GS1500M-EVK2-S2W-WEB-R2

T BRIEF PR O D UCT B RI E F - P RE L IM IN AR Y GainSpan GS1500M EVK Mrk II Evaluation Kit PRODUCT OVERVIEW The GS1500M EVK Mrk II Evaluation Kit provides GainSpan customers the means to evaluate capabilities of the GS1500M low power wireless module together with Serial-to-WiFi embedded software for Wi-Fi networks. The Serial-to-WiFi embedded software allows devices and appliances manufacturers to easily add Wi-Fi capabilities to their products with minimal impact on the host microcontroller firmware. The GS1500M EVK Mrk II Evaluation Kit provides all the hardware and software necessary to quickly set up a serial (UART or SPI) based link to a PC or external microcontroller. In order to evaluate the ease of adding secure Wi-Fi communications to a product using the GainSpan AT command set, the kit includes all the software tools necessary for configuration of Serial-to-Wi-Fi and GS1500M module, data transfer using “AT” command-set and protocol analyzer for validation of packet & frame fields. For module details please refer to the GS1500M module product brief. Host Microcontroller Embedded Application Serial-to-WiFi “Driver” GS1011M GS1500M SPI or UART Serial-to-WiFi Power Management SSL HTTP Server TCP/IP Device Drivers RTOS WPA/2 WPS 802.11 MAC The GS1500M EVK Mrk II Evaluation Kit enables GainSpan customers to develop software on their existing microcontrollers to support the “AT” command set, and connect it to either UART or SPI interface on the evaluation kit reference board. . BENEFITS: • GS1500M highly integrated advanced 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi radio • Pin-pin, footprint and software architecture compatibility with GS1011M • Easy device provisioning with WPS or embedded configuration web pages • Easy integration of Wi-Fi and web connectivity to devices with existing microcontroller and UART or SPI interface • Serial-to-Wi-Fi software allows easy addition of Wi-Fi capabilities to embedded system • Offloads Wi-Fi and TCP/ IP networking from smaller host microcontrollers • Simple AT commands for configuration and data communication • Support for over the air firmware updates using external flash FEATURES: • Supports Infrastructure, Limited AP and Adhoc networking • • Support for peer to peer networking Two UART/SPI ports. Clock data rates are o UART: up to 921 Kbps o SPI: up to 3 Mbps • Push button for Alarms and firmware restore from External Flash • Full Wi-Fi and networking stack services including TCP/UDP/IP, DNS, DHCP, HTTP and SSL • Wi-Fi Security o WEP, WPA/WPA2 Personal o WPA/WPA2 Enterprise o Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) • 802.11 b/g/n WiFi Alliance Certified Module • Power Save Modes – PS-Poll, Sleep, Deep sleep, Standby PR O D UCT B RI E F AT COMMAND SET The ‘AT’ command set supports the full range of capabilities provided by the underlying GainSpan network services software that abstracts the complexity of IP networking and Wi-Fi communication from the embedded application while giving it complete control over the AT command set.
