Add wifi network support
Hi @xlar54, I agree, it would be very useful. However there are not enough technical information to do it for now. It requires bare metal device driver for BCM43430 chip connected on SDIO interface if you want to use the RPi Zero W onboard WiFi. The brcmfmac driver for linux may be the most useful source, I do not have enough time to read it though.
Makes you wonder how the linux guys write up these drivers when there isnt much published technical info out there. But yes, Ill take a look and thanks for a great project!

any update on how to get Wifi working?
This link seems very informative but I have not yet read through. https://iosoft.blog/category/bare-metal-programming/
not familiar with bare metal programming... hm to bad... without support for the integrated wifi chip I cannot use micropython on my raspberry pi zero wh for my project. Guess the best alternative for a quick booting OS would be Tiny Core Linux?
