WINC1500 Certificate Download through OTA (HTTPS) from Host for SAMW25 XPlained Pro Documentation

Introduction

This example demonstrates how to connect to an HTTPS server and download a root/tls certificates using HTTPS client. Then sends the certificates to WINC SPI flash from host
It uses the following hardware:

• the SAM Xplained Pro.
• the WINC1500 on EXT1.

Main Files

• main.c : WINC1500 Wi-Fi module, then download a certificate file using HTTPS client and then writes into WINC SPI flash.

Usage

1. Configure below code in the main.h for AP information to be connected.

   *    #define MAIN_WLAN_SSID         "DEMO_AP"
   *    #define MAIN_WLAN_AUTH         M2M_WIFI_SEC_WPA_PSK
   *    #define MAIN_WLAN_PSK          "12345678"
   * 

2. Provide HTTPS URL macro with partial URL (exclude the certificate .cer file name in the main.h file.

   *    #define MAIN_HTTP_FILE_URL                   "https://192.168.43.34/"
   * 

3. Provide number of tls/root certificates .cer to be downloaded

   *    #define NUM_OF_ROOT_TLS_CHAIN_CERTIFICATES      5
   * 

4. Provide certificate file name list in root_tls_certs_name
5. Build the program and download it into the board.
6. On the computer, open and configure a terminal application as following.

   *    Baud Rate : 115200
   *    Data : 8bit
   *    Parity bit : none
   *    Stop bit : 1bit
   *    Flow control : none
   * 

7. Start the application.
8. In the terminal window, the following text should appear:
