17 Drive Atmel WINC1500 offloaded WiFi chip.

19Description:
20 In order to support WINC1500 chip, it has been decided to use the
21 existing Atmel't HAL: ASF. WINC1500 is an MCU providing WiFi and
22 an IPv4 stack. These features appear then fully offloaded from Zephyr
23 into that chip.
24
25 Provides an acces to WiFi networks.
26
27 Zephyr does not own a native WiFi stack, however enabling Zephyr to
28 access WiFi networks is critical and using such offloaded MCU is the
29 easiest way to achieve this goal.
30
31 WINC1500 is fairly easy to interface with, it proposes either SPI or
32 I²C bus to do so.
33
34Dependencies:
35 None.
36
37 No direct dependancy. Zephyr will see the MCU as a usual network
38 interface. Such object being instanciated by the driver, which in turn
39 accesses the chip through Atmel ASF HAL.
