We would like to interface our IOT product running a TI MSP432E401 with the Seeed Studio HaLow module.
The MSP432E is a Cortex M4F based processor.
How would we go about getting this to work?
I see there are other STM processors supported including the STM32F429.
For hardware we can use either SPI or UART, so this is not a problem.
The module will simply plugin into our product.
Hi @janzwiegers
The MSP432E401 should have just enough resources for a minimal network application. The MM6108 requires SPI or SDIO be used.
If you’re able to start working within the mm-iot-sdk framework, then adding your own platform might be the best place to start. If you clone the mm-iot-sdk repository, open documentation.html in your browser for the guide to use the framework for our current evaluation kits.
Adding support for the TI MSP432E401 will require implementing abstraction layers. See the mmhal_*.h headers in mm-iot-sdk/framework/morselib/include at main · MorseMicro/mm-iot-sdk · GitHub.
It might seem a bit overwhelming at first! But it isn’t too bad. Most of the implementation will be specific to bringing up the hardware for your platform, reading and writing to the SPI bus, and controlling GPIOs.
Thank you @ajudge for the response!
TI has a very good posix socket like network layer that is part of their SimpleLink frameworks. We have ported this to STM32 processors and also supporting other Wifi modules natively for TI.
If you get this going you have support to all network services like DNS, Http clients and servers, etc out of the box. This will be first price if we can make it work this way.
Hooking up the hardware will not be a problem.
