First question asked Welcome!

Hello, im researching about nintendo switch wifi/bt issues , i have some info about cyw4356 chip used in console, but in other forums people says this chip must be programmed for working in console, how can i do that, i bought this chip many times but never works, only from donor boards. 

 

sorry for my english.

 

thanks

Hi @Jonathan59 ,  we dont have a procedure to flash with respect to Nintendo switch, but you can  use development and evaluation boards for your testing. 

Example -> https://www.embeddedartists.com/products/1cx-m-2-module/ 

For more details on the driver and getting started you can use the user guide available here -> https://www.infineon.com/dgdl/Infineon-AN232689_-_Wi-Fi_software_user_guide-ApplicationNotes-v01_00-...

and the driver and firmware are available here -> https://community.infineon.com/t5/Wi-Fi-Bluetooth-for-Linux/Cypress-Linux-WiFi-Driver-Release-FMAC-2...

Regards

Vivek.
