Overview
The EVK-ELLA-W1 evaluation kits provide a simple way to evaluate the ELLA-W1 host-based multiradio modules
with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
[2]
. The EVK-ELLA-W1 evaluation board comes with on-board antennas for Wi-Fi and
Bluetooth. External antennas can optionally be connected through U.FL coaxial connectors. The evaluation kit
includes a standard full-size SDIO adapter board (compatible with host sockets designed for SD memory cards)
for host communication.
The main features of the EVK-ELLA-W1 evaluation kit are:
Available for single and dual antenna variants of the ELLA-W1 module
SDIO 2.0 device interface via SDIO adapter board for host communication
On-board dual-band 2.4/5 GHz and 2.4 GHz chip antennas for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
U.FL coaxial connectors for external Wi-Fi and Bluetooth antennas, switchable by 0
Ω
resistors
All module interfaces externally available
Multiple power supply options
Table 1 lists the different evaluation kit versions:
