==IntroductionSpecification==
The module is built around an LS Research TiWi-BLE Integrated Transceiver Modules for WLAN 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth. The module implements the necessary PHY/MAC layers to support WLAN applications in conjunction with a host processor over a SDIO interface. The module also provides a Bluetooth platform through the HCI transport layer. Both WLAN and Bluetooth share the same antenna port.

===Power consumption===Please refer to the [http://www.lsr.com/downloads/products/330-0087.pdf TiWi-BLE Datasheet] for SDIO [WiFi] and UART [Bluetooth] interface timings.
==Pinout and detailed pin functions==
DWM can be connected to the host board through the J1 connector.  ===Pinout reference=== The following picture shows the reference pins of the J1 connector (placed on the bottom side of the DWM module): [[File:Dwm_05.png|300px|frameless|border]] ===J1 connector pinout table=== The following table reports the connector pinout:

==Integration guide==
This section provides useful information and resources that allow let the system designer to integrate the DWM module in his/her the application very quickly.
=== Typical scenariosscenario=== The following picture shows the conceptual block diagram of the application where the host is an Embedded PC. [[File:Dwm-epc-scenario.png|thumb|center|400px|Typical scenario]] ====Electrical guidelines====*Keep SDIO lines as short as possible.*5V and 3.3V rails can power up in any order*Keep WIFI_EN asserted during power-up sequence

These parameters are set through a calibration process, that is described in detail [http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/WL12xx_NLCP_Calibration_Process here]. The calibration process—that produces an NVS file—is not trivial. Apart from the chip itself (Texas Instruments WL1271L in this case), it depends on:*the antenna - a list of [https://www.lairdconnect.com/wireless-modules/wifi-modules-bluetooth/tiwi-ble#certified-antennas certified antennas] and cables can be found in the TiWi Module device datasheet. Use of these antennas does not require additional FCC/IC/ETSI certifications.*the firmware version downloaded to the chip: please refer to the proper firmware available on your Linux distribution for matching the kernel driver and run properly the calibration process*the initialization data, typically stored in an INI file: please refer to the [https://www.lairdconnect.com/wireless-modules/wifi-modules-bluetooth/tiwi-ble#documentation Laird Connectivity TiWi documentation] for checking the proper INI file configuration*the Calibrator source code [https://github.com/TI-OpenLink/ti-utils/tree/ol_R5.SP8.01 here]More information about kernel driver and calibration on the [https://www.lairdconnect.com/forum/tiwi-ble/online-documentation/support-and-tools Laird Support and Tools] web page. ==== MAC address ====The MAC address is set at calibration time for WLAN. To use the built in MAC address for WLAN be sure to pass a MAC address of <code>00:00:00:00:00:00</code> as a parameter to the auto-calibrate function. To set a custom MAC address for WLAN just pass the desired value into the auto-calibrate function. ==== NVS ready-to-use calibration files ====The following links refer to specific use cases, where the resulting NVS file is provided along with DAVE Embedded Systems products integrating DWM module.*[[XUELK-AN-001:_Using_WiFi-Bluetooth_combo_plugin_with_SBC_Lynx|SBC Lynx (XUELK)]]*[[XUELK-AN-002:_Running_Debian_distribution#Bluetooth_and_WiFi|SBC Lynx (Debian)]]The <code>nvs.bin</code> file has been created using the certified antenna [http://www.molex.com/molex/products/datasheet.jsp?part=active/0479500011_ANTENNAS.xml Molex 47950-0011] Please refer to the below Laird Connectivity TiWi-BLE documentation for more information. == References ==* [https://www.lairdconnect.com/wireless-modules/wifi-modules-bluetooth/tiwi-ble#documentation Laird Connectivity TiWi-BLE documentation]* [https://www.lairdconnect.com/documentation/tiwi-ble-datasheet TiWi-BLE datasheet]* [https://www.lairdconnect.com/documentation/tiwi-antenna-design-guide Antenna Design Guide]* [https://www.lairdconnect.com/documentation/tiwi-emc-compliance-guide EMC Compliance Guide]* [https://www.lairdconnect.com/documentation/wlan-ini-etsi-all-certified-antennas WLAN INI all certified antennas]* [http://linuxwireless.sipsolutions.net/en/users/Drivers/wl12xx/ WL127x Linux Calibrator]Since January 15, 2021, TI's processors wiki site has been shut down.
