The readme.txt in SDK 2.3.1 states

"Hardware Platforms

* BCM9WCD1EVAL1  : Bare WCD1 WICED evaluation board (generic module)

* BCM943362WCD2  : Broadcom 43362-based WICED Module with STM32F103 MCU mounted on BCM9WCD1EVAL1

* BCM943362WCD4  : Broadcom 43362-based WICED Module with STM32F205 MCU mounted on BCM9WCD1EVAL1

* BCM943362WCD6  : Broadcom 43362-based WICED Module with STM32F415 MCU mounted on BCM9WCD1EVAL1

* BCM943362WCD8  : Broadcom 43362-based WICED Module with ATSAM4S16B MCU mounted on BCM9WCD1EVAL1"

To fit the description [i.e. "Broadcom 43362-based WICED Module with STM32F205 MCU mounted on BCM9WCD1EVAL1"] the part number should be "BCM943362WCD4_EVB"

Can this be updated please.

Thanks,

Phil

SOFTWARE:

The platform name refers to the platform used in the SDK.

BCM943362WCD4 is a WICED module with STM32F205 + BCM43362.

Since the module can not effectively be programmed standalone, Broadcom ships the module together with an eval board as a single platform.

The platform name thus refers to the module (shipped with the eval board).

e.g. to build the scan app for this platform, use : snip.scan-BCM943362WCD4-ThreadX-NetX-SDIO

HARDWARE:

The module can be purchased separately to the eval board.

The module P/N is BCM943362WCD4

The eval board P/N is BCM9WCD1EVAL1

The module on an eval board P/N is BCM943362WCD4_EVB

Its not a perfect scheme, but hopefully its understandable.
