DWM[edit | edit source]

DWM is a Dave Wireless Module, more detail at the DWM page.

Description[edit | edit source]

The DWM interface is available on the Evaluation Kit at the connector J8.

J8 is a 30-pins 0.50mm Pitch SlimStack™ Receptacle. This connector is dedicated to the DWM (optional) add-on module.

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.

Device mapping[edit | edit source]

TBD.png Section not completed yet

The WiFi peripheral is mapped to the corresponding wlan<X> device in Linux. The network peripheral is visible under the ifconfig network configuration utility.

The BT peripheral is mapped to /dev/ttyxxx device in Linux.

The control signals are managed by rfkill in Linux.

Device usage[edit | edit source]

The WiFi peripheral use the standard kernel interface and network protocol stack.

The BT peripheral use the standard kernel hci interface.
