This section mainly introduces the use of QCC743/QCC744 Wi-Fi and how to make http
            requests.

## Hardware preparation

Prepare a development board.

The development board has a USB interface. After connecting to the computer using a
                Type-C cable, the USB can enumerate a serial port while powering the development
                board.

The development board also has a BOOT button, which is used to select the operating
                mode after the chip is reset. With the RESET button, it can realize the Flash
                startup and download mode entry of the chip.

- Operating mode

Directly press the RESET button and release it. After the button is released, the
                chip starts from Flash and enters the running mode.

- Download mode

First press the BOOT button, then press the RESET button, then release the RESET
                button, and finally release the BOOT button. At this time, the chip enters the
                programming mode.

## PC preparation

Prepare PC terminal tools: xshell or mobaxterm. Under Linux, you can choose picocom
                or putty.

## Software implementation

For more detailed code, refer to
                examples/wifi/sta/wifi\_http.

## Compile and program

- The Makefile file has already configured CHIP and `BOARD`
                            parameters, and does not need to be filled in by the user.

    $ cd examples/wifi/sta/wifi_http
    $ makeCopy to clipboard

## Experimental phenomena

- Open the serial port terminal software, press the reset key, and output the
                        following log. Press the Enter key to display the
                        words **qcc74x /&gt;**, similar to the Linux terminal.
- Enter `wifi_sta_connect ssid pwd` to connect to the network,
                        where ssid is the connected ap name and pwd is the connected ap password
- After the Wi-Fi connection is successful, the assigned IP address will be
                        printed out and CONNECTED will be prompted.
- Enter `ping url` to ping a website, url is the website IP
                        address or domain name
- Enter `wifi_http_test url` to get html data from the website,
                        the url is the website IP address or domain name
