2: Evaluation Kit
The xPico Embedded Device Server family of products can be evaluated using several
available Evaluation Kits depending upon the type of PCB mounting and interface.
The xPico Embedded Device Server Evaluation Kit (part number XPW100100K-01) is for
evaluating the xPico and xPico Wi-Fi modules with 40-pin connector interface. The xPico Wi-Fi
SMT module with on module antenna (XPCW1003100) module uses the XPCW1003100K.
The xPico Wi-Fi SMT module with U.FL connector comes on a carrier board that uses the
same board as the used for the connector versions of the module. This Evaluation Kit is the
XPCW1002100K. All of these kits can help you get familiar with your xPico module so that you
may understand how to integrate your xPico embedded device server into a given product
design.

Evaluation Board Description
The xPico Wi-Fi evaluation board provides a test platform for the Lantronix xPico device server
products. The evaluation board uses either 5V power from a USB device port connector or
power supplied to the Ethernet connector via PoE (XPW100100K-01 only). The evaluation
board also provides a header for connection to a 2.2V to 5.5V external source, such as a
battery. The Evaluation Kit includes a 5V wall adapter with a USB plug to allow powering the
evaluation board from a standard power strip. The evaluation board includes all necessary
regulators to power the 3.3V xPico module. The evaluation board has the following features:
One DB9 serial port connector with a multi-protocol RS232, RS422, RS485 transceiver at
rates up to 1Mbps. Serial port modes are configured by on-board jumpers. The xPico Wi-
Fi does not support RS485. RS485 is applicable only to the xPico.
A second RS232 serial port is available on a header.
One RJ45 10/100 Ethernet port with an integrated PoE regulator to allow powering from
standard POE PSE. (POE works with Ethernet xPico modules only) ( XPW100100K-01
only)
One Mini-Type B USB device port connector for 5V input power. This port also has an
integrated USB-to-serial converter. The USB-to-serial converter can be connected to the
xPico second serial port via a board jumper setting.
A second Mini-type B USB device port is available for connection to the xPico module
