UG351: WGM160P Wi-Fi Module Wireless Starter Kit User's Guide

PublishTime：2020-04-16

A Wireless Starter Kit with the BRD4321A Radio Board is an ex-cellent starting point to get familiar with the WGM160P Wi-Fi®Module. It also provides the necessary tools for developing a Sili-con Labs wireless application.BRD4321A is a plug-in board for the Wireless Starter Kit Mainboard. It contains theWGM160P Wi-Fi Module, a USB Micro-B connector and a MicroSD card slot.The Wireless Starter Kit Mainboard contains an on-board J-Link debugger with a PacketTrace Interface and a virtual COM port, enabling application development and debuggingthe attached radio board as well as external hardware. The mainboard also containssensors and peripherals for easy demonstration of some of the WGM160P's many capa-bilities.This document describes how to use the BRD4321A Radio Board together with a Wire-less Starter Kit Mainboard.

The WGM160P Wi-Fi Module is featured on a radio board that plugs directly into a Wireless Starter Kit (WSTK) Mainboard. The main-board features several tools for easy evaluation and development of wireless applications. An on-board J-Link debugger enables pro-gramming and debugging on the target device over USB or Ethernet. The Advanced Energy Monitor (AEM) offers real-time current andvoltage monitoring. A virtual COM port interface (VCOM) provides an easy-to-use serial port connection over USB or Ethernet. ThePacket Trace Interface (PTI) offers invaluable debug information about transmitted and received packets in wireless links.All debug functionality, including AEM, VCOM, and PTI, can also be used towards external target hardware instead of the attached ra-dio board.To further enhance its usability, the mainboard contains sensors and peripherals that demonstrates some of the many capabilities of theWGM160P. A 20-pin expansion header (EXP header) is also provided that allows connection of expansion boards (EXP boards) to thekit.The Wireless Starter Kit for WGM160P includes an EXP board (BRD8026A) that can be connected to EXP header on the Wireless STKmainboard to provide Ethernet connectivity to the WGM160P module.
A Wireless Starter Kit consists of one or more mainboards and radio boards that plug into the mainboard. Different radio boards areavailable, each featuring different Silicon Labs devices with different operating frequency bands.Since the mainboard is designed to work with all different radio boards, the actual pin mapping from a device pin to a mainboard featureis done on the radio board. This means that each radio board has its own pin mapping to the Wireless Starter Kit features, such asbuttons, LEDs, the display, the EXP header and the breakout pads. Because this pin mapping is different for every radio board, it isimportant that the correct document be consulted which shows the kit features in context of the radio board plugged in.This document explains how to use the Wireless Starter Kit when the WGM160P Wi-Fi Module Radio Board (BRD4321A) is combinedwith a Wireless STK Mainboard. The combination of these two boards is hereby referred to as a Wireless Starter Kit (Wireless STK).
