Wi-Fi Direct on BCM943341WCD1 w/3.3.1

[Anonymous]

The 3.3.1 SDK readme mentions the following restrictions:

* Platform Restrictions:

       BCM943341WCD1

         - Wi-Fi Direct not support

         - SPI bus not supported

Are there plans to add support for Wi-Fi Direct and SPI in a future release?

Hey msmithson,

Yes we may address the restrictions in the future releases of the SDK.

Thanks for showing interest.

Best Regards,

Any updates on this ?

If not, which dev kit should I purchase that supports Wifi-Direct.

Use cases I want to demo :

- ability to configure the device with a name/serial number using an Android app

- ability to toggle GPIOs from the cloud

- ability to send peer to peer data between 2 devices.
