Title: Knit - a WiFi breakout which supports Eclipse, gcc and OpenOCD
Post by: anuj on March 14, 2016, 11:20:39 am

Me and a friend are working on a WiFi board called Knit which is a beast, courtesy of the onboard Marvell Semi 88MW300 SoC.
Would love feedback from the community :D

http://makerville.io/knit (http://makerville.io/knit)

Some of the features -
- 32 bit Cortex M4F at 200Mhz
- 512k SRAM
- 4MB flash with Execute in Place support
- ADC, DAC, GPIO, GPT, SSP, I2C, UARTs, etc.

It will be run with the most popular embedded development tools
- FreeRTOS
- Arm GCC toolchain
- OpenOCD debugging
- Eclipse IDE
- lwIP for the IP stack

The SDK is made available on Marvell's GitHub : https://github.com/marvell-iot/aws_starter_sdk (https://github.com/marvell-iot/aws_starter_sdk)
The drivers are released as a blob, so is the wifi firmware and bootloader. But in my opinion there is more than enough to do serious development using all the above tools and resources.

One of the interesting things that have been made using the module that we are using is the Hello Barbie : http://www.somersetrecon.com/blog/2015/11/20/hello-barbie-security-part-1-teardown (http://www.somersetrecon.com/blog/2015/11/20/hello-barbie-security-part-1-teardown)

And since it's a module based design we have FCC, IC, CE certifications too.

Forgot to mention, we are open sourcing the PCB files too -
