WIFI ON TMS320C5515

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C5515

Hi,

Can any processor with a SDMMC port be configured to interface  WIFI..? Or there are features of the processor such as speed that determines it..?

If yes then can you please guide me on them ?

 I have a TMS320C5515 with MMC0 port being utilized by sdcard interface. I would like to replace that and include a WIFI interface into the module. Is C5515 compatible enough to support the WIFI?

Thanks and Regards,

-Santosini

    Although some manufacturers make WiFI radios with an SDIO interface, I almost guarantee you would have develop the software stack to support it yourself, a rather significant undertaking.

     I have had a lot of luck with prebuilt WiFI modules.  They have the entire software stack on board, and you talk to them via the UART.  Then your application reduces to transmitting your data, instead of implementing protocols.

    So can I conclude that ANY processor with a SDIO/SDMMC port can be configured to be used for WiFi by providing the necessary software stack and protocols..?

    I suppose you could conclude that.  Of course, the same thing could be said for any processor with 6 GPIO pins.  Any protocol can be 'bit-banged' with enough determination.

     What is possible and what is practical are two very different things.
