Wi-Fi Aware NAN with iOS 26 on IW612 and FRDM-IMX93 sample code and 88W9098 support

Hello,

I am developing a consumer accessory for iPhone that uses Wi-Fi Aware (NAN)
as its data link. Apple added a public Wi-Fi Aware framework in iOS 26, and
I already have a working iPhone-to-iPhone benchmark app (Publish/Subscribe,
paired devices, TCP data path). I am now selecting the NXP side.

My plan is to evaluate the IW612 on the FRDM-IMX93 board as the NAN peer,
then move to an i.MX 8M Plus based design with NVMe storage.

I have four questions:

1. In thread 2170706 ("Sample code for WiFi Aware (NAN) on iMX boards with
the IW612 tri-radio module"), NXP shared Wi-Fi Aware sample code for
iOS interoperability through secure files. Could I get access to the
same material? I can open a formal support case if that is the proper
channel.

2. Does the FRDM-IMX93 Debian/Yocto BSP ship with an IW612 firmware that
has NAN enabled out of the box, and which BSP release should I use?

3. For a 2x2 variant of the same design, does the 88W9098 firmware support
NAN / Wi-Fi Aware under the MXM driver?

4. Has NXP validated NAN pairing and data path against iOS 26 (Wi-Fi Aware
4.0 / PASN pairing)? Any known limitations would be very helpful.

Target: iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone 12 Pro Max on iOS 26.5, Xcode 26.
Any throughput figures for the IW612 NAN data path would also be welcome.

Thank you,
Youssef

Hello,

Hope you are doing well. For feature list of our Wi-Fi devices, I would recommend checking the NXP Wireless SoC Features and Release Notes for Linux.

For documents that are under Secure Files: Secure Access Rights | NXP Semiconductors

Could you please follow the process?

Also, I would recommend checking the Secure Access Rights FAQs | NXP Semiconductors

Best Regards,
