1 Kit description
The JODY-W2 series comprises compact modules based on the NXP 88W8987 chipset family. The
chipsets used in the automotive grade JODY-W2 modules are AEC-Q100 compliant. They enable
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) communication, and are ideal for automotive and
industrial applications.
EVK-JODY-W2 allows an external host processor to access several practical features for testing and
evaluating the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity supported in JODY-W2 series modules, including:
• An external connector to all host interfaces (SDIO and UART)
• PCM interface through an on-board accessible connector
• GPIO pins that are accessible through an on-board connector
• Internal dual-band 2.4/5 GHz antennas for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
• SMA connectors for external antennas.
• Module interfaces that are all externally available via the pin headers
For more information about JODY-W2 modules, see the JODY-W2 series data sheet [1] and system
integration manual [2] .
