DRA821U: Wi-Fi 6 or 7 as Access Point

Darren Jenkins

Part Number: DRA821U
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TDA4VM

Tool/software:

Processors team,

Do we have any reference designs that show the DRA821U being used as a Wi-Fi Access Point with many clients at high bandwidth? The expectation is that the Wi-Fi radio is connected over PCIe. It is not a CC33xx type of application.

Thanks,
Darren

Hello,

I am not aware of any reference design using this MCU/MPU and our Wi-Fi portfolio.

Hi AB and Alan,

The question is not about our Wi-Fi portfolio. The question is about implementing any Wi-Fi solution to create a Wi-Fi Access Point over PCIe.

Thanks,
Darren

A more detailed answer has been given offline.

Here's a link to a WiFi solution using PCIe with the TDA4VM EVM. It is not WiFi 6, but may still be useful for someone reading this thread in the future.
