Hello,

Why was WiFi qca demo (WiFi 10 Click module) and middleware library removed from SDK 2.9.0 for LPC55s69?

Hi

Yes, we have removed support for this old Qualcomm platform, we are planning to focus for mw320 based UART connected WiFi.

Marvel Wifi will be the main choices for NXP SDK.

Have a nice day,

Hi, 

Thank you for the information.

It's a pity because the Wifi 10 Click module (SX-ULPAN-SB-2401) is relatively short on the market. We use it at the University in our Embedded and IoT laboratory with LPC55s69 EVB (we have 20 teaching positions ). It remains for us to port the library from the older SDK. 

BTW we also have LPC54018 IoT modules (also QCA WiFi).

In the case of the aforementioned MW320, do you plan to release any module with a Micro BUS or PMOD connector, easy to connect to existing evaluation boards such as LPC55s69 EVB?

Regards,

Daniel

Yes, the new solution will use also MicroBUS. It will use UART for communication using AT commands.

Hi,

Thanks for the information.

So we are waiting impatiently. When can this be expected?

 We will be releasing the support during Q2 2021
