Overview

The WiLink SDIO board is a SDMMC adapter board and is an easy to use connector between a WiLink COM8 Evaluation module [WL1837MODCOM8i and WL1835MODCOM8B] and a generic SD/MMC card slot on a host processor EVM. The adapter card enables the WiLink Wi-Fi module to operate over SDIO. It also provides UART connection for Bluetooth® over a FPC connector or wire cables.

In addition the adapter is a standalone evaluation platform using TI wireless PC debug tools for any WiLink module/chip solution with a PCB 100-pin edge connector.

This board is designed for use with various platforms such as the TI Sitara AM335 and AM437.

 

Features
  • Easy to connect WiLink8 modules to platforms over SDMMC
  • 3v level-shifter to 1.8v IO
  • BT and WiFi debug pins
