Software
MAYA-W2 series modules are based on the NXP IW611/IW612 chipsets. The open-source drivers and
firmware required to operate MAYA-W2 series modules are developed by NXP and are already
integrated into the Linux and Android BSP for the NXP i.MX application processors
MCUXpresso SDK for NXP MCU devices
The documentation for NXP software releases contains Wi-Fi and Bluetooth release notes and a list
of supported software features. The driver source code is provided free of charge as open source
under NXP licensing terms. As open-source software, the drivers can be integrated or ported to other
non-NXP based host platforms.
1.3.1
Open-source Linux/Android drivers
The latest version of the Linux/Android driver source code and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth firmware are available
from the following open-source repositories:
•
Wi-Fi driver:
https://github.com/nxp-imx/mwifiex
•
Firmware:
https://github.com/NXP/imx-firmware/
☞
Use the repository branches matching to the latest Linux BSP release version. At the time of
this document publication, this is release 6.1.36_2.1.0.
Yocto recipes for the driver and firmware (nxp-wlan-sdk, kernel-module-nxp-wlan, firmware-nxp-wifi)
are included in the NXP
and
Bluetooth uses the
hci_uart
or
btnxpuart
driver from the Linux kernel and BlueZ host stack. The
OpenThread stack (provided by Google Nest Team) and Matter (Project CHIP) are used for 802.15.4
based applications. NXP provides an OpenThread binary that can be run as a Thread application, or it
can be built from source code.
For further information about initialization and configuration of the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth features, see
also the MAYA-W2 series system integration manual
and NXP User Manual UM11490
