WiFi Module Question

JMitt

Hi All,

I want to connect a WiFi module to the AM335x. Throughput is important because video content will be streamed to/from a server.

After researching the topic it looks like WL18xx and WL12xx are popular choices.

1) What is the difference between the two?

2) Is there an advantage in using one over the other?

3) Is there an alternate WiFi module you recommend to use?

Cheers

Hi,

I would recommend you to take a look at the below pages

wl12xx: processors.wiki.ti.com/.../WL127x
wl18xx: processors.wiki.ti.com/.../WL18xx

wl18xx is the latest from TI, and is preferred.

Regards,
Gigi Joseph

Helloo,

Just to add on top of Gigi's response
TI will not support new projects with WL12xx, only existing or next generation products.
There for, if that is a new product, you can use WL18xx.
