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
Dear @ajihu ,
Based on your description, especially for running basic AI models, RW61X (RW610/RW611/RW612) may already be sufficient for your application.
RW61X integrates:
- MCU
- Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth LE
- (RW612 also supports 802.15.4 / Thread)
For basic AI inference workloads, RW61X can run both the application and wireless connectivity stack on a single device, potentially eliminating the need for an additional MCU.
However, it is important to clarify what you mean by "Mesh".
RW61X does NOT support:
- IEEE 802.11s Mesh
- EasyMesh
RW61X supports:
- Matter
- Thread
- Zigbee (via 802.15.4 ecosystem)
- STA + uAP concurrent mode
[Note]
If additional AI processing performance is required, you may consider:
- i.MX RT700 + IW61X
- i.MX RT1170 + IW61X
- i.MX RT1180 + IW61X
Please note that these solutions also do NOT support:
- IEEE 802.11s Mesh
- EasyMesh
They support:
- Matter
- Thread
- Zigbee
- STA + uAP concurrent mode
Thanks!
Best Regards,
Weidong
