The SimpleLink™ subsystem provides fast, secure WLAN and Internet connections with 256-bit encryption. The CC32xx device supports station, AP, and Wi-Fi Direct® modes. The device also supports WPA2 personal and enterprise security and WPS 2.0. The Wi-Fi® network processor includes an embedded IPv6 TCP/IP stack.
This multiprocessor subsystem consists of:
The SimpleLink™ subsystem is accessible from the application MCU over an asynchronous link and can be controlled through a complete set of SimpleLink™ host driver APIs provided as part of the ROM driver library. The mode of usage is similar to that of an external MCU using the CC3120 device.
The co-location of the Wi-Fi® subsystem on the same die imposes a few restrictions on the application MCU. These are covered in Chapter 15.
