Setting up the evaluation board
The EVK-NINA-W10 is delivered without any software (open CPU) and the software must be
developed by the user.
The EVK-NINA-B2, EVK-NINA-W13, and EVK-NINA-W15 are delivered with the u-blox connectivity
software pre-flashed on the module.
⚠
The module is designed to be used only with the applicable software and only compatible software
can be flashed on the module.
Before connecting to the module, download and install the latest u-blox s-center evaluation software
from the u-blox website.
Plug in external supply power at connector J23 or connect J8 (USB type Micro B) to a USB host using
the USB cable. The status light (DS8) will turn green, indicating that the internal EVK 3.3 V is on.
⚠
When using the evaluation board with external antenna, before powering up the EVK, ensure that
you have connected the 2.4 GHz antenna with the U.FL antenna connector (J21). Failing to do so
may cause undesired operation.
⚠
Be careful to check polarity before connecting external power supply to the evaluation board.
Center conductor is positive (+) and the ring is negative (-).
⚠
The current consumption during startup of the evaluation board can be high.
The operating system will install the correct COM port drivers automatically. The drivers will need to
be installed only when you connect the unit to a new computer for the first time. For more information
about the COM ports and their configuration, see the FTDI FT4232H Datasheet [6].
One COM port will automatically be assigned to the unit by the Windows OS. To view the assigned
COM ports on Windows 7, follow the steps mentioned below:
•
Open the
Control Panel
and click
Hardware and Sound
.
•
Click
Device Manager
in
Devices and Printers
. This will open the Device Manager window where
you can view the assigned COM ports.

•
EVK-NINA-W106
When using the NINA-W10 open CPU variant, it is not possible to download the u-blox connectivity
software.
The NINA-W10 open CPU variants are to be used when developing custom software based on the
Espressif SDK ESP-IDF. Before compiling custom software, the ESP-IDF must be configured for the
NINA-W10 open CPU variant.
More information on this topic can be found in the NINA-W1 System Integration Manual [7].
