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.
Signals[edit | edit source]
The following table describes the interface signals:

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.
