1.3 Introduction
The main use of Maple Peak at product launch is wireless docking in conjunction with the Maple Peak
SNK.
1.3.1 Wireless docking
Wireless Docking generally occ urs when the user is working 2-4 feet from the display(s). The user
experiences the same kind of responsiveness as operating a workstation/desktop.
“Place to Dock, Snap to Go” experience 1.3.1.1
Wireless dockin g is d esigned to minimize user actions. After the initial WPS based pairing, the typical
user is able to “au to-dock,” meaning the device automatically connects to the dock and periphe r al
when in range of the dock. I n oth er w or ds , by the time the device is on the desk, it is already docked.
Undocking is as simple, allowing the user to grab the device and walk away.
Wireless Docking (WiDock) and Wireless Display (WiDi) 1.3.1.2
WiDock differs from other models, such as Miracast* or Intel® Wireless Display, in which the user is
further from the screen (such as on the couch or in a conference room), and is focused on content
consumption (watching a video, sharing a screen with others, gaming) ra ther than produc tivity or
content creation.

Introduction
1.3.2 Wireless peripheral
The wireless peripheral feature allows a device to int eract with high-speed USB peripherals over
WiGig. For example, a directly atta c hed storage device equipped with Maple Peak SNK would allow a
high-speed USB 3.0 connection with a Maple Pea k equipped tablet or notebook.
When connecting, many of the wireless docking capabilities would be applicable ( excluding of course
the display capabilities), allow ing USB 3.0 like th r oughputs (>1 Gbps) for on-desk distances.
1.3.3 Multi Gbps Device-to-Device
The Device-to-Device feature allows two peer devices (two PCs, two tablets, a PC and a tablet, etc.) to
establish a fat IP pipe (> Gbps) to enable all other D2D capabilities.
1.4 Key features

3.2 Dock side installation
3.2.1 Overview
The operational d oc k works without a host (hostless) and boots its F W from an inner flash memory.
When working with the OEM tool a host must be connec ted . The flash should be burned to the
updated version in one of two ways :
1. Over PCIe – A “loc a l” setup, in which the dock is not assem ble d and is attached to a PCIe cable.
The Dock Flash Burning (DFB) tool is used for flashing.
2. Over The Air (OTA) – A “remote” setup, in wh ic h the dock is connected to a c lient that can send
the dock FW upgr a de c ontent OTA using the CU application.
Note:Beta 1.0 did not support OTA FW upgrade. When upgrading f r om this version you m ust
first burn the flash using the DFB tool using the following steps:
1. Connect a host PC to the d oc k over PCIe and install the dock driver.
2. Use the DFB tool to burn the FW.
3. Disc onnect the PCI e from the dock; work hostless.
When the FW version is higher than Beta 1.0, it can be upgraded O T A (see Section
instructions) a nd no dock host insta llation is require d .
