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 ARMINO Development Framework supports Beken SoCs released after 2022, including BK7235, BK7237, BK7256, BK7236, and BK7258, but does not support earlier models like BK7231N, BK7231U, and BK7251. The framework introduces major enhancements such as support for multimedia drivers and demos, a new software architecture with components and middleware, RISC-V boot support, updated APIs for peripherals (ADC, GPIO, DMA, UART, SPI, QSPI, Timer, TRNG, MailBox, Interrupt, Watchdog, Efuse, PWM, Vault), Wi-Fi 6 and BLE 5.x stacks, POSIX compatibility for FreeRTOS (upgraded to v10.0), LWIP upgrade to v2.1.2, CMake build system, and Kconfig-based per-soc and per-project configuration. Discussions also mention potential integration with OpenBeken to extend support to more Beken chips. The BK7231N SDK includes updated WPA3-capable wpa_supplicant and GCC but lacks most LWIP code. Consumer devices using BK7236 (T3) and BK7231N (T2) are available on AliExpress. The Tuya open SDK repository is referenced for related development. Additional references to T1, T2, T3, and T5 device versions and firmware packages were shared. Generated by the language model.
