Where to find Wi-Fi Software Drivers
NXP Recommends using Wi-Fi source code drivers available from GitHub based on the following decisions:
Software Drivers NXP Processor
Linux software drivers on NXP host processor (i.MX6, 7, 8 or 9)
- Driver: GitHub - nxp-imx/mwifiex: WiFi extensions
- Radio firmware: GitHub - nxp-imx/imx-firmware
Pre-built binary demo files for each quarterly BSP release are available here:
- Linux: Embedded Linux for i.MX Applications Processors | NXP Semiconductors
- Android: Android OS for i.MX Applications Processors | NXP Semiconductors
Software Drivers NXP Microcontrollers
RTOS software drivers on NXP host processor (MCX, MCU, or i.MX RT)
- Wi-Fi driver: GitHub - NXP/wifi_nxp: NXP Wi-Fi driver and networking utilities
- Bluetooth middleware: GitHub - nxp-mcuxpresso/mcux-sdk-middleware-edgefast-bluetooth: EdgeFast Bluetooth PAL
Software Drivers Non-NXP Processor
Non-nxp host processor with Linux or Android
- Driver: GitHub - nxp-imx/mwifiex: WiFi extensions
- Radio firmware: GitHub - nxp-imx/imx-firmware
Software Drivers Non-NXP Microcontrollers
Non-nxp host MCU RTOS
In addition to GitHub, RTOS drivers are available on NXP web site and as an Open CMSIS Pack from ARM:
