TMS320C5535: C5535/C5545 eZdsp USB Stick Development Kit compatibility with wireless interface

Part Number: TMS320C5535

I am starting a project using digital signal processing (audio effects processing) that involves having a DSP board communicate with another board wirelessly. The DSP board will not need to transmit audio over the wireless connection, only small packets of data to and from a control unit.

I want to use the C5535/C5545 eZdsp development kit (http://www.ti.com/tool/tmdx5535ezdsp) to perform the signal processing as it fits the requirements of the project, however I want to make sure that it will be compatible with a wireless communication interface before I commit to using it for the project.

Looking at the Technical Reference document for the C5535, it seems it has the ability to connect to a wireless interface using the P1 and P3 connections. The two 20-pin connectors (P1 & P3) looks to be specific to certain wireless modules. After looking into it I couldn't find much information on the connector itself, but apparently the PAN1323 Bluetooth Evaluation Module Kit (https://store.ti.com/PAN1323EMK-PAN1323-Bluetooth-Evaluation-Module-Kit-P2702.aspx) can connect to it. However that kit is out of my price range for this project.

I would like to use a small module such as the ESP8266 WiFi Module (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13678). Would the C5535 be able to communicate with a device such as this using some of the pins in the P1 and P3 wireless interface connectors, maybe using the SPI or I2C pins?

I know there is also a 60-pin expansion connector on the board with some GPIO pins, could those possibly be used to communicate with a small wireless module?

I'm open to suggestions on any options I have to implement this project. If anyone knows of any small, low-cost wireless modules that are compatible with the P1 & P3 connectors I would greatly appreciate the help.
