Soh Kam Yung 2bec3bc441 feat(hosted_examples): Added ESP-Hosted to Wi-Fi examples
- add ESP32-P4 and ESP32-H2 as Supported Targets to following
  examples, using ESP-Hosted and Wi-Fi Remote as components:
  - iperf (H2)
  - getting_started/softAP
  - getting_started/station
  - scan
  - fast_scan
  - softap_sta
- updated `.build-test-rules.yml` to enable pre-commit to accept ESP-P4
  and ESP-H2 as Supported Targets
- updated iperf sdkconfig.defaults for P4 to use parameters from wifi-remote

Wi-Fi SoftAP Example

(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)

This example shows how to use the Wi-Fi SoftAP functionality of the Wi-Fi driver of ESP for serving as an Access Point.

How to use example

SoftAP supports Protected Management Frames(PMF). Necessary configurations can be set using pmf flags. Please refer Wifi-Security for more info.

Configure the project

Open the project configuration menu (idf.py menuconfig).

In the Example Configuration menu:

  • Set the Wi-Fi configuration.
    • Set WiFi SSID.
    • Set WiFi Password.

Optional: If you need, change the other options according to your requirements.

Build and Flash

Build the project and flash it to the board, then run the monitor tool to view the serial output:

Run idf.py -p PORT flash monitor to build, flash and monitor the project.

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

See the Getting Started Guide for all the steps to configure and use the ESP-IDF to build projects.

Example Output

There is the console output for this example:

I (917) phy: phy_version: 3960, 5211945, Jul 18 2018, 10:40:07, 0, 0

Running the example on ESP Chips without Wi-Fi

This example can run on ESP Chips without Wi-Fi using ESP-Hosted. See the Two-Chip Solution section in the upper level README.md for information.
