from the original work's copyright holder(s) to release it under a more permissive license (MIT, or whatever else you all agree to).

There is what looks like a rogue #define in the source that enables serial debugging. I just added a call to UDP.parsePacket() and it spews debugging diagnostics constantly. Not ideal.

Would you like me to submit a PR? (assuming I can figure out how to build the code).

Describe the bug

server_drv.cpp contains debug macros which cause undesired serial prints

#define _DEBUG_

#define KH_WIFININA_SERVER_DRV_DEBUG   1

And usage:

uint16_t ServerDrv::availData(uint8_t sock)
{
  if  (!SpiDrv::available()) 
  {
    // KH
#if (KH_WIFININA_SERVER_DRV_DEBUG > 0)
    Serial.println("ServerDrv::availData: SpiDrv not available");
#endif    
    return 0;
  }
 
  // KH
#if (KH_WIFININA_SERVER_DRV_DEBUG > 2)    
  Serial.println("ServerDrv::availData: SpiDrv OK");
#endif  

  WAIT_FOR_SLAVE_SELECT();
  // Send Command
  SpiDrv::sendCmd(AVAIL_DATA_TCP_CMD, PARAM_NUMS_1);
  SpiDrv::sendParam(&sock, sizeof(sock), LAST_PARAM);

  // pad to multiple of 4
  SpiDrv::readChar();
  SpiDrv::readChar();

  SpiDrv::spiSlaveDeselect();
  //Wait the reply elaboration
  SpiDrv::waitForSlaveReady();
  SpiDrv::spiSlaveSelect();

  // Wait for reply
  uint8_t _dataLen = 0;
  uint16_t len = 0;

  SpiDrv::waitResponseCmd(AVAIL_DATA_TCP_CMD, PARAM_NUMS_1, (uint8_t*)&len,  &_dataLen);

  SpiDrv::spiSlaveDeselect();
  
  // KH
#if (KH_WIFININA_SERVER_DRV_DEBUG > 2)
  Serial.print("ServerDrv::availData: len =");
  Serial.println(len);
#endif

  return len;
}

Greetings!

Can it be used with nrf52840dk?

Thank you in advance!

Hello, just to let you know I opened an issue on the original wifinina project regarding the file.write() error that writes bad data in the ESP32 flash:
Please have a look here:

arduino-libraries/WiFiNINA#125

Thanks :)

@khoih-prog

Hi

Is it possible to port to NRF52 chips ? I can test here!

Are the routines HIGH level ? (hardware gpios access)

Thanks!

Hello,
Your library is great, but the storage part does not work, The original WiFinina does.
It looks something related to the WiFi_Drv class.

Maybe you could have a look into that.

Get a linker issue here on some platforms. Should just be a simple {} addition.

Hi,
I'm currently trying to make the Adafruit ItsyBitsy Esp32 co-processor add-on work with the arduino Nano 33 BLE.

I tried using the Adafruit WifiNINA and the WifiNINA_generic libraries. At first the examples weren't compiling, however, by adding the "arduino::" prefix to each call of the IPAddress, UDP and Print classes in the WifiUdp.h file, I managed to make it compile.
This being done, I thought it would work but no, I get the message "Communication with WiFi module failed!". I checked my wiring a hundred times, nothing changes.
I tried making it work with the MKR 1310 board (SAMD21 processor) and I succeded.

I guess that what's causing trouble is the fact that the Nano 33 BLE is based on MBED OS and is not fully supporting every arduino features. However, I was wondering if someone had any infos on how to make it work.

Thanks in advance,
Colas LEPOUTRE

Hi,

I have an issue with communicating with my "Adafruit atwinc1500 breakout board".
Its connected to a Blue Pill (STM32F103C8T6), using Arduino IDE 1.8.3 and Arduino Core 1.9.0
Pins:
MISO,MOSI,SCK (PA7,PA6,PA5)
PA4 - CS
PA3 - IRQ
PA2 - Reset
But I cannot communicate with the board.
I´m a little puzzled with the pinout found in the "Wifinina_pinout_generic.h" file.

Any help is very appreciated!

UPDATE, I can load the official WiFi101 library and I´m able to print out the firmware version using one of the examples, but I cannot run anything else. This would at least tell me the wiring is correct. But running the same "CheckFirmwareVersion" in WiFiNINA Generic does not work.

Describe the bug

I have a custom board based on the sparkfun_samd51_micromod that has a Ublox W102 attached to it. I'm able to use the WiFiNINA from Arduino and Adafruit WiFiNINA Library by only changing the corresponding pins. However, I would like to use the WiFiManager_NINA_Lite in my project so I tried to use the WiFiNINA_Generic but I get Communication with WiFi Module error. So I tried with one of the supported boards in my case the Arduino MKR1010 and I get the same error which makes me think that something in my PlatformIO project is not set correctly.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a new project using PlatformIO Core 6.0.2·Home 3.4.2
for board select mkrwifi1010
frame work arduino.
install WiFiNINA_Generic using the Library registry.
copy the patch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/khoih-prog/WiFiNINA_Generic/master/Packages_Patches/arduino/hardware/samd/1.8.13/platform.txt

into C:\xxxx\xxxx.platformio\packages\framework-arduino-samd\

The plarformio.ini file should look like this

[env:mkrwifi1010]
platform = atmelsam
board = mkrwifi1010
framework = arduino
lib_deps = khoih-prog/WiFiNINA_Generic@^1.8.14-5

copy the content of WiFiping.ino into the main.cpp and move the .h files to the lib folder

Expected behavior

I would expect the board to connect to the local wiifi and ping google.com

Actual behavior

For the Arduino MKR1010 I get
Serial console prints

Start WiFiPing on SAMD MKRWIFI1010
WiFiNINA_Generic v1.8.14-5        
Communication with WiFi module failed!

Information

Please ensure to specify the following:

• Platform.io version Core 6.0.2·Home 3.4.2
• `Arduino MKR1010 samd21 and SAMD51
• I'm hoping to use the WiFiManager_NINA_Lite in my project so I'm hoping to use the WiFiNINA_Generic
