Overview

The WiLink SDIO board is a SDMMC adapter board and is an easy to use connector between a WiLink COM8 Evaluation module [WL1837MODCOM8i and WL1835MODCOM8B] and a generic SD/MMC card slot on a host processor EVM. The adapter card enables the WiLink Wi-Fi module to operate over SDIO. It also provides UART connection for Bluetooth® over a FPC connector or wire cables.

In addition the adapter is a standalone evaluation platform using TI wireless PC debug tools for any WiLink module/chip solution with a PCB 100-pin edge connector.

This board is designed for use with various platforms such as the TI Sitara AM335 and AM437.

Features

Easy to connect WiLink8 modules to platforms over SDMMC
3v level-shifter to 1.8v IO
BT and WiFi debug pins
