Porting WiFi Manager to RTL8720?

[S10143806H]

Hi @khoih-prog.
I am from Ameba IoT [RTL8722/RTL8195/RTL8710/...] FB group with 4.4k active users. Recently, there are some requirements in the group requesting for porting WiFi Manager from ESP to Ameba. And I have just noticed that you have already contributed to another similar repo: ESP_WifiManager.
May I know if there are any chances that WiFi Manager will be ported in this repo as well in the future?

We would like to promote your repo in our group as well if you don't mind!
Thank you.

HI @S10143806H

Thanks for your and Ameba's interest in the library.

The infrastructure for the future so-called RTL8720_WiFiManager has been ready thanks for these libraries of mine

1. FlashStorage_RTL8720
2. DoubleResetDetector_Generic
3. This WiFiWebServer_RTL8720

I can either add the support of RTL8720 into WiFiManager_Generic_Lite library or create the new RTL8720_WiFiManager and will decide when I have time to start that new work.

I dropped the development of RTL8720-related libraries because there was little interest / users at that time. I'm hoping that the market will understand and value the superior 5GHz-band WiFi support of RTP8720 boards.

You can also start the development, if interested and urgent. Just follow the WiFiManager_Generic_Lite library, then make a PR or create the new RTL8720_WiFiManager

Dear @khoih-prog,

Thank you for your prompt reply and for providing the WiFiManager_Generic_Lite library. I will take a look at I and get back to you.

I will mark this discussion as answered first. Please feel free to join Ameba's community. Meanwhile, you could check our porting for Arduino on RTL8722DM, RTL8720DN ... here AmebaD Arduino.

Thanks again!

I've just checked and turned out that I have written a version of WiFiManager_RT8720 sometime ago, but not published yet.

It still needs some more tests to finalize.

@S10143806H

Are you and/or your friends can spend time to test and finalize that library and save us some time?
If OK, I can post / publish the library within today.

I've just published the new WiFiManager_RTL8720 library

Try the example RTL8720_WiFi

There is a severe bug in WiFi library of AmebaD core. Please check Important Notes then push Realtek to fix.

Hi @khoih-prog ,

Sorry for the late reply since I just back from holiday. I have tested from my side that the basic example: RTL8720_WiFi is working well.

Moving on to reproduce the issue of the WiFi.status() bug now.
I will be moving on the discussion to the WiFiManager_RTL8720 library repo.

Thank you.
