Hello TI Support Team,

I am working with the NXP i.MX93 EVK running the Matter demo image (Q4 2024). The kernel on my board is:

I want to integrate the M2-CC3351 Wi-Fi/BLE module with this board.

Currently:

The kernel does not load a cc33xx module by default.
I have tried the TI CC33XX-LINUX-MPU .run installer, but it is an x86 binary and cannot be executed on the ARM-based i.MX93 board.

I am requesting:

Access to ARM-compatible driver modules (prebuilt .ko) for my kernel version, or guidance on building the driver for aarch64.
The required firmware files (*.bin) for CC33xx to be loaded from /lib/firmware/ti/cc33xx/.
Any device tree overlays or sample DTS fragments required for M2-CC3351 integration on the i.MX93 EVK (SDIO + GPIO configuration).
Recommended steps for easy configuration and bring-up on the i.MX93 Matter demo image.

Providing these resources will help us validate and integrate the CC3351 module quickly without cross-compilation issues.

Thank you for your support!

Hello,

We don't have prebuilt binaries available for the NXP i.mx93. You must build the binaries from our source code.

This is an executable targeted for x86 devices. It is an installer that contains the driver and cc33xx firmware binaries necessary for you to use with the CC33xx device. You can compile the kernel patch for your IMX MPU. Essentially, this x86 binary is the CC33xx Linux SDK.

I suggest you take a look at our documentation. Which you can find in the docs folder of the x86 installer or you can find a preview of it here:

https://dev.ti.com/tirex/nodeContent?node=A__AJUoLS-n3ym8ZWNoNdgAQw__CC33XX-LINUX-MPU__lBDUdCJ__LATEST

Here you can find example DTS in the migration guide, as well as how to port to kernel 6.6.

We also have example DTS for imx93 here:
