How to Connect FPGA to WiFi Module for Wireless Communication in Projects

i m doing my final year project in which hardware part i have to connect my fpga to WiFi device i don't having any idea can any 1 guide me in this

Hi Umair,

I would look at using the SimpleLink WiFi CC3000 module. It will be very easy to get up an running and you can communicate to the module via SPI at 16MHz. Check out this paper to learn more.

thanks mr cody for your help
BTW i was working on cc2500 so i hope it will be same thing like that for connectivity using spi my instructor pursue me to connect it with the micro controller

i want this WiFi to communicate with fpga because further i want to do video processing which will be difficult to be perform on UC
what i want to ask is that is it necessary to connect these ic to UC because they have the spi module cant we connect it directly to the xilinx's spartan 6

Hi ... i'm doing my msc ... and i wanna make the fpga ... spartan 3 .. as a host and communicate with sensors and many robots wirelesslly ... that i can use one fpga in a room to control many robots .. " not complicated robots "
is there any way to make a FPGA a host by .. wi fi ... or RF .. or RFID ,,,
thanks already

Hi, Cody may well be onto it. Use a micro to handle the coms with the WiFi unit initially, whichever you use. This will allow you to set up and download data on your link quickly.
You could then test your video processing algorithms on a PC first. In other words, break the project up into workable chunks. Then work on your FPGA. It is possible to get soft processors onto FPGAs, the code is out there, and SPI is trivial. There is also a lot of work been done with video processing on FPGAs, it's all out on the web. If it's a final year project, it's got to be more than cut and paste though,
cheers,
Richard
