STM32 tcp/ip lwip over Wifi

Hi all,

I am looking for wireless tcp/ip solutions using STM32 and on ST's site I have only found STM32 with LWIP stack using wired ethernet.

I have looked alos on Wifi modules available in the net and I have made the choice to use modules without tcp/ip stack inside (the stack is available on host MCU). For instance, the SN8000 module provided by Murata.

Now that I have made the hardware choice (SN8000) I am not sure if it is possible to port LWIP stack to Wifi. Isn't it? At first glance, I have only to change the low layer driver. Is that true?

What makes me confused is that some references on web speak about wifi stack. What does that mean?

Hi all,

I have just got the confirmation from a colleague who has worked on the subject and he confirmed me that I have to develop the hardware driver and I can get lwip running over wifi.

Regarding the term ''wifi stack'' I didn't get an answer.

Best regards
