Need MAC Layer Access Driver Source in NONOS SDK 1.4.0 for ESP-WROOM-02(ESP8266EX) Wifi Module

[ritesh]

Hi,

I have one ESP-WROOM-02 Wifi Module and compiled & flashed AT firmware as well as some other TCP/UDP IP related demos using NONOS SDK 1.4.0.

I have also tested some AT Basic, WIfi Related as well as TCP/UDP IP Related commands which works fine without any issue.

I understood STA, AP and both AP+STA mode interface and also looked SDK Directory which provides static libraries like libat.a, liblwip.a etc and Hardrware Interface Driver for SPI,I2C, PWM,GPIO,UART etc.

I have also tested to connect two ESP Modules with each other through STA and AP mode interface.

Now, My Plan is to communicate with multiple modules directly through MAC Interface to bypass STA and AP Mode interface. So, for that, I need to access MAC Layer Interface and need source of MAC Layer Driver. I am just thinking to communicate multiple ESP Modules through MAC.

Does it possible to communicate like above way with NONOS SDK 1.4.0? Does Espressif Systems provides source of MAC Layer Access Driver?

Please let me know if anyone has any idea or any clue or any information for this type of functionality.

Hi,

Does anyone has any update or information to access MAC Layer through MAC Layer Driver on ESP-WROOM-02 Wifi Module?

Hi,

Sorry that we do not provide source of MAC Layer Access Driver, it is confidential codes.

Thanks for your interest in ESP8266 !

Hi,

Thanks for Information.

Is there any way to connect two ESP8266 Wifi Modules directly through MAC Layer so that I can bypass STA and AP Mode interface and can transfer data between each ESP Modules using MAC Interface?

Do you have any idea that it is feasible or not with current SDK and ESP8266 Wifi Modules provided by Espressif System?

Please let me know if you have any idea for that.

I'm also interested in access to the MAC layer. I know several microcontroller projects which have already an IP stack integrated. Just using the ESP8266 in addition (or instead) of the wired Ethernet connection should be relatively easy to implement when there's already an IP stack like Lwip. Currently I can not use the ESP8266, because the communication through AT commands and establishing the IP connections on the ESP8266 has not the power/bandwidth for my needs. An additional AT command to send/receive raw network data could already help.

Hi,

Do you have any update that how to access MAC Layer directly inside ESP-WROOM-02 WiFi Module?

Please let me know if you have any idea for that as I want to do it as research task for my project now.
