    Hello,

    We want to upgrade the firmware and drivers for the WiFi wl1283 chip on the Torpedo wireless SOM as it appears the version in the supplied VM is old. Are there instructions for how to do this?

    Thanks

    Is there something the current BSP doesn't support what you need? If something is broken or missing, we might be able to help you.

    Hi Adam,

    We are integrating the SOM and are getting firmware crashes and restarts on occasion. I also believe TI made an update to the firmware to increase the maximum number of connected devices in AP mode from 5 to 8.

    From looking at the firmware rev that gets printed on reboot, it looks rather old so we are trying to integrate the latest. The best instructions I have found is: http://processors.wiki.ti...P_Build_Instructions but have yet been able to get a new wl12xx module working properly.

    Thanks for the help.
