NetHub
NetHub
NetHub bridges device-side Wi-Fi capability to a selected host-link backend.
The current solution targets Wi-Fi SoCs such as BL616 / BL618 / BL616CL / BL618DG.
Current Status
| Item | Current status |
|---|---|
| Default interface | SDIO
|
| USB data-path | device-side USB ECM backend implemented
|
| USB control transport | device-side USB ACM transport plumbing implemented
|
| SPI | not implemented |
| USER virtual channel | default interface is SDIO
|
| Low power | currently BL618DG only
|
| Optional ATModule control solution | available, but not mandatory |
Document Guide
Use these documents according to what you need:
| Document | Focus |
|---|---|
| NetHubQuickBringup.md | default interface, main configuration switches, build and flash, SDIO and USB pins |
| NetHubArchitecture.md | internal layering, public APIs, support matrix, and host-link differences |
| NetHubVirtualChannel.md | USER virtual channel scope, prerequisites, APIs, and limits |
Key Points
SDIOis the current default interface and the current in-tree reference path.USBdevice-side backend is implemented withECM + ACM.SPIis still a stub and is not ready for bring-up.nethubcore exposes data-path, control-path, and virtual-channel facades without directly depending onATModule.- The optional
ATModule + bflbwifid + bflbwifictrlflow is available, but it is not required.
