{IDF_TARGET_NAME} does not support Wi-Fi functionality natively, but it is possible to use the same Wi-Fi API and features using Wi-Fi expansion.

{IDF_TARGET_NAME} does support Wi-Fi functionality natively, please refer to :doc:`wifi` documentation. Even though Wi-Fi is supported on {IDF_TARGET_NAME}, it is possible to expand it and use another instance of Wi-Fi expansion interfaces using `esp_wifi_remote <https://components.espressif.com/components/espressif/esp_wifi_remote>`_ component.

{IDF_TARGET_NAME} esp_wifi_remote
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The principle of Wi-Fi Expansion operation is to add another ESP32 series, Wi-Fi capable, target connected to the {IDF_TARGET_NAME} in a pre-defined way. Your project could then include the `esp_wifi_remote <https://components.espressif.com/components/espressif/esp_wifi_remote>`_ component using:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
idf.py add-dependency esp_wifi_remote
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please follow the instructions described in the `esp_wifi_remote documentation <https://github.com/espressif/esp-protocols/blob/master/components/esp_wifi_remote/README.md>`_.

|
|
|
.. only:: not SOC_WIFI_SUPPORTED
|
|
|
|
To explore the Wi-Fi Expansion functionality on {IDF_TARGET_NAME}, you can get started with this example: :idf_file:`examples/protocols/mqtt/tcp/README.md` and choose Wi-Fi connection in the project configuration menu.

{IDF_TARGET_NAME} esp-extconn
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The principle of esp-extconn operation is to add another supported target series connected to the {IDF_TARGET_NAME} in a pre-defined way. Compared to the esp_wifi_remote approach, the target side can operate without flash, as the firmware is delivered by the hosted side. Your project could then include the `esp-extconn <https://components.espressif.com/components/espressif/esp-extconn>`_ component using:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
idf.py add-dependency esp-extconn
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please follow the instructions described in the `esp-extconn documentation <https://github.com/espressif/esp-extconn/blob/master/README.md>`_.
|
|
|
|
To explore the esp-extconn functionality on {IDF_TARGET_NAME}, you can get started with this example: :idf_file:`examples/wifi/iperf/README.md` and choose Wi-Fi connection in the project configuration menu.
