GS2200MIZ-SKB

T BRIEF PRODUCT BRIEF GS2200M Starter Kit Board (SKB) PRODUCT OVERVIEW The GS2200M Starter Kit Board (SKB) is an easy to use evaluation and development platform for GS2200Mxx-based designs. It is equipped with Arduino-compatible and Pmod-compatible connectors to support solderless prototyping. The SKB is configurable to operate as either a host or shield/peripheral. The SKB includes temperature and light sensors, software accessible buttons and LEDs, built-in power consumption measurement features, a USB-serial interface for debugging and firmware programming, a JTAG debug interface, and pre-loaded reference software to speed your evaluation and development effort. The SKB is Apple HomeKit compatible. It provides a site for Apple MFi licensees to install an Apple Authentication Coprocessor chip. GainSpan’s HomeKit ADKs are available separately. BENEFITS:  Easy to use evaluation and development platform for GS2200Mxx-based designs  Supports development of either host-less or hosted designs  Arduino™ compatible (host or shield)  Pmod™ compatible (host or peripheral)  Built-in temperature and light sensors  Apple® HomeKit™ compatible  Built-in development support features  Flexible powering options  Pre-loaded temperature and light sensing reference application The SKB can be powered from the USB port, two AA batteries, an Arduino host, or a bench power supply. FEATURES:  GS2200MIZ Ultra-low Power Wi-Fi CERTIFIED® 802.11b/g/n Mini-Module  Arduino compatible interface with UART, SPI, I2C, GPIO, ADC and PWM support (host or shield support)  Pmod-compatible UART, SPI and I2C interfaces (host or peripheral)  Intelligent, ultra-low power temperature and light sensors with alarms to wake-up the GS2200M on threshold crossing events  Built-in power measurement circuitry for easy power consumption measurement and optimization  Three software accessible buttons and two software controlled LEDs  Built-in USB serial debug and flash programming port  JTAG debugger interface  Power from USB, 2-AA batteries, Arduino host, or a bench supply  Built-in battery gauge circuit PRODUCT BRIEF SUPPORTS BOTH HOST-LESS AND HOSTED DESIGNS The SKB can be used as a development platform for both host-less and hosted designs. In a host-less design, your application firmware runs on the GS2200M module. In a hosted design, your application firmware runs on an adjacent host microcontroller. In both cases, you leverage the extensive set of Wi-Fi and TCP/IP-based network services provided by the GS2200M module. For host-less designs, you develop your application firmware using GainSpan’s GS2000 Software Development Kit (SDK) and may leverage one or more of GainSpan’s Application Development Kits (ADKs) to accelerate your time to market. The Temperature and Light Sensor ADK embedded firmware, which is pre-installed on the SKB, is included in the GS2000 SDK. For hosted designs, you develop your application firmware on a host microcontroller of your choosing, interfacing it to the GS2200M module via a UART, SPI or SDIO port. Your application interfaces with GainSpan’s Serial-to-Wi-Fi (S2W) firmware running on the GS2200M module using “AT” commands. The AT commands enable you to leverage the many networking services provided by the GS2200M module via high-level, easy to use modem-style commands. GainSpan’s SDK Builder website enables you to generate S2W firmware customized to your requirements, eliminating the time and cost involved in using a locally installed SDK to do this.
