WICED Wi-Fi
Broadcom provides a full-featured WICED Development Kit and is working with partners to deliver turnkey
hardware solutions of various form factors to readily enable Wi-Fi connectivity in system designs. The following
reference WICED boards are available for development and device prototyping:
•
BCM943362WCD4_EVB:
The BCM943362WCD4 SIP module is
mounted on a full-featured USB-based
evaluation and development board that is
fully compatible with the WICED Wi-Fi
Software Development Kit (SDK). The
onboard SIP module leverages the BCM43362
802.11n 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi controller with
integrated antennas and diversity to improve
the quality and reliability of a wireless link,
plus the STM32F205 32-bit ARM
microcontroller.
•
BCM943364WCD1_EVB:
The BCM943364WCD1 SIP module is
mounted on a full-featured USB-based
evaluation and development board that is
fully compatible with the WICED Wi-Fi
Software Development Kit (SDK). Designed
to be a lower cost alternative to the popular
BCM43362, the onboard SIP module
leverages the BCM43364 2.4 GHz WLAN
IEEE 802.11b/g/n MAC/baseband/radio.
In addition, the module integrates a power
amplifier (PA) that meets the output power
requirements of most handheld systems,
a low-noise amplifier (LNA) for best-in-class
receiver sensitivity, and an internal transmit/
receive (iTR) RF switch, further reducing the
overall solution cost and printed circuit board
area. Powered by the STM32F411 32-bit ARM
microcontroller, the board is also provisioned
to support the authentication chip utilized by
Apple’s HomeKit offering.
• BCM943341WCD1_EVB:
The BCM943341WCD1 SIP module is
mounted on a full-featured USB-based
evaluation and development board that is fully
compatible with the WICED Wi-Fi SDK. The
onboard SIP module leverages the BCM43341
single-chip integrated quad-radio (802.11a/b/
g/n Dual-band WLAN/BT/BLE 4.1/FM) and
near-field communications (NFC) with
integrated low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) and
transmit/receive (TX/RX) switches. Powered
by the STM32F407 32-bit ARM
microcontroller, the board is also provisioned
to support the authentication chip utilized by
Apple’s HomeKit offering.
• BCM94343WWCD1_EVB:
The BCM94343WWCD1 SIP module is
mounted on a full-featured USB-based
evaluation and development board that is
fully compatible with the WICED Wi-Fi SDK.
Designed to be a lower cost alternative to the
popular BCM4334X series, the onboard SIP
module leverages the BCM4343W featuring
a 802.11b/g/n MAC/baseband/radio, Bluetooth
4.1 support, and an FM receiver. In addition,
the module integrates a power amplifier (PA)
that meets the output power requirements of
most handheld systems, a low-noise amplifier
(LNA) for best-in-class receiver sensitivity,
and an internal transmit/receive (iTR) RF
switch, further reducing the overall solution
cost and printed circuit board area. Powered
by the STM32F411 32-bit ARM
microcontroller, the board is also provisioned
to support the authentication chip utilized by
Apple’s HomeKit offering.

WICED Wi-Fi
SOFTWARE DEvELOPMENT KIT
The WICED Wi-Fi SDK includes the following:
• An open-source build system and toolchain
based on GNU ‘make’.
• A GUI development environment based on
Eclipse CDT that seamlessly integrates with
a JTAG programmer and single-step, thread-
aware debugger based on OpenOCD and
gdb.
• A comprehensive software stack with a choice
of several RTOS/TCP stack options including
ThreadX/NetX, ThreadX/NetX Duo, and
FreeRTOS/LwIP.
• Advanced security and networking features,
incorporating SSL/TLS, IPv4/IPv6 networking,
and mDNS (Bonjour) device discovery.
• WICED Application Framework incorporating
production-ready features, including
bootloader, flash storage API, over-the-air
(OTA) upgrades, factory reset, and system
monitor.
• Production-ready sample applications and
application snippets that demonstrate how
to use the WICED API feature set, including
examples of Wi-Fi to Bluetooth (BT/BLE)
bridging and Apple HomeKit (requires MFi
license).
• Support for Amazon Web Services (AWS).
• various test applications to aid manufacturing
and certification.
• Full documentation included in the SDK.
