Yes, WICED is available, but the WiFiMCU and Lua and other software
pieces are being released with build environments predicated on the
IAR toolchain (which itself is predicated on Windows). I'm testing
the NodeMCU Lua environments (both for ESP8266 and EMW3165) while
finishing a "survey of the literature" to do with C/C++ tool chains.<br>
<br>
But, as you say, the Broadcom WICED SDK environment is available.
It's been <a href="http://www.emw3165.com/viewtopic.php?t=78">patched
for use with EMW3162 and 3165</a> by Emil Fridriksson. Although,
one only has to read the first "known limit" bullet item to
appreciate how "pre-pre-P R E-alpha" this environment is! But so far
this is the best environment I've found.<br>
<br>
I find it interesting that Mxchip doesn't even mention the 3165 on
the English version of their web site. (Google translate is
incredible. For folks into this, here's a very interesting <a
href="http://esp8266.ru/">Russian EMW3165 site</a>.)<br>
<br>
Thanks for the pointer to your 3162 work. I'll read it with great
interest.<br>
<br>
And thanks to Robert for providing perspective. The gap between
hobby and pro-oriented stuff and between vendor A and vendor B stuff
can be pretty drastic, and it's very important for us to help each
other separate the wheat from the chaff so folks don't think the
sow's ear for $2 direct from a distant vendor is a silk purse.<br>
<br>
But in my opinion it's all relative. I recently suffered a shock
while reading the STM32F411 ARM chip's errata sheet <a
href="http://www.st.com/web/en/resource/technical/document/errata_sheet/DM00137034.pdf">(page
6 here)</a>. Right, I'll just make sure that the 3165 I use has
no firmware containing an ISR with a single instruction in it to
avoid my floating point divides and square roots being randomly
corrupted every 40th blue moon. Piece of cake! (In a former life I
wrote compiler back ends that had to craft machine language output
to steer around bugs in the National 32k and Motorola 88k
microprocessors. I mention this to make it clear that there is no
definite dividing line between "hardware bug" and "software bug".)<br>
