WiFi provisioning

[lptr]

Hi all,

I’m porting an existing ESP‑IDF C++ firmware to Rust using esp-hal. Everything is straightforward except Wi‑Fi provisioning — I currently use SoftAP provisioning in ESP‑IDF, but I’m not sure how to replicate that in pure Rust.

What’s the recommended way to provision Wi‑Fi credentials on an ESP32-S3-based device when using esp-hal? I’m open to solutions like SoftAP, BluFi, or anything else that supports provisioning via a readily available iOS/Android app (e.g., EspBluFi).

Thanks in advance for any guidance or examples!

I personally don't know of any drop-in / out-of-the-box solution.

For SoftAP / captive-portal the building blocks are available - e.g. https://github.com/ivmarkov/edge-net

For provisioning via BLE there is an unfinished / incomplete and outdated experiment: https://github.com/bjoernQ/esp32c3-ble-provisioning-experiment
