Devicescape Wireless Infrastructure Platform

The Devicescape Wireless Infrastructure Platfrom provides a foundation for building feature-rich, wireless access points and other WLAN infrastructure devices. You can use the platform to rebrand the supplied AP into a complete firmware image, or make deeper modifications or additions to features and functionality. To get you started we provide bootable kernel and RFS images. You can use these to boot your target board with our "Reference AP". Install the platform software on your development host, and then see the "Getting Started" Board Guides for first steps.

For Release Notes and key issues, see the Customer Support site.
