DWS[edit | edit source]

DWS is a Dave Wireless Module, more details at the DWS page.

Description[edit | edit source]

The DWS 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 DWS (optional) add-on module.

The module is built around a Telit WE866C6-P Dual Band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) 802.11 ac WiFi and Bluetooth 5 module.

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]

The WiFi peripheral is mapped to the corresponding wlan0 device in Linux. The network peripheral is visible under the ifconfig network configuration utility.

The BT peripheral is mapped to /dev/ttySTM3 device in Linux.

The control signals are managed by rfkill in Linux.

Device usage[edit | edit source]

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

The BT peripheral uses the standard kernel hci interface.
