T BRIEF PR O D UCT B RI E F GainSpan GS1011MIC EVK Mrk IIc Evaluation Kit PRODUCT OVERVIEW The GS1011MIC EVK Mrk IIc Evaluation Kit provides GainSpan customers the means to evaluate capabilities of the GS1011 ultra-low power wireless system-on-a-chip and the 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 host microcontroller firmware. The GS1011MIC EVK Mrk IIc Evaluation Kit uses the GS1011MIC modules and provides all the hardware and software necessary to quickly set up a serial (UART) 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 GS1011MIC module, data transfer using “AT” command-set and protocol analyzer for validation of packet & frame fields. For additional details on the GS1011MIC see the module product brief. Host Microcontroller Embedded Application Serial-to-WiFi “Driver” • GS1011MIC highly integrated 802.11b Wi-Fi radio module • Easy integration of Wi-Fi and web connectivity to devices with existing microcontroller and UART interface • Easy device provisioning through Limited AP (embedded web pages) or Wi-Fi Protected Set-up (WPS) • Serial-to-WiFi 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 GS1011M GS1011MIC SPI or UART UART Serial-to-WiFi Po Power wer Management SSL HTTP Server TCP/IP Device Drivers RTOS WPA/2 WPS 802.11 MAC The GS1011 EVK Mrk IIc Evaluation Kit enables GainSpan customers to develop software on their existing microcontrollers to support the “AT” command set, and connect it through the UART interface on the evaluation kit reference board. . BENEFITS: FEATURES: • • Supports Infrastructure, Limited AP and Adhoc networking Two UART ports. Clock Data rates are o up to 921 Kbps • Push button for Alarms • Full Wi-Fi and networking stack services including TCP/UDP/IP, HTTP, DNS, DHCP and SSL • Wi-Fi Security o WEP, WPA/WPA2 Personal o WPA/WPA2 Enterprise o Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS 1.0) • FCC/IC/ETSI, Japan TELEC 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 abstract the complexity of IP networking and Wi-Fi communication from the embedded application, allowing complete control.
