uart_wifi_bridge

Overview

uart_wifi_bridge

Supported Boards

• MIMXRT1060-EVKB

• MIMXRT1170-EVKB

• MIMXRT1060-EVKC

• FRDM-RW612

• RD-RW612-BGA

FW download support monolithic

• The compilation of uart_wifi_bridge is enabled monolithic by default.

• How to use release mfg FW with non-monolithic configuration:

  • Change the monolithic macro from cmake For [RD-RW612-BGA] board mcuxsdk/examples/_boards/rdrw612bga/wifi_examples/uart_wifi_bridge/reconfig.cmake For [FRDM-RW612] board mcuxsdk/examples/_boards/rdrw612bga/wifi_examples/uart_wifi_bridge/reconfig.cmake Set CONFIG_MONOLITHIC_WIFI from 1 to 0.

  • Then uart_wifi_bridge build will not link FW, need to load FW separatly.

• How to use release mfg FW with monolithic configuration:

  • Covert FW from .bin to .inc Copy the FW to mcuxsdk/components/conn_fwloader/fw_bin/ Rename the FW: rw61x_sb_ble_15d4_combo_a2.bin for CPU2 combo FW, rw61x_sb_ble_a2.bin for CPU2 single ble FW, rw61x_sb_wifi_a2.bin for CPU1 wifi FW Use mcuxsdk/components/conn_fwloader/fw_bin/script/wlan_gen_fw_incs.py to convert FW to inc files Under mcuxsdk/components/conn_fwloader/fw_bin folder: Run python script “python script/wlan_gen_fw_incs.py” The inc files will generate at mcuxsdk/components/conn_fwloader/fw_bin/inc and replace the origin inc files automatically.

  • Compile uart_wifi_bridge with enabled monolithc macro by default. Then uart_wifi_bridge build and link FW to a monolithic image, no need to load FW separatly.
