Our new dual band WiFi/bluetooth module
Posted: Wed Dec 07, 2016 10:12 pm
Hi All,
We are a small Australian company, who recently worked with a Broadcom partner to develop a module that runs:
- a ST Micro STM32F205RG Arm micro
- a USI BM-13 SIP module (http://www.usish.com/english/products_wm_ban_bm_13.php) which has a Broadcom BCM43341 combo chip in it.
It's packaged very similarly to the EMW3162 (https://www.seeedstudio.com/EMW3162-WiF ... -2122.html#) and is mostly pin compatible.

This gives us dual band WiFi plus Bluetooth, running on the Cypress (formerly Broadcom) WICED platform (http://www.cypress.com/internet-things-iot)
We created this primarily for use inside our other products, but are now considering making it a separate product for sale.
Dual band WiFi and Bluetooth puts it a fair way ahead of most other IoT products, like the ESP8266.
The WICED SDK is mature and well featured, supporting:
- choice of LwIP, NetX, NetX_Duo, or no TCP/IP stack
- choice of FreeRTOS, ThreadX, or no RTOS
- over the air firmware updates (our module has 8MB flash memory to support this)
- extensive library of drivers (audio, bluetooth, flash etc), protocols (DNS, HTTP, SMTP, Xively etc), daemons (DHCP server, HTTP server, tftp etc)
We would like to get a port of Micropython going on this module. Probably keeping it running on the WICED platform, but running Mpy in an RTOS thread.
We would like to reach out to the community to see if anyone is interested in helping out with the port. We will provide free hardware.
Please post here your expression of interest.
Thanks for reading.
