1. I know that i can run WICED can be run on Linux.

2. I wanted to check if WICED is a tool which prodvides  API's to access the various features in CYW943907.

3. After compiling it i presume i will get a downloadable image which can be flashed to CYW943907. If so, what is the OS which runs on CYW943907?

3. Also, i wanted to check is there a way i can run Linux on CYW943907. What features are supported in this case.

You should be able to run linux on 43907 but as of now it only supports WICED driver. If you want to use uC Linux on 43907, we might not be able to help you much in using Linux on 43907. You can choose other wifi chips which support linux from: IoT Solutions Guide

Hi riya,

Could you please explain why i can't run Linux on CYW43907?

From my understanding, CYW43907 has a Cortex R4 which can support uCLinux?

Thanks for your support.
