Part Number:CC3220
Hi,
We are doing POC on CC3220. We are considering 2 Options, Our intention is to read serial data from end device and wifi Adapter converts serial data send to Cloud for real time access.
1. Adapter as AP, do we need any UI for establishing connection to router? To get the IP address for any TCP/IP based application we need UI please correct me. Now we have problem where adapter is small device without UI but with AP we can achieve simultaneously internet and data collection by running application(TCP/IP Communication) in PC which is also connected same router as Adapter is connected.
2 .As wireless Direct to send wireless data to PC. Can we configure PC as Wi-Fi direct? How my adapter to be configured as Wi-Fi Direct? Here we found limitation, i.e. at a time PC communicates with our Adapter or Act as AP for internet access? Please correct me.
At last, Our final goal is, PC i want to gather the Data from Adapter and sends simultaneously to Cloud. I need guidance what all things i should take care for my Wifi-Adapter and PC. Whether option1 or Option 2 which one better approach. Any other way we can achieve this.
Finally the solution should also support out existing USB application also, i.e. PC is collecting data from my end Device using COM application over USB, So to give backward compatibility what i should do for using same application? Its possible to get Wi-Fi to COM profile? Or its not possible? Or i have go for any USB-Wi-Fi converter for my backward compatibility?
Please guide me,
Thanking in advance.

Nitesh
