Hi,

So, as best I can tell the Wiced SDK runs entirely on the host MCU. There are references to firmware but as far as I can tell it's "upload the blob" and nothing else.

Is this right? How can I develop apps that run directly on the BCM43362 or can that not be done? Is the source for the firmware at least available?

Thanks,

Dave

Your understanding is correct and you cannot run any code on the BCM43362 nor is the source code of the Wi-Fi firmware available.

Hi,

Applications run on the MCU connected to the BCM43362.

Wiced SDK supports multiple MCU paired with BCM43362. ThreadX and FreeRTOS are integrated to the Wiced SDK along with NetX, NetX_Duo and LwIP libraries.

BCM43362 is the WiFi radio + SDIO.
