Interfacing the DM365 to a wireless card

Suppose I need to interface TI DM365 to a WLAN card,

which interface(s) can I use? I prefer mini-PCI, but it seems

DM365 does not support mini-PCI, correct?

 

I checked the DM365 manual, and it looks like it use SDIO to interface

to wireless. Can we use USB to interface to wireless?

    This is true, the DM365 has no PCI interface, in general the solutions I have seen have been through either USB or SDIO using off the shelf WiFi solutions. The easiest way today would probably be to use a USB based WiFi solution, as SDIO support on the DM365 may not be around for some time, until a newer kernel support package is released. In general the USB WiFi driver would be provided by the manufacturer or could possibly be included in the kernel already, though I have not seen any particular WiFi adapters used on the DM365 to recommend there was a Belkin model used in this wiki article on prior Davinci devices.

    Thanks for the reply and information. I have either a mini-PCI or PCI wifi card. Can I use the PCI-USB adapter to interface to the WiFi card with the DM365?

    I have not come across such an adapter to provide a PCI slot from a USB interface, however this should be possible, though it will likely require additional driver development as it sounds like a somewhat unique configuration, in general the more standard your setup is the more likely it will work easily.
