Using ATWINC1500 with Raspberry Pi
June 18, 2024, 00:23
Hey everyone, I made a small HAT for the raspberry pi. It has an ATWINC1500 WiFi module. Any idea as to how to make it show up in ifconfig as a normal wifi interface? I've tried the WiFi101 libraries but ofc since they're intended for arduino, there's no makefile
First find the documentation for the HAT.
You mean for the wifi module?
No the HAT !
I made it 😆unfortunately I chose an obscure wifi module
Ohh I missed that detail, see it now 😉 My bad.
As I see there are no ATWINC1500 kernel driver available.
So I gotta write my own, right?
Adafruite have a Youtube about it 8 years ago or so
They have 2 pretty long videos, would you know if it's the streamed one or the normal one
edit - my bad they're both streamed
Also thanks for pointing me to the video I hadn't noticed it
I think it is the streamed, I didn't know they have a second one
yeah they have one with like 3 people and a desktop environment showcasing code or something and one that's more of a tutorial format
I'll just skim through both i guess
But as it is quite old it can be a challenge as Linux has evolved a lot since then
That's true
It's better than me having to write drivers from scratch though
