Re: [lwip-users] Advice on wifi module
Hi Sergio, Murata, Microchip and all other readymade modules are a bit expensive. Around 30-45$... Some time ago I have searched for such module and finally we chose ROVING RN-171... They may have a newer one, now. ROVING module was also around $29 for small quantities but after talking with their representative they were willing to drastically go down on price if we take large quantities (1K and more). ROVING have a full TCP stack on their module + ability to write some code under their own micro. The second option is using the module in PASS THROUGTH mode via fast RS232 920Kbit or something. In this mode one can configure the WiFi and then send/get data over this serial connection. This is good for small systems that does not need to send lots of data.

Hi, On 4.8.2017 19:30, u123 wrote: Hello all, we are in the same situation and we have the same question but 4 years later... Are there new ideas and/or solutions? I have been using MXCHIP EMW3165 modules with LwIP. Those modules have Cypress Semiconductor CYW43362 (previously broadcom BCM43362) wifi chip on them. The WICED SDK for those no longer has LwIP, but it is possible to use only wifi driver layer from it with any stack. Module costs only $4.49, and one gets a STM32 + flash chip on it too. There is also a ready-made breakout board for prototyping called "WifiMCU", for about $10. I have a couple of those modules running with LwIP 2.0.2, they work very well. If I remember correctly there are other modules using the same wifi chip, but they are more expensive and don't include application MCU. But those might be useful if you want to use something else than STM32 on this module. The stuff I use to build the driver from SDK is here: https://github.com/AriZuu/wiced-driver in case someone is interested. LwIP driver source is in wlan_if.c.

Re: [lwip-users] Advice on wifi module
Hello, I personally prefer connectone modules because some of them have the RMII interface. I would avoid modules not allowing passing raw ethernet frames because they have only tcp/ip v4 inside (most of them). In the future with the IP v6 it could be a problem and also if you want to implement your own ethernet based protocol.

Hello, Le 09/12/2013 16:33, Simon Koudijs | Intellifi a écrit : 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.

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!
