NXP Arduino WiFi and BT Shield

Overview

The NXP Arduino WiFi/BT shield provides WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity using NXP wireless SOC modules in Arduino form factor for MCXN based platforms.

Supported Shields

This shield supports the following configurations:

  • nxp_arduino_aw510_wifi_bt: Arduino WiFi/BT Shield with AW510 module (IW416)

Requirements

  • Azurewave AW510 module

  • UART interface for Bluetooth HCI

  • SDIO interface for WiFi

Connections and IOs

The shield uses the following interfaces:

  • UART for Bluetooth HCI communication

  • SDIO for WiFi communication

  • GPIO for control signals (reset, power, wakeup)

Programming

Set --shield <option> to one of the shield designators shown below when building your application:

  • nxp_arduino_aw510_wifi_bt: For Wi-Fi/Bluetooth samples to work with NXP IW416 SoC

For example:

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b frdm_mcxn947/mcxn947/cpu0 --shield nxp_arduino_aw510_wifi_bt samples/bluetooth/peripheral_hr
