Introduction
This document describes how to set up the u-blox EVK-W16 evaluation kit to perform some basic operations
with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and the terminal. The EVK-W16 also serves as reference platform for the ODIN-W160
module and this guide also demonstrates the capabilities of the ODIN-W160 multiradio module. The setup
process takes around 10 minutes. This guide also provides information on how to build and customize the
firmware. You can build and customize the firmware in 1-2 hours, depending on the build system and speed of
the internet connection.
1.1
Overview
The ELIN-W160 is a system-on-module that uses an AM3352, 512 MB NAND, 256 MB RAM with a dual-band
802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 radio for OEMs. The ELIN-W160 module has the following three main
connectors:
Primary host connector
Secondary host connector
A U.FL. connector for connecting to an external antenna
Two LEDs indicate the power and the activity of the CPU as shown in Figure 1.

Development board
The ELIN-W160 requires a carrier board to provide power and connectors for the user interfaces, as needed for
operation. The EVK-W16 evaluation kit and its main parts are shown in Figure 2. The development board
provides convenient connectors for the ELIN-W160 for all default interfaces, as shown in Figure 3.
