Getting started
This chapter describes the basic settings and procedures to get started with the MAYA-W1 EVK. All
referenced connectors, jumpers, and LEDs are shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2: Evaluation board of EVK-MAYA-W161 overview showing main connectors
Follow the procedure below to evaluate MAYA-W1 series module using EVK-MAYA-W1:
1.
Connect the external antennas for EVK-MAYA-W161. EVK-MAYA-W161 includes two external
dual-band antennas for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication, which must be connected to the
SMA connectors (J10 and J11) on the evaluation board.
☞
EVK-MAYA-W166 is equipped with an internal PCB antenna and does not include SMA
connectors for connecting external antennas. For more information about the antenna
connectors, see also
2.
Connect the host interfaces to the host system. The EVB and supplied M.2 and SDIO adapters
use zero insertion force (ZIF) connectors and flat cables for connecting the adapters. To connect
the cables, gently flip up the small locking flap of the connector, align and insert the flat cable
with the blue marking pointing upwards, and then close the locking flap.
o
For SDIO connection through an SD card socket on the host system, connect the micro or full-
size SD card adapter with the flat cable to the SDIO connector (J3) on the EVB and insert the
adapter card into the host socket. The SDIO interface is used for Wi-Fi communication with
the MAYA-W1 series module.
o
A USB-to-UART bridge is included on the evaluation board to access the high speed UART
interface of the MAYA-W1 series module for Bluetooth communication. To use the Bluetooth
interface through USB, connect the included USB cable to the USB type-C connector on the
EVB and connect it to a USB interface on the host system. Make sure that the jumper on J6 is
on pins 1-2 (EXT USB) to enable Bluetooth communication over the USB connector. For
information about accessing the UART interface for Bluetooth directly, see also
