Bit of a tangential question this, but I know there are folk on here who are much more conversant with the way NuttX can be used with WiFi and Bluetooth modules than I am.
I may have an opportunity forced on me to have to respin my custom board which currently has a SiLabs Bluetooth SoC as well as the main SAMA5D2 processor. I used that module as I already have experience of it - but that predates my NuttX journey. I see there are some very good value combined WiFi + Bluetooth modules now (Espressif for example...and I know there's a well-known proponent of those devices here lol) and, having seen a few other questions here, I am thinking that I can go the HCI route and make use of the Bluetooth Stack in NuttX: and add WiFi capability to my board at the same time. Winner! I'm hoping I can program up a suitable module with generic radio co-processor software (HCI I think, and whatever is needed for WiFi) and access it via UART from my main processor and have it all under the NuttX system in a much more easily managed manner than a separate app on the SiLabs SoC that just happens to communicate on some way with my main app on the SAMA5D2. Have I got this right? Is an Espressif module a good choice (email me direct if you want to !!)? Thanks, Tim. ------ t...@jti.uk.com
