hello，can anyone answer my question

[kapilkedawat]

@obito1997-wky what's the country set in the host system?

[obito1997-wky]

I use “esp_hosted_wifi_get_country”，the country code read out is “01”

@obito1997-wky what's the country set in the host system?

[kapilkedawat]

@obito1997-wky are you using esp_hosted_fg?

[obito1997-wky]

@obito1997-wky what's the country set in the host system?

@obito1997-wky what's the country set in the host system?

Can I set this country code in the ESP firmware somewhere?

[obito1997-wky]

@obito1997-wky are you using esp_hosted_fg?

yep

[mantriyogesh]

do you mean the 'channel number' of 'softAP' ?
if so, please check API: wifi_start_softap()

[kapilkedawat]

@obito1997-wky channel list is dependent on the country which is being used.

@mantriyogesh I see no API to set country in firmware, we need to add one if not present.

[mantriyogesh]

yes, for country, there is yet no api exposed for Linux.

some reference how channel and country is related: esp_wifi_set_country.

Need to add FG API for country, which would allow additional channels depending upon country

[mantriyogesh]

@SohKamYung-Espressif , Can we please add this?

[obito1997-wky]

do you mean the 'channel number' of 'softAP' ? if so, please check API: wifi_start_softap()

this only supports the setting of 11 channels.

[mantriyogesh]

@obito1997-wky , yes. we need to add either new API or argument in the existing API for supporting country.

esp_wifi_Xet_country() or
esp_wifi_Xet_country_code()

would be then taken care in firmware accordingly.

If the channel requested allowed for that country, should be allowed.

For now to unblock you, you can manually set your country in the slave firmware code. else, please wait from us for the fix.
