[88W8997] USB WIFI dongle driver for Windows OS

[isyu]

Hello Sir, 

I will design WIFI USB Dongle with 88W8997. 

(No BT, only use WIFI with USB interface(2.0 or 3.0)) 

In the NXP Web site, I can only find Linux/Android based driver. 

Does it support also Windows(7/10/11) Driver?

- 88W8997 (WIFI=USB, No BT) + Windows Driver

Dear @isyu 

NXP promote PCIe and SDIO interfaces for Wifi, because these interfaces are the ones most of our customers use.So we make SW releases for these interfaces on a very regular basis, and there SW release are available to every customers.

As USB interface is only used by very few customers, NXP make a very few SW releases, and restrict is to selected customers, based on their volumes forecasts.

Hello @ocourson Olivier, 

I appreciate your kindness.

Could you do me one more favor? 

You mentioned that "NXP only supports USB WIFI for very specific customers/cases".

Are there any criteria for applying it?

Dear @isyu 

NXP only support Linux, Android and FreeRTOS hosts for our Wifi/BT chipsets. We have plans to support other RT OSs, but we do not support Windows.
