Enabling Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Connectivity in an Embedded Design Using Linux
This class demonstrates enabling Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity into an embedded design. Microchip’s Wireless System-On-Module (WLSOM) is based on MPU integrated with Wi-Fi/BLE combo Link controller, targeted to reduce time to market by simplifying hardware design and software development. (November 2024)
Wireless connectivity is crucial for IoT applications, from end nodes and gateways to the cloud. Wi-Fi is increasingly preferred for internet connectivity, while Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is ideal for low-power, short-range communication for sensors. This class will teach you how to enable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity in an embedded design powered by a Linux environment.
Using Microchip’s Wireless System-On-Module (WLSOM), which features an MPU integrated with a Wi-Fi/BLE combo link controller, this class aims to reduce time to market by simplifying hardware design and software development. Attendees will receive hands-on experience in:
- Interfacing a sensor with our host controller
- Setting up Wi-Fi and BLE interfaces using the SAMA5D27-WLSOM1 EK evaluation board
- Establishing connections and exchanging data using these interfaces
By the end of the class, participants will be equipped with practical skills to implement wireless connectivity in their IoT projects.
