Clarification on Zigbee Protocol Support and Linux Driver for IW612

Abhilasha · ‎10-13-2024

I'm currently working with the NXP MAYA-W271-00B (IW612) , and I wanted to confirm whether it supports the Zigbee protocol in addition to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. If Zigbee is supported, could anyone point me to the appropriate resources or provide guidance on where I might find the Linux driver or any necessary integration details?

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hi, @Abhilasha

Thanks for creating case to us.

For IW612, yes, except Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, it also supported Zigbee which is based on 802.15.4.

To use IW612's Zigbee based on Linux, you can refer to below guide:

Getting Started with NXP-based Wireless Modules on i.MX 8M Quad EVK Running Linux OS - User manual

To get the latest IW612's driver, you can download it through below link:

https://github.com/nxp-imx/mwifiex/tree/lf-6.6.36_2.1.0

To get the latest IW612's FW, you can download it through below link:

https://github.com/nxp-imx/imx-firmware/tree/lf-6.6.36_2.1.0/nxp/FwImage_IW612_SD

Please do not hesitate to mark my answer as a solution, if it really does help for you.

Hi， @Abhilasha

It needs secure files access to get download permission.

You can download the driver and FW through my given links, which doesn't need secure files access.

Best regards,

Can you provide me the link for driver that supports zigbee protocol ?

Christine_Li · ‎10-15-2024

Hi, @Abhilasha

The driver link I shared to you yesterday should include drivers which supports Zigbee.

But I checked the information in our user manual, it mentioned that:

8 Bring-up of ZigBee on i.MX 8M Mini
This section shows how to bring up ZigBee on i.MX 8M Mini EVK platform.
Note: The 802.15.4 subsystem is only supported on IW612 evaluation board (EVB) with i.MX 8M Mini(8MMINILPD4-EVK@2020) host platform. This section describes the steps to bring up the 802.15.4 interface of NXP-based IW612 module on i.MX 8M Mini platform, and for Zigbee-only mode. Zigbee dual-pan mode is not supported.

So, please make sure whether you are using our I.Mx8M Mini (8MMINILPD4-EVK@2020) host platform.

If not, I worry, it might not support.

Sorry for the inconvenience to you.

Best regards,

Christine.

I've found clarity on the IW612 Bluetooth driver in the Linux kernel, specifically at this link: btnxpuart.c.https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v6.12-rc2/drivers/bluetooth/btnxpuart.c

However, I still haven't located information regarding the Wi-Fi and Zigbee drivers for the IW612. Additionally, I would appreciate any insights on device tree support for these functionalities. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you!
