module.
2.1 Feature List
The evaluation board provides the features listed in
Feature
Detail
WICED Module
The module is a complete Wi-Fi and networking solution and
includes a microcontroller, Cypress Wi-Fi, antenna(e) and power
supply.
Program & Debug Interfaces
Applications are downloaded to the microcontroller and
debugged using either a USB-JTAG interface or a J-Link JTAG
interface
USB-Serial UART Interface
A UART on the microcontroller connects to the EVB USB-serial
interface to enable serial communications with a PC terminal
application
Expansion Header
The expansion header facilitates custom sensor interfaces and
expansion boards
Reset Switch
Enables manual reset of the WICED module
Current Measurement
A current measurement circuit enables power profiling of the
application running on the WICED module
Power Supply
The EVB may be powered directly from the USB interface or
from an ex5V power supply.
LED Indicators
UART
Illuminates when transmit or receive characters
appear on the UART
JTAG
Illuminates when the JTAG programming interface
is active
3V3
Illuminates while power is supplied to the EVB
(USB or external power)
5V PWR
Illuminates when ex5V power is connected
