As to CYW4373E SoftAP mode, is it possible to acquire the certification for the WFA (Wi-Fi Alliance) WAP3-Personal R3 ?

[PeterC]

Hi Infineon,

We do have a prj that planned to use CYW4373E (USB type) to work out the Wi-Fi AP feature, and the one of the mandatory is to  acquire the Wi-Fi Alliance(WFA) WPA3-Personal certification for AP mode. so the question is :

 1. We saw the data sheet of CYW4373E to show that it's to support WPA3-personal. but it doesn't show that it's to support for STA or AP mode, so the question : Is it to mean that CYW4373E supports WPA3-Personal features for AP mode ? or only to support for STA mode ? or both ? any comment ?

2. As the data sheet of CYW4373E to show that it's to support WPA3 personal, and the latest SPEC of WPA3-Personal is R3. so the question : Is the present CYW4373E supporting up to R3 ? or only R2 or earlier ? or or any comment ?

3. Is the present FW/SW/tool of CYW4373E ok to pass the test of WPA3-Personal R3 for AP mode ? if it's, can you show us where it's to download the FW/SW/tool ? or any comment ?

Thanks,

PeterC

Hi @PeterC , 

The latest firmware support for WPA3-R1 & WPA3-R3 in both STA as well as AP.
Driver and software releases that support WPAR3&R1 can be downloaded at the following link ->   https://community.infineon.com/t5/Wi-Fi-Bluetooth-for-Linux/Cypress-Linux-WiFi-Driver-Release-FMAC-2...

You can use hostapd or wpa_supplicant to configure wpa3 on AP or STA

Hope this helps
regards
Vivek.

Hi Vivek,

 many thanks for the link, and just want to confirm if the package you provided is sufficient to pass the Wi-Fi Alliance WAP3-Personal R3 @ AP mode, that means the package is ok to acquire the WFA certified ? or NOT ?

Thanks,

Hi @PeterC , for certification you might require to put the device in test mode. The test requires a special firmware called "MFG" or "manufacturing" firmware & .clm_blob files, these files have to be provided by the module vendor. example Murata Can you please contact your module vendor for these files?

Hi Vivek,

got the point, and will contact our vendor for it.

Thanks,
