I am interested in WL1807MOD chip because of its functions like MESH and Time Synchronization. I have a few questions:
- Regarding the WiLInk8 modules for comparison: (: https://www.ti.com/assets/js/compareParts/compare.html?familyId=1625&parts=WL1837MOD,WL1835MOD,WL1831MOD,WL1807MOD,WL1805MOD,WL1801MOD&cols=o1,p2192,p1130,p3053,p1694,p2792,p3232,p3067,p3055,p1697,p1480,p367,p3052max,p3274,p1803,p1219,p1498,p886,p3050,p1192,o4&lang=en
Please confirm which modules listed (1837, 1825, 1831, 1807, 1805 and 1801) are compatible with the TI Wi-Fi Mesh protocol AND precise time synchronization feature?
- What is the firmware version that is supporting the above functionalities? Where I can obtain it? Are the chips delivered with some firmware version?
- If I want to buy modules that incorporate the TI WLink8 modules (for example: https://wireless.murata.com/type-xr.html) will I be able to upgrade this specific module with appropriate firmware version in order to use the mesh functionalities described above?
- Can you recommend any other third party modules with Wl1807MOD so I can integrate it into my embedded device?
- What is the procedure for firmware upgrade? Are the Wilnk8 modules supporting OTA firmware upgrade?
- I would like to use my custom MQTT communication protocol using the WL1807MOD chip. Please confirm this?
- What is the bandwidth and speed of data? My applicaiton requires ~5KB of data per second per module in a Wi-Fi mesh network of ~30 modules.
- How to obtain free-RTOS drivers for this chip? I have read that Clarinox are producing those drivers but they have astronomical prices that are intended for large companies.
Thank you,
