BCM43362 support - possible ?
I have a client who is quite enthralled by some BCM43362-based modules and wants to use them with a Free operating system (probably FreeRTOS, but Linux may be a possibility as well, and even more so as an intermediate development step). This chip is from the WICED series.
As far as I can tell, the BCM43362 is not supported by Linux at the moment and hasn't even been mentioned in that context. So I wonder whether the existing brcmfmac driver could be made to work with the BCM43362 or whether there are major technical or licensing issues.
If necessary, I wouldn't mind helping (in a few weeks) to get that chip to work under Linux.
Thanks !

WICED doesn't say much. Is that full mac device?

I don't know. What about asking brcmfmac developers?

Yes, as far as I can tell (public information on it is scarce), it's a FullMAC with an SDIO interface.

Oh, I see. I thought b43* and b43-legacy were the only branches of that tree. Sorry about that.
