QNX6.6 imx6 WiFi driver for ublox  
Hi, is some wifi driver available for such patform ?
I've found one for ti-wiLink8, we are evaluating the ublox EMMY-W1xx module,
on data-sheet seens that a qnx driver is available , where I can get it?
Thanks

Re: QNX6.6 imx6 WiFi driver for ublox  
Hi Mario,
I am FAE at QNX. Which chipset is in ublox EMMY-W1xx ? Would you mind providing your company name ? Which QNX version 
you are using ? 
Thanks,
Niraj 
Re: QNX6.6 imx6 WiFi driver for ublox  
Niraj  Thank You very much,
My company is Tecnint HTE, we develops custom hardware solutions and 
in this case we are proposing an imx6 SOM with  QNX6.6 for this project.
Customer needs also wiFi and BT,  one module should be  the  Ublox EMMY-W1 
(Chip Marvell 88W8887), that has a qnx driver (or so it is declared in the data sheet),
so we prefer to use this one, or equivalent, if it is supported.
Any help will be appreciate,
Thanks again

Re: QNX6.6 imx6 WiFi driver for ublox  
Hi Mario,
I think you are based in Italy, right ? Do you know who is your FAE ? I am trying to contact your FAE so that he can 
contact you. Looks like they are gone for holidays. In the meantime, I got some  info/questions from Engineering to get 
more clarification. 

The u-blox EMMY-W1 has a Marvell 8887 chipset in it.  

We do support this for our CSP customers.

Need information such as:
- what is the target platform?  The Marvell 8887 uses an SDIO connection and we currently support on i.mx6
- what features are of interest?  BT and WIFI?  
- WIFI only?  STA mode, AP mode, P2P mode?
- we have an experimental 8887 driver on SDP 6.6.   There is a newer version of the driver/ firmware available on SDP 7.
0.
- I believe we need to ensure an NDA is in place between Marvell and the company in question in order to provide the 
binaries.
- Which interface (SDIO or UART) is used for Bluetooth for Marvell 8887 on ublox EMMY_W1xx?

Please reply these questions at your convenience and your FAE will take over once he comes back.

Thanks,
- Niraj
Re: QNX6.6 imx6 WiFi driver for ublox  
Thanks Niraj,
Yes, I'm based in Italy, and I do not know who is our FAE, if one exist.
We are supported by a local Qnx partner, but it is more a commercial
support than a technical one: they have proposed to me  a full qnx
wireless framework just to have a wi-fi module driver.
For technical questions I use our standard Qnx support or I dig in the ng :-)

- Our platform uses an imx6 SOM, we have an SDIO slot or a mPCIe slot
- We are interested in both features, WiFi and BT (SPP profile only)
  but we can support BT via other dedicated chip that we have already used,
  so BT is not a problem .
- For now, WiFi only. STA/AP/P2P could be used in the future under customer
  request.
- Ok for NDA, if customer agree  with terms.
- We can interface the module via SDIO and UART for BT

Thanks, again
Mario
