    You would need to use a wireless connectivity cape with BBB.

    Hello Mohit,

    NOTE: This is a copied response of my answer from your more recent related question. I think it might be useful for anyone else landing on this page. 

    Thanks for using the E2E forums! If I understand correctly you are trying to use a BeagleBone Black to interface with theWL1837MODCOM8I board. That is not a recommended configuration. The BeagleBone Black is intended to be used with a cape while the WL1837MODCOM8I is intended to be used with our AM335x/AM437x/AM57x EVMs or a custom board. The BeagleBone Black uses the AM335x processor. 

    Here is are two capes for the BeagleBone Black that use our WL1837 chip:

    It is generally recommended that a linux machine be used to begin development here is the link to the WiLink8 Linux Getting Started Guide. This should help you get up and running with your BeagleBone.  

     

    I hope that helps!
