Yes, the WICED SDK works with Linux.
This link may be useful:
Re: Need Linux driver support for WICED eval board
Overview
The 7zip version of the SDK can be used with Linux (but this version does not include the Eclipse IDE like the Windows installer version).
Unzip the SDK with 7zip on Linux.
We dont have nicely wrapped up instructions for Linux install.
Rough instructions follow...
Non-Root USB access in Linux
Ubuntu Linux only allows access to USB devices by super-users by default.
To enable normal users to access USB, as is required to load WICED boards, create a file called 67-wiced-JTAG.rules with the following text and put it in /etc/udev/rules.d/
(Tested in Ubuntu 10.04)
# udev rules file for WICED USB JTAG interface, to allow use by non super-users SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0a5c", ATTR{idProduct}=="43fa", GROUP="hwlab", MODE="0666"
WICED USB Serial port in Linux
WICED evaluation boards use a FTDI chip which provides UART-over-USB functionality.
WICED boards have a custom VID/PID, hence are not identified as a FTDI virtual com port by Linux.
To load the driver when using the BCM9WCD1EVAL1 board, issue the following command:
sudo modprobe ftdi_sio vendor=0x0a5c product=0x43fa
The serial port will be available on /dev/ttyUSB1 (provided other ttyUSB devices are not already present in the system)
GLIBC version in Linux
The toolchain is currently compiled for glibc-2.11 : Works fine with recent versions of Ubuntu etc but many of the extremely old versions of Redhat in use by WLAN will not work.
Linux 64 Bit support
The SDK toolchain is compiled for 32 bit Linux. To run it on a 64 bit machine, you’ll need to get the ia32-libs package.
