CMSIS-Drivers for WiFi connectivity is a standardized interface, that makes cloud connectivity simple. Off-the-shelf CMSIS components let developers easily set up and connect embedded applications to the cloud using a WiFi shield for their favorite development board. The new WiFi driver validation suite helps to debug connectivity issues and get to a stable connection faster.

We will demonstrate these functionalities on an NXP LPC55S69 development board with a popular WiFi shield Wizfi360 during the webinar. You will learn about how to:

- Set up and connect an embedded application to the cloud

- Use Wifi driver validation suite to debug connectivity issues

### **Building blocks**

The following MDK-Packs provide the basic building blocks that are required to connect to the cloud providers. These software packs are available from the Pack Installer:

For the above mentioned cloud providers, an IoT client is available. The end node application uses this client, connected to the [MDK-Middleware](https://www2.keil.com/mdk5/middleware) networking stack running on a [CMSIS-RTOS v2](https://www2.keil.com/mdk5/cmsis#rtos) based real-time operating system.

Software flowA simplified software flow can be described as follows:

1. The application initializes and starts the real-time operating system.

2. It initializes the network stack which needs to be active before the next step.

3. The IoT client is used through its API.

### **Further information and download**

[Application note 312](https://www2.keil.com/appnotes/docs/apnt_312.asp) provides further details on the various cloud services that are supported.

All software packs are fully CMSIS-Packs compliant so that they can be used in any third party development environment with CMSIS-Pack support.
