Why did you remove the wifi module from the STM32MP157D-DK1 board?

[ARodr.18]

I am testing with a STM32MP157D-DK1 board with the goal of developing a custom board later. The board is useful to test everything I need except for the WIFI module. I have seen that in the page it seems that before a WLAN and bluethoot module was installed, but in the test board that I have it is not installed, and in the schematics of the board this module seems to have been removed, and the only thing that is seen is that it says DNF. What was the reason for removing the WIFI module? It did not get to work properly? On the other hand, if I replicate the circuit on a custom board can I make it work or would I have to integrate another module. In fact, is it in itself possible to incorporate the WIFI in the first place?

I would appreciate to know the answers and decisions that were taken when removing the module.

Hi @ARodr.18 

There is two boards having different Bill of Material:
