Hello everyone,
I'm working a project that uses wired Ethernet, lwip is working pretty
nice there!
Now we would like to start using wifi as well. We are now searching
for a suitable and cheap wifi module that can be used on the ethernet
level. Given the right drivers it should just operate as a second
netif in lwip.
I would really like to know if anyone has already gone down this path,
and could advice me on the kind of module that works for him/her.
Perhaps an example with working drivers as well?
It depends on which hardware interface you need between your CPU and the
radio module.
You can have a look at :
- ConnectBlue
- RedPine
- Silex America
And many others.
I contacted ConnectBlue many years ago for a project using a PowerPC
CPU. ConnectBlue delivered support only for little endian CPUs. It might
have change since then.
At that time, I have chosen a RedPine module. I can't tell you if the
module is ok. The project died before I work on this. I can only tell
you that support is from India and this not easy to communicate with
indian people.
I am currently working on a project using a Silex module (wifi +
bluetooth). The module is interesting. I have not written the driver
(the OS used is QNX Neutrino on this project). There is no driver for
lwip. I am not sure one can get the information to write the driver.
From my experience, I'll recommend RedPine today. Simple to setup (SPI
link), quite well documented, not too expensive.
Regards,
Nicolas
Thanks in advance!
Simon
