RS9113-NBZ-D1X-EVB

RS9113 Dual Band Wi-Fi + Bluetooth Development Kit

The RS9113 wireless module families are based on Silicon Labs' RS9113 ultra-low-power, single spatial stream, dual-band 802.11n + Bluetooth 4.0 SoC. The RS9113 wireless modules integrate a multi-threaded MAC processor with integrated analog peripherals and support for digital peripherals, baseband digital signal processor, analog front-end, crystal oscillator, calibration OTP memory, dual-band RF transceiver, dual-band high-power amplifiers, baluns, diplexers, diversity switch, Quad-SPI Flash and even an on-board antenna in some cases thus providing a fully-integrated, plug-and-play solution for embedded wireless applications.

These wireless modules come with a rich set of interfaces allowing maximum flexibility of integration into any Host Processor or Microcontroller system. The RS9113 Development Kit is a single platform that enables the evaluation of both hosted and embedded RS9113 modules. It can be interfaced with multiple Host Processors or Microcontrollers over interfaces like SDIO, USB, USB-CDC, SPI and UART.

The RS9113 board is designed to configure the module to use the interface on which power supply is detected. This is indicated through the LEDs mounted on the board. There is a 2-pin inline jumper available for measuring the current being sourced by the module during different stages of operation. This is labeled as 'MEASURE' on the PCB. The user may connect a power meter or an ammeter to this jumper to measure the current. The USB drive is bootable. It is loaded with Fedora Core 18 OS with the OneBox-Mobile driver binaries included for the evaluation of RS9113 modules on a standard PC/Laptop platform. The USB drive also has the release package for the modules which includes the firmware, documentation and reference projects for multiple platforms. Silicon Labs provides drivers for multiple OS and MCU platforms for the hosted modules and also OS-less MCU platforms for the embedded modules. The software provided in this kit is to enable easy and quick evaluation on a PC.
