Maybe we can use something from this? It looks like a BK7231N SDK, and after quick look through some code i saw that it contains updated wpa-supplicant with WPA3 support and updated gcc, but lacking most of the lwip code.
Btw, T2(BK7231N?) and T3(BK7236) are already sold on AliExpress, so BK7236 will eventually end up in consumer devices.
The ME16WS04 is a high-performance, low-power, and cost-effective dual-band WiFi 6 2.4G/5Ghz, BLE 5.4 module based on the BK7239N SoC. It features an ARM core STAR-MC1 RF transceiver with a core operating speed of 240MHz, along with 4MB SiP FLASH programmable space, 512kB RAM, an integrated 2.4GHz/5G transceiver, and other powerful supporting resources, providing a perfect solution for WiFi and Bluetooth coexistence. The BK7239N supports protocols such as 802.11a/b/g/nax, BLE 5.4, and IEEE 802.15.4. Its range in open spaces is estimated at up to 150 meters.
The discussion centers on Beken’s ARMINO development framework and its support for newer SoCs such as BK7235, BK7236, BK7237, BK7256, BK7258, and later BK7238/BK7239N, while older pre-2022 chips like BK7231N, BK7231U, and BK7251 are not supported. Participants share SDK release notes highlighting new middleware/components architecture, RISC-V boot support, updated driver APIs, Wi‑Fi 6 and BLE 5.x stacks, POSIX for FreeRTOS, CMake/Kconfig build support, and upgraded FreeRTOS/LWIP versions. The thread also explores compatibility with OpenBeken and Tuya Open SDK, mentions updated WPA3-capable wpa-supplicant and GCC toolchains, and references product firmware packages for T1, T2, T3, T5, BK7258, and T7/BK7239N devices.
