Hi!

I want to try to broadcast the same data to all the nodes connected to the root node. The documentation says the "mwifi_root_write" API "Can send data to multiple devices at the same time". I understand the "dest_addrs_num" parameter is used to specify the number of nodes the root will send data to. But it is not clear as to how to specify the multiple destination addresses within the API. Can you please help me out with this?

Also, is there an easier way to send(broadcast) the data to all the nodes connected to the root?

Thanks,
Karan

Hi Karan,
please, check the code attached (examples\function_demo\mwifi) - hope this helps you with understanding multiple device addressing (which is pretty much the same for unicast and multicast). README.md in the example dir contains all initial info, further details are commented in the code.
The package attached contains whole MDF repo since we are currently working for updates which are not yet public.

Feel free to contact me if you have any issues with running the demo.

Best regards,
Martin

With the above code, latest IDF checkout, and LyraT v4.3, if I set the example code to Writer, it booted up. If I set the example code to Reader, it repeatedly crashed and rebooted.

Hi scruffynerf,

Sorry for the late reply, could you help provide the log if you can reproduce it ?
