Overview
The EVK-NINA-W1/EVK-NINA-B2 evaluation kit includes an evaluation board, which can be used as a
reference design for the NINA-W1 or NINA-B2 series modules, a quick start guide, and a USB cable.
For the NINA-B221 and the NINA-W1x1 module, the evaluation board is prepared with a U.FL coaxial
connector for connecting the external antenna. The NINA-B222 and the NINA-W1x2 module has an
onboard antenna; thus the EVK-NINA-B222 and the EVK-NINA-W1x2 evaluation board does not have
a U.FL connector.
The main features of the EVK-NINA-W1/EVK-NINA-B2 are:
•
Available in several variants:
o
NINA-B221 and NINA-B222
o
NINA-W101 and NINA-W102
o
NINA-W131 and NINA-W132
o
NINA-W151 and NINA-W152
•
All of the module pins are available at connectors or jumpers
•
Can be powered through USB (J8) or external power supply (J23)
•
Equipped with a Quad High Speed USB to Multipurpose UART/MPSSE IC (FT4232) that allows
serial communication and flashing over USB.
The EVK-NINA-W1/EVK-NINA-B2 evaluation kits are available in the following variants, depending on
the NINA module that is mounted on the EVK:
•
EVK-NINA-B221 – Evaluation kit for NINA-B221 module, RF port available on U.FL connector (J21)
•
EVK-NINA-B222 – Evaluation kit for NINA-B222 module with onboard antenna
•

(J21)
•
EVK-NINA-W102 – Evaluation kit for NINA-W102 module with onboard antenna
•
EVK-NINA-W131 – Evaluation kit for NINA-W131 module, RF port available on U.FL connector
(J21)
•
EVK-NINA-W132 – Evaluation kit for NINA-W132 module with onboard antenna
•
EVK-NINA-W151 – Evaluation kit for NINA-W151 module, RF port available on U.FL connector
(J21)
•
EVK-NINA-W152 – Evaluation kit for NINA-W152 module with onboard antenna
This section describes the main connectors and settings that are required to get started. Figure 1
and Figure 2 show the two different antenna variants of the EVK-NINA-W1/EVK-NINA-B2 evaluation
board.
