wolfSSL WICED Port

    • wolfSSL recently released version 4.0.0 of the wolfSSL embedded SSL/TLS library with a litany of port additions. One of these new ports is added functionality for Cypress’s WICED Studio SDK! WICED Studio is an SDK targeting IoT devices, offering both Bluetooth and WI-Fi (IEEE 802.11) development platforms. WICED SDK offers code examples and tools for embedded development boards including Adafruit Feather boards which, is a great alternative to Arduino for student boards. The code examples demonstrate the use of wolfCrypt and integrate wolfSSL functionality into the WICED platform. A TLS client and server was added using the wolfSSL library, as well as, an HTTPS client example. wolfSSL supplies a client and server for testing purposes, the HTTPS client example also runs against the wolfSSL example server as well as www.example.com for demonstration purposes.

    wolfSSL is a highly configurable option to accompany WICED software allowing manual configuration options affecting functionality and build size. The examples provided serve as a starting point for any embedded project and works with TLS versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3; they are built on the ThreadX RTOS using NetX Duo for the TCP/IP stack.

    wolfSSL v4.0.0.0 can be downloaded from the wolfSSL download page, or from the GitHub repository here: https://github.com/wolfssl/wolfssl.git.
