3 Overview
The DA16200 is a highly integrated ultra-low power Wi-Fi system on chip (SoC) that allows users to
develop Wi-Fi solutions using a single chip.
Evaluation Kits and SDKs are provided to simplify the process of starting a project with the DA16200
or the DA16600.
This document provides a step by step guide to get started using the EVKs & SDKs by providing
details on:
●
The DA16200 and DA16600 Evaluation Kit hardware (see Section 4 )
●
How to connect to the EVKs (see Section 4.4 )
●
How to download firmware to the DA16200/600 (see Section 4.5)
●
How to provision and test the Wi-Fi connection (see Section 4.6 )
●
How to install the development tools (see Section 5)
●
How to install the SDK (see Section 5.6)
●
How to build an application (see Section 5.7 )
●
How to debug an application (see Section 5.9 )
●
How to perform various test procedures to demonstrate the capabilities of the
DA16200/600 (see Section
6 )
Once completing these steps, the EVK and development environment is ready for developing a
complete Wi-Fi solution.
If the Wi-Fi solution being developed is based on a host MCU that uses the DA16200/600 only as a
Wi-Fi communication interface through AT Commands, then a prebuilt firmware image can be used
to develop that solution. For details on how to use AT Commands see the following documents:
●
UM-WI-003 DA16200 AT-Command User Manual [6]
●
UM-WI-038 DA16200 Getting Started with AT-Command for AWS-IoT [7]
If the Wi-Fi solution being developed requires special functions or it is a standalone solution using
only the DA16200/600, then the SDK can be used to develop a new firmware image for that solution.
For more details on how to use the SDK to develop an application, see the following documents:
