Hello Team
We are considering to make JTAG device such as USB-TINY-H for our mass-production process,
So we have reviewed the WICED reference circuit for FT2232HQ-TRQY chipset.
But I understand that the FT2232 chipset require to update image in order to using WICED USB JTAG.
Is it correct? Would you please let me know how to update or how to do?
Thank you
Daniel

From the WiFi FAQ doc, it's mentioned that currently the SDK supports MCUs from ST, Atmel and Freescale but that the support for additional vendors is in progress. Is there any plan to support Cortex-M3 MCUs from NXP? Or would it be possible to take the current SDK and port the WiFi stack to run on NXP devices (re-map the peripherals connections or simply call the WiFi related APIs in a transparent mode)? Or any other hint to use an SN8000 from Murata and the WiFi stack embedded in an NXP MCU?
Show LessHi, I'd like to know which target in the Wiced SDK is the default program on the board, Please help.
Here is the terminal message dumping:
Platform BCM943362WCD4 initialised
Started FreeRTOS v7.1.0
Starting LwIP v1.4.0.rc1
Started LwIP
Starting Wiced v1.2.DEVELOPMENT
Console app
Thanks.
Show LessHi,
Is there a document outlining the development philosophy behind the Wiced API?
For example if I want to create a new thread, can I do it from anywhere? or do I have to do it from application_start?
Can I call the threadX API directly? or do I have to use the wrapper proviced by Wiced?
Thanks
Show LessBuilt on Broadcom’s WICED™ platform, intelligent Wi-Fi module is the ideal solution to command the “Internet of Things”.
Los Gatos, CA - April 15th 2014 – ACKme Networks, a provider of intelligent wireless products and embedded modules, with offices in Silicon Valley and Sydney Australia has released its first product the AMW004 “Wallaby” cloud-connected Wi-Fi module for seamless connection of devices to the “Internet of Things” (IoT).
ACKme Networks’ first product, a fully certified and intelligent 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi module, is built on Broadcom’s WICED™ (Wireless Internet Connectivity for Embedded Devices) platform. Wallaby is a feature-packed embedded wireless solution that runs WiConnect, a firmware application that significantly extends the capabilities of WICED while simultaneously reducing the effort required to integrate wireless connectivity by several orders of magnitude. Simply put, the ACKme solution vastly reduces time to market and eliminates expensive development costs and delays.
WiConnect, an intelligent embedded software application provides seamless Internet connectivity with a reliable and easy-to-use serial interface perfectly suited for use by machines and humans alike. WiConnect includes an on-board TCP/IP networking stack and feature-rich libraries offering advanced secure network services together with cloud connectivity that simplifies the linking of devices to the Internet at the end-user application level.
Mike Conrad, CEO of ACKme and previously founder of Roving Networks explained, “Consumerswant to be connected to their products, but designers are faced with the complexities of RF hardware, software layers, security complexities, Internet protocols and cloud services. ACKme is focused on simplifying and optimizing the entire end-to-end connectivity solution.”
“The ACKme team has a proven track record of enabling the design of wireless solutions to quickly and efficiently create internet connected devices” says Brian Bedrosian, Sr. Director of Broadcom’s Embedded Wireless business, “We are excited to work with such a capable and nimble team.”
The Wallaby module is a fully-certified, low-power 802.11 b/g/n solution that includes ACKme’s WiConnect intelligent internet connectivity software. The module, which can be connected via UART or SPI to even the simplest of microcontrollers, includes timers, sensor peripherals, various low power modes for battery powered devices and even a file system for data caching and on-module storage.
The AMW004 Wallaby module is available through the ACKme store (www.ack.me) and its distribution channels.
Pricing for the Wallaby development environment is $82 USD; modules are priced based on volume.
Further information can be found on ACKme Networks’ website; http://www.ack.me

Hi All,
If i try to join a AP (e.g., my home router) with wrong password, i will still see log reporting that the join was successful but ofcourse it won't be able to obtain correct IP address. The problem is that i'm not sure what are the best way to determine if it's wrong password or other issues... If i request an IP address I will still get some value such as 32.0.2.1... However, i can't use this as criteria to determine if it's wrong password. Can anyone share how to properly determine if its wrong password or something else after WICED join network? thanks in advance.
Show LessHi,
We are interested in SmartBridge functionality in WICED.
Checked the forum and it seems there are two different kind of EVBs (BCM9WCD1BRIDGE_1 and BCM9WCDPLUS114) suitable for evaluating this feature, however the information available is very limited for us to make further judgment.
What are their differences? Which board would be recommended to start with?

Show LessHi,
I am using WICED BCM943362WCD4 and SDK-2.4.0. I want the board to get a static ip from the access point it is connecting to. It is in STA mode. Please help me in this regard.
Thanks.
Show LessHi,
I am using STM32F4Discovery Wi-Fi kit which contains Broadcom's BCM43362 Wi-Fi chip. I need to set-up the development environment for the board in Linux. Can you provide me the assistance for setting up an IDE and burning code into it. I am using Ubuntu OS. All softwares which they have provided are for Windows.
Thanks.
Show LessHello,
We are going to use Murata's (SN820X or Type YD-Certified) module in our home-automation device.
We are service based company and we provide end to end solution to our client for their product. We have targeted to use this module in our up-coming project which is based on home-automation usecase. Our purpose is to provide high WiFi availability in complete home through single Wi-Fi router, for this we have decided to go with multi-role WiFi module.
BCM43362 is provide both AP and STA mode, SN820X has feature to work BCM43362 in muti-role, which can be useful for us to provide access point to other home appliance which is not in direct range of main WiFi router, so we can connect that home appliance through near most home appliance (which is in contact with WiFi router).
We also has asked query in murata about same, they told us that WICED SDK will provide this feature. We just want to confirm this from you, so we can start our POC (proof of concept) with Murata's (SN820X or Type YD) EVM.
Please provide your valuable feedback, your feedback will be the most decision making feedback for us.
For your kind of information, I would like to add that, our client is expecting to start production of this concept at end of this year, probably 1M unit will be manufactured in first phase.
WE are waiting for your reply.
Thanks,
Prateek.
