Important Notes

The new WiFiNINA_Generic v1.8.15-1+ is using new WiFi101_Generic library to permit sending larger data than total 4K when using MKR1000 or MKRWiFi1010 with ATMEL WINC1500 WiFi

The new WiFiNINA_Generic v1.8.15-0+ fixes severe limitation to permit sending much larger data than total 4K.

The new WiFiNINA_Generic v1.8.14-5+ fixes bug causing data lost when sending large files, such as FTP Client uploading files.

Please use the new firmware NINA_W102.zip, modified by Juraj Andrássy, from Using WIFI-NINA with FtpServer; no accept() #31 to use with new version WiFiNINA_Generic v1.8.14-4+ to fix some issues, such as FTPServer port 23, etc.



Why do we need this WiFiNINA_Generic library

Features

The original Arduino WiFiNINA library only supports very limited boards, such as: the Arduino MKR WiFi 1010, Arduino MKR VIDOR 4000, Nano-33-IoT and Arduino UNO WiFi Rev.2.

HOWTO Change pin definitions for WiFiNINA

Please change the pin-to-pin connection in WiFiNINA_Pinout_Generic.h to match actual connection. The section for NINA_B302_ublox and NINA_B112_ublox has been tested and working OK.

For example

#elif  ( defined(NINA_B302_ublox) )

HOWTO Update WiFiNINA Firmware (latest version is v1.4.8 as of August 2021)

1) Update the WiFi101 / WiFiNINA FirmwareUpdater-Plugin

  • Download latest release from WiFi101-FirmwareUpdater-Plugin. As of August 2021, the latest WiFiNINA FW is v1.4.8, use WiFi101-FirmwareUpdater-Plugin version v0.12.0+.
  • Unzip the downloaded file into WiFi101 folder (WiFi101/tool/firmwares folder and WiFi101/tool/WiFi101.jar file)
  • Copy the whole WiFi101 folder to ./arduino-1.8.yy/tools to overwrite the old WiFi101 folder.
  • Restart the Arduino IDE if running.

2) Upload the WiFiNINA_Generic library's FirmwareUpdater sketch

Upload the WiFiNINA_Generic library's FirmwareUpdater sketch to your board (Nano-33-IoT, nRF52, etc.) according to these following steps:

  • Select FirmwareUpdater sketch from File > Examples > WiFiNINA_Generic > tools > FirmwareUpdater
  • Upload the sketch, then close the terminal, if opened.

3) Update WiFiNINA Firmware

  • Select Tools > WiFi101 / WiFiNINA Firmware Updater.

  • Select the port of your board from the list under "1. Select port of the WiFi module".

  • Select the latest firmware, e.g. "WiFiNINA firmware (1.4.8)(Arduino MKR WiFi1010, Arduino NANO 33 IoT, Arduino NANO RP2040 Connect) under "2. Update firmware".

  • Click "Update Firmware"

  • When done successfully, a window with message "The firmware has been updated"

4) Verify by uploading the WiFiNINA_Generic library's CheckFirmwareVersion sketch

Verify by uploading the WiFiNINA_Generic library's CheckFirmwareVersion sketch to your board (Nano 33 IoT, nRF52, etc.) according to these following steps:

  • Select CheckFirmwareVersion sketch from File > Examples > WiFiNINA_Generic > tools > CheckFirmwareVersion
  • Upload the sketch.
  • If OK, terminal will show PASSED as follows:
Start WiFiNINA CheckFirmwareVersion on SAMD_NANO_33_IOT
WiFiNINA_Generic v1.8.15-1
Firmware version installed: aaa.bbb.ccc
Latest firmware version available : aaa.bbb.ccc

Check result: PASSED


How to update SSL certificates

Please check the Arduino Tutorial if more info is required.

With the same procedure, you may load root certificates on the WiFi module to access securely specific websites. Your board must be running the FirmwareUpdater sketch to work .The root certificates are issued by a limited number of certification authorities, but it is difficult to know which site is using which authority. To ease your life, we allow you to specify directly the URL to which you need to connect securely, leaving to us the task to download the root certificate.

The list you are building is not saved from one session to the next one. It might happen that a few websites share the same root certificate. You don't have to worry about this as we take care of it. The space available on your WiFi module to store the certificates is limited to around 10 certificates that, being issued by a limited number of authorities, should be more than enough for the average projects.

This is the screen to demonstrate the SSL certificates have been loaded successfully onto a nRF52-based NINA_B302_ublox board running with ublox WiFiNINA W102 .

Debug

Debug is enabled by default on Serial. Debug Level from 0 to 4. To disable, change the WEBSOCKETS_LOGLEVEL to 0

// Use this to output debug msgs to Serial
#define DEBUG_WIFININA_PORT       Serial
// Use this to disable all output debug msgs
// Debug Level from 0 to 4
#define _WIFININA_LOGLEVEL_       0

Troubleshooting

If you get compilation errors, more often than not, you may need to install a newer version of the board's core, WiFiNINA module/shield firmware 1.4.8+ or this library version.

Sometimes, the library will only work if you update the WiFiNINA module/shield core to the newer or older version because some function compatibility.



TO DO

  1. Bug Searching and Killing
  2. Support more types of boards using WiFiNINA and other WiFi shields.

DONE

  1. Add support to Adafruit SAMD21 (Itsy-Bitsy M0, Metro M0, Feather M0 Express, etc.).
  2. Add support to Adafruit SAMD51 (Itsy-Bitsy M4, Metro M4, Grand Central M4, Feather M4 Express, METRO_M4_AIRLIFT_LITE, PYBADGE_AIRLIFT_M4, etc.).
  3. Add support to Adafruit nRF52 ( Feather nRF52832, nRF52840 Express, BlueFruit Sense, Itsy-Bitsy nRF52840 Express, Metro nRF52840 Express, NINA_B302_ublox, NINA_B112_ublox, etc.).
  4. Add support to SAM DUE.
  5. Add support to Teensy.
  6. Add support to all STM32F/L/H/G/WB/MP1 having 64K+ Flash program memory.
  7. Add support to Seeeduino SAMD21/SAMD51 boards (SEEED_WIO_TERMINAL, SEEED_FEMTO_M0, SEEED_XIAO_M0, Wio_Lite_MG126, WIO_GPS_BOARD, SEEEDUINO_ZERO, SEEEDUINO_LORAWAN, SEEED_GROVE_UI_WIRELESS, etc.)
  8. Add function to support new WebSockets2_Generic Library
  9. Update default pin-outs for nRF52 boards, especially NINA_112_ublox.
  10. Add support to Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect using Arduino mbed OS for Nano boards.
  11. Add support to RP2040-based boards, such as RASPBERRY_PI_PICO, ADAFRUIT_FEATHER_RP2040 and GENERIC_RP2040, using Earle Philhower's arduino-pico core.
  12. Add support to RP2040-based boards, such as RASPBERRY_PI_PICO, ADAFRUIT_FEATHER_RP2040 and GENERIC_RP2040, using Arduino-mbed RP2040 core.
  13. Add support to Arduino ATMega-16U4, ATMega-32U4-based boards
  14. Add support to Adafruit ATMega-32U4-based boards
  15. Add support to Arduino, Adafruit ATMega-328(P)-based boards
  16. Add support to Generic or Sparkfun AVR ATmega_32U4 such as AVR_MAKEYMAKEY, AVR_PROMICRO, etc.
  17. Add support to Generic or Sparkfun AVR ATmega_328(P) such as ARDUINO_REDBOT, ARDUINO_AVR_DIGITAL_SANDBOX, etc.
  18. Add support to Generic or Sparkfun AVR ATmega128RFA1 such as ATMEGA128RFA1_DEV_BOARD, etc.
  19. Add support to ADAFRUIT_MATRIXPORTAL_M4_EXPRESS
  20. Add support to generic __SAMD21E1xA__, __SAMD21G1xA__ and __SAMD21J1xA__
  21. Add support to Nano_RP2040_Connect using arduino-pico core
  22. Fix bugs by using some PRs from original WiFiNINA, such as:
  1. Fix bug causing data lost when sending large files. This is just a kludge for temporary use, waiting for better and final fix, dealing with SPI driver, from Arduino.
  2. Add support to Teensy 4.x using Adafruit Airlift Featherwing Co-Processor
  3. Modify WiFiWebServer example to avoid analogRead() crash in arduino-pico core. Check WiFi.localIP() hangs in Nano RP2040 Connect with Arduino-Pico core (EarlePhilhower) #24
  4. Use allman astyle and add utils
  5. Fix severe limitation to permit sending much larger data than total 4K. Check server.send buffer size limited to 4k #23
  6. Add examples WiFiWebServer_BigData to demo how to send much larger data than total 4K
  7. Using new WiFi101_Generic library to permit sending larger data than total 4K when using MKR1000 or MKRWiFi1010 with ATMEL WINC1500 WiFi

Contributions and Thanks

  1. Based on and modified from from Arduino WiFiNINA library.Thanks to the great works of these WiFiNINA Library's Contributors
  2. Thanks to good work of Miguel Alexandre Wisintainer for initiating, inspriring, working with, developing, debugging and testing. Without that, support to nRF52, especially NINA_B302_ublox running as nRF52840 and NINA_B112_ublox running as nRF52832, has never been started and finished. See u-blox nina b
