Slow Clock Source
There is an option on board to supply the slow clock of 32.768 kHz to the module. By default, this option is
not used because the COM board has an onboard oscillator.

Debug
An onboard FTDI chip on the adapter board drives all the debug interfaces on one mini USB port.
The FTDI chip provides the ability to have Bluetooth/WiFi firmware logger and Bluetooth HCI/WLAN RS232 control interfaces routed easily to a single USB port that can supply the entire system.
The board can be operated with debug capabilities in two ways:
1. Use the board as a stand-alone COM board debug.
(a) Generate the 3.3 V/1.8 V from the onboard LDO through the USB port J22 (J2, J21, and J20
assembled).
(b) Enable lines can be controlled from the board (Bluetooth J9 pins 1-2 short; WLAN J12 pins 1-2
short).
(c) If the COM8 board does not have onboard slow clock, drive the slow clock to the module (J23).
(d) All four interfaces are driven to the FTDI device and through the USB port. Four virtual ports will be
created on the PC in the following order: Bluetooth UART, Bluetooth logger, WLAN RS232, WLAN
logger (UART J7, J8, J10, J11 short 2-3; Debug LS: J28 assembled)
2. Use the firmware loggers to monitor the operation of the device while running with a host.
(a) Make sure that only one source is driving the SYS_3V3 (J6 or J14) and J20 is disconnected.
(b) For the logger operation, connect the USB cable to J22 and make sure J21 and J28 are
assembled.
(c) On the virtual ports of the PC, Bluetooth logger will be identified as second port and WLAN as the
fourth.

Connecting Application
The WL18xxCOM82SDMMC board is designed to connect the WiLink™ 8 evaluation board
(WL18xxMODCOM8x) or any other COM (connectivity on module) board using MEC6 edge 100-pin
connector to any host platform using SD card/FPC connector/single-wire ribbon.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information

documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support

anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
