Download and Install Wi-Fi SDK

Bluegiga Legacy Wi-Fi software provides powerful, low overhead, and easy-to-use Bluegiga BGAPI™ serial protocol that can be used over UART, USB, or SPI interfaces. BGAPI serial protocol provides access to functions, such as Access Point discovery, association and encryption and connection establishment as well TCP and UDP data trasfer. To simplify the software development for external host processors the Bluegiga Wi-Fi software also includes a Bluegiga BGLIBTM C-library that implements the BGAPITM serial protocol parser and it can be easily ported to various embedded systems.
For standalone applications, the Bluegiga Legacy Wi-Fi Software also provides a simple BGScript™ scripting language and VM environment, which enables users to write simple applications for the WF121 Wi-Fi module. This enables lower cost and smaller designs without the need for an external MCU.
