Hi Guys
We are doing a project using the Quectel FGH100MAAMD with an esp32-s3. We were able to confirm the SPI communication using the porting assistant and are now trying to run an iperf between two quectel modules. When flashing both the TCP server and the TCP client try to connect to an access point. Is it possible to run the server as a SoftAP to test connection between two modules? We couldn’t find anything thus far.
Any help is appreciated
Hi @alwym
AP mode support for the esp32 will be more accessible in our next release. It is possible to make SoftAP work with 2.9.7 but it requires pulling in some hostap code from the MM-IoT-SDK , linking it to libmorse_nosupplicant.a, then mangling symbols which collide with ESPs hostap symbols of the same name.
Not really an easy process, so definitely can’t recommend it yet. Keep an eye out for 2.10!
Just end up at same situation, looking forward for the next release.
