ESP-IoT-Bridge Solution

The ESP-IoT-Bridge solution framework is a complete project directory structure framework based on the IoT-Bridge components, which can be used by developers for reference.

ESP-IoT-Bridge solution is mainly for the connection and communication between various network interfaces realized by IoT application scenarios, such as interconnection between SPI, SDIO, USB, Wi-Fi, Ethernet and other network interfaces, and can be combined with other solutions to form more complex application scenarios, such as Wi-Fi Mesh Lite, Rainmaker, etc. This solution is widely used in wireless hotspots, wired network cards, 4G Internet access and other fields. For more information, see User_Guide.md.

In the examples directory, demos of some common application scenarios are implemented for users to quickly integrate into their own application projects.

• examples/wifi_router: The device based on the ESP-IoT-Bridge solution connects to the router through Wi-Fi or ethernet, and the smart device such as the phone can access the internet by connecting to the SoftAP hotspot provided by the ESP-IoT-Bridge device.
• examples/wireless_nic：ESP-IoT-Bridge device can be connected to the PC or MCU through multiple network interfaces (USB/ETH/SPI/SDIO). Once connected, the PC or MCU will have an additional network card. These devices can access the Internet after configuring the network.
• examples/wired_nic：ESP-IoT-Bridge device can connect to the network by plugging the Ethernet cable into the LAN port of router. PC or MCU can connect with the ESP-IoT-Bridge device through multiple interfaces (USB/SPI/SDIO) to gain internet access.
• examples/4g_hotspot: ESP-IoT-Bridge device can be equipped with a mobile network module with a SIM card and then convert the cellular network into a Wi-Fi signal. The surrounding smart devices can connect to the hotspot from the ESP-IoT-Bridge device to gain Internet access.
• examples/4g_nic：ESP-IoT-Bridge device can be equipped with a mobile network module with a SIM card. After the network module is connected to the Internet, the PC or MCU can be connected to it through the network interface (ETH/SPI/SDIO) to gain Internet access.
