What's in the Release?#

  • WiSeConnect SDK, application examples, and connectivity firmware are available in the wiseconnect package.

  • For instructions, please refer here to install through Simplicity Studio, or here to install through the command line.

Note that installing through Simplicity Studio will result in the desired package being automatically installed based on the installation option selected.

Compatible Software#

Software Compatible Version or Variant
Connectivity Firmware
  • Standard: 2.15.5.0.0.11
  • Lite: 2.15.5.0.2.11

Note: The firmware above is used by the network processor on SiWx91x parts.

Simplicity SDK

2025.12.0

Note: The WiSeConnect Simplicity Studio extension automatically pulls in the compatible Simplicity SDK version. See the Getting Started Guides for more details.

Simplicity Studio

6.1.0

Note: To install Simplicity Studio, see the Install Simplicity Studio section.

RTOS

FreeRTOS v11.1.0

Note: The WiSeConnect Simplicity Studio extension automatically pulls in the compatible FreeRTOS version. See the Getting Started Guides for more details.

Toolchains in Simplicity Studio

GNU ARM v12.2.1

Note: To install the above toolchain, see the Install the GNU ARM v12.2.1 Toolchain section.

LwIP

2.2.1

Note: The Studio extension automatically pulls in the compatible LwIP version when the "LwIP Network Stack (Hosted)" component is added to a project.

Installation and Use#

Note:

  • To upgrade an earlier version of board BRD4338A (standalone or included in pro kit Si917-6031A), see the SiWG917 - TA Flash Memory Map Change Guide.

  • The release packages will include bug fixes, enhancements, and new features for both SDK and Firmware. Customers should update and use the SDK and Firmware from the same release package. Combinations of SDK and Firmware that are not released together are not supported.

  • It is strongly recommended to perform firmware update using a combined image, which includes both the Network Processor (NWP) and the Application Processor (M4) images in a single package.

  • When generating a combined image, use NWP image and M4 image from the same release package. Using different versions may result in undefined behavior due to a version mismatch.

  • For devices with 4 MB flash, updating using a combined image is not supported due to memory limitations. In this case, it is mandatory to update the NWP image first, followed by the M4 image.

  • For NCP mode, it is mandatory to update the NWP image first, followed by the Host image of the same release version.

To run your first demo with the Simplicity Studio integrated development environment (IDE), see our Getting Started Guides.
