Please check WICED documentation and forum instead of WICED Smart.  Note that BCM20702 chip which is installed on BCM9WCDPLUS114 is a dual mode Bluetooth 4.0 HCI controller and WICED Smart SDK will not work to program it.  WICED SDK has a SmartBridge sample/demo code which you will need to use for development.

Thats what I want.

I dont care whether WICED Smart SDK can work on BCM20702 or not. If BCM20702 is preload firmware before shipment, I think I can use a micro-controller, like PLUS114s STM32, to interact with it through UART, then make it work as master.

Is the BCM9WCDPLUS114 a Broadcom Evaluation Board?  Im not familiar with this board and the part numbering scheme doesnt match our normal convention.  Did you prchase it from a local distributor?

Ok, this is the SmartBridge reference design.  I will check to see if only the BCM20702 portion of the design is available for purchase.  I dont think its possible to just purchase that module, but will check.

How many of these would you need?

can you provide evaluation board schematic, PCB source files , evaluation version firmware for me?

Schematics for all evaluation boards are found in the ~Wiced-SDK/platforms/BCM9xxxx directory.

The SDK includes all firmware that is needed for the platform.

I'm not sure "why" PCB source files are not provided.5-16-2014 12-14-34 PM.png
