Overview & Features
===================

Introduction
------------

CC35xx Simplelink Wi-Fi family of devices is a full SoC, enabling connectivity through Wi-Fi and BLE.
In this section, the focus would be on Wi-Fi and to demonstrates its capabilities, the Network Terminal
example in the SimpleLink Wi-Fi Software Development Kit would be used.
The purpose is to familiarize users with Wi-Fi in general and with the set of APIs available to the application.
To simplify the experience, the network terminal is used to translate these APIs into a readable terminal interactive commands
that would be covered in this section.

.. note::
		Follow the Quick Start Guide under the SDK documentation folder to install the SDK, build the setup,
		activate the device (which is locked initially) and program the device for the first time.
		Upon successful procedure, the Network Terminal menu should appear on the Terminal emulation.
