WiFi Module choice for STM32MP15

[diverger]

Hi,

On the DK2 board, there is a LBEE5KL1DX-883 from Murata. But I want to use their LBEE5HY1MW (Type 1MW - LBEE5HY1MW | Wi-Fi® Modules / Wi-Fi® + Bluetooth® Modules | Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.) in my design. But on their site, they only mentions 'NXP I.MX Linux' . As ST has tried 1DX, will 1MW work on ST's Linux distribution? Furthermore, what about other WiFi modules on the market? Is it easy to run them with STM32MP15x?

Thanks.

Hi @diverger​ ,

I can only make a general comment : since Wifi module use SDIO interface and has an up-streamed driver present in OpenSTLinux kernel it should work and be easy to integrate.

H!,

Is there any ST MCU-board that uses a Wi-Fi module which would be relatively easy to integrate to a new PCB-design?

Hardware design is of course thing, but I am also keen of finding an already proven STM32-driver that uses I2C, UART, SPI, that can by used with the HAL-interface to save time in the prototyping. Any hints on this?

Thank in advance

Hi @Lars Sörqvist​ 

I found at least https://www.st.com/en/evaluation-tools/b-l475e-iot01a.html

EDIT : ST no more recommend usage of the wifi module present on this board for new design.

Great, many thanks!

Hi @Lars Sörqvist​ ,

Sorry, see my EDIT in previous comment : the wifi module of b-L475E-IOT1A looks to be obsolete and ST no more recommend to use it in a new design.

Else, you initially ask about MP15, then switch to "ST MCU-board that uses a Wi-Fi module" and with associated HAL drivers and examples.

On MP15 Wifi is only associated to A7/Linux side and so we don't have such HAL driver and examples.

Can you please clarify ?

Thanks

Hi Oliver!

I do apologize if I switched from the aspect of an ST MPU to an ST MCU... I am designing a ST MCU board, thus no Linux.

I jumped into the thread because I am considering a couple of options for a Wi-Fi module and the LBEE5HY1DX/MW is one of them, other considerations could be:

-ISM43362 (I believe is used by ST-board you recommended)

-SPWF01SA21 (previously use by ST-board but now obsolete)

-WizFi360 | WIZnet Document System

-NINA-W10 series (open CPU) | u-blox (also has BLE)

There could be other considerations as well, but I am hoping on a smooth integration with the driver. BLE in the same module would also be nice.

I hope this will clarify

Kind regards

Hi @Lars Sörqvist​ ,

Thanks it's clear.

I recommend you then to create a new post under topics "STM32 MCUs" , "Wifi Modules" and with another title in order to reach skilled community in this domains.

Thanks,

Olivier

Will do, thanks!
