This repository contains examples to use with Silicon Labs Wi-Fi FMAC driver (FMAC standing for Full-MAC). These example codes are meant to be evaluated with hosts connected to the WF200 Wi-Fi Expansion Kit or the WFM200 Wi-Fi Expansion Kit. It can also be run on the WGM160P Wi-Fi Module Starter Kit. Unless otherwise specified in the directory, all examples are considered to be EXPERIMENTAL QUALITY which implies that the code provided in the repository has not been formally tested and is provided as-is. It is not suitable for production environments.
