Wi-Fi Chipset MCU Control

Hello everyone,

I was browsing for some wifi modules with AP+STA functionalities. I found some modules from NXP, Microchip, and Infineon for example. However, most of the modules are only enabling wifi interface through PCIe and with advanced OS.

However, I found a set of MCU+Wifi module from infineon called AIROC CYW55X (series).

Do you have any experience integrating and controlling these type of modules? If so, can you share different modules that you have used before and were able successful to integrate with an external MCU? My intention is not to offload data to the microcontroller, only to control for example the mesh and AP capabilities.

I want to use a MCU (STM for example) to perform some inference on some basic AI models while controlling the wifi module.

Thanks guys

Hello @maiyaa, hope you are doing well.

If you are interested on hosted wireless modules, I would suggest checking the IW611 as this SoC provides Wi-Fi interfacing through SDIO and is supported on FreeRTOS. Additionally, please refer to our Wi-Fi + Bluetooth + 802.15.4 Partner Modules page which includes all of the modules that integrate the IW611. You will also see the recommended hosts for each module, which for MCUs, it is suggested to work with IW611+RT1060.

As a side note, I would recommend checking the RW61X family, as these are hostless solutions that integrate Wi-Fi+Bluetooth+802.15.4 (for RW612) or Wi-Fi+Bluetooth (for RW610) radios within the MCU.

Please let me know if any of these solutions meet your requirements, or if you have an specific feature to cover so I can provide a better recommendation.
