Overview
Core1081 is an ultra-compact, low-power embedded Wi-Fi module
based on MX1081, a fully integrated System-on-Chip that is fully
compatible with Broadcom WICED platform. MX1081 integrates a
wireless LAN MAC/baseband/radio, and a Cortex-M3
microcontroller STM32F205 that runs a unique "self-hosted" Wi-Fi
networking library and software application stack. Core1081 has
1M bytes flash, 128k RAM and rich peripherals for your embedded
Wi-Fi applications.
Core1081 is also anmxchipWNetTMcompatible platform, users can
build their own embedded Wi-Fi applications based on
mxchipWNetTM library which manage all of the Wi-Fi MAC and
TCP/IP stack processing. We also provide several
mxchipWNetTM firmware to meet typical applications:wireless
UART, wireless audio, wireless sensor etc.
When using mxchipWNetTM-DTU firmware, you can establish
Wi-Fi networking for any device with a micro-controller and a
UART interface. Quick development cycles enables fast time to
market.

1. Introduction
Core1081 is an ultra-compact, low-power embedded Wi-Fi module based on
MX1080, a fully integrated System-on-Chip that is fully compatible with Broadcom
WICED platform. MX1081 integrates a Broadcom BCM43362 wireless LAN
MAC/baseband/radio, and an embedded processor core that runs a unique "self-hosted" Wi-Fi
networking library and software application stack. Core1081 has 1M bytes flash, 128k RAM and rich
peripherals for your embedded Wi-Fi applications.
Core1081 is also an mxchipWNetTM compatible platform, users can build their own embedded
Wi-Fi applications based on mxchipWNetTM library which manage all of the Wi-Fi MAC and TCP/IP
stack processing. We also provide several mxchipWNetTM firmware to meet typical applications:
wireless UART, wireless audio, wireless sensor etc.
When using mxchipWNetTM-DTU firmware, you can establish Wi-Fi networking for any device
with a micro-controller and a serial interface. Quick development cycles enables fast time to market.
