# Wi-Fi iTWT — Coprocessor
802.11ax **individual Target Wake Time** — the station negotiates a periodic wake schedule with the AP and sleeps the radio between wake-ups, slashing average power for always-connected devices. Ports the upstream IDF `wifi/itwt` example; the radio runs on the **coprocessor**, the app on the **host**. The CP exposes the `eh_host_feat_wifi_ext_itwt` extension. On boot the host opens a serial console (`itwt>`) so TWT setup / teardown / suspend can be driven interactively.
## Supported Platforms and Transports
### Supported Coprocessors
iTWT is a Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) feature — it requires a Wi-Fi 6 coprocessor.
| Coprocessor | ESP32-C5 | ESP32-C6 | ESP32-C61 |
| :---------: | :------: | :------: | :-------: |
| Support | Yes | Yes | Yes |
### Supported Host Devices
| Host Device | ESP32-P4 | ESP32-H2 | Other MCUs | Linux |
| :---------: | :------: | :------: | :--------: | :---: |
| Support | Yes | Yes | [Yes](https://github.com/espressif/esp-hosted/blob/master/docs/getting-started-mcu.md) | [Yes](https://github.com/espressif/esp-hosted/blob/master/docs/getting-started-linux.md) |
### Supported Connection buses
| Connection bus | SDIO | SPI Full-Duplex | SPI Half-Duplex | UART |
| :------------- | :--: | :-------------: | :-------------: | :--: |
| Linux host | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| MCU host | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
The iTWT feature gate (`CONFIG_ESP_HOSTED_CP_FEAT_WIFI_EXT_ITWT`) is preset in `cp/sdkconfig.defaults` and needs a Wi-Fi 6 (HE) capable chip. Select the transport:
```bash
cd examples/wifi/itwt/cp
idf.py set-target esp32c6
idf.py menuconfig
```
```text
Component config
└── ESP-Hosted
└── Configure coprocessor
└── CP transport
├── Communication bus (co-processor <== bus ==> host)
│ ├── ( ) SPI Full Duplex
│ ├── (X) SDIO <── default
│ ├── ( ) SPI Half Duplex ← MCU host only
│ └── ( ) UART ← MCU host only
└── SDIO Configuration ← clock, GPIOs, checksum (defaults OK)
```
Each bus has its own settings submenu (pins, clock, checksum) — defaults are fine for bring-up.
CP dependency config is **pre-set in `cp/sdkconfig.defaults`** (do not remove):
```text
CONFIG_ESP_HOSTED_CP_FEAT_WIFI=y # Wi-Fi (default CP feature)
CONFIG_ESP_HOSTED_CP_FEAT_WIFI_EXT_ITWT=y # iTWT (802.11ax TWT) feature extension
# requires an SoC with Wi-Fi 6 / HE support (CONFIG_SOC_WIFI_HE_SUPPORT) — e.g. ESP32-C5 / C6 / C61
```
Then flash and monitor:
```bash
idf.py -p <cp_usb_serial_port> flash monitor
```
