T BRIEF PR O D UCT B RI E F GainSpan GS1011M EVK Mrk II Evaluation Kit PRODUCT OVERVIEW The GS1011M EVK Mrk II 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 GS1011M 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 GS1011M modules, data transfer using “AT” command-set and protocol analyzer for validation of packet & frame fields. For additional details on the module features, please refer to the GS1011M module product briefs. Host Microcontroller Embedded Application Serial-to-WiFi “Driver” GS1011M SPI or UART Serial-to-WiFi Power Management SSL HTTP Server TCP/IP Device Drivers RTOS WPA/2 WPS 802.11 MAC BENEFITS: • GS1011M highly integrated ultra- low power 802.11b Wi-Fi radio Family of modules • Easy integration of Wi-Fi and web connectivity to devices with existing microcontroller and UART or SPI interface • Easy device provisioning through LimitedAP (embedded web pages) or Wi-Fi Protected Set-up (WPS) • Serial to Wi-Fi firmware 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: • • The GS1011M 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 the UART or SPI interface on the evaluation kit reference board. • 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 • . Supports Infrastructure, Limited AP and Adhoc networking Two UART and SPI ports. Clock Data rates are o UART: up to 921 Kbps o SPI: up to 3 Mbps o WEP, WPA/WPA2 Personal o WPA/WAP2 Enterprise o Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS 2.0) 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.
