First question asked Welcome!

I understand there is extensive support for CYW4373 on Linux/Android on Cortex-M. Would it be possible to make the module work with a Cortex-R5, preferably on bare metal (or possibly with FreeRTOS)? More specifically, our platform is built on Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC XCZU3EG. We will NOT utilize the A53 core at the moment.

Thank you in advance for any input!

Hi,

We don't have any portfolio where the host processor is Cortex-R5 but it'll be possible to have the host processor as Cortex-R5 with 4373 and if the environment is RTOS based, you'll have to port WHD onto the host to establish communication with the radio. You'll have to make sure that driver runs fine on the host.

The following link provides documentation to port WHD onto STM-based MCUs.

Thanks
