GainSpan GS1011MIC EVK Mrk IIc
Evaluation Kit
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The GS1011MIC EVK Mrk IIc Evaluation Kit provides Gai
nSpan
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.
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.
