This is the startup guide for SX-ULPAN-2402-EVK, an evaluation board for the
SX-ULPAN-2401 wireless module.
Note: Specifications are subject to change
1. Introduction
The SX-ULPAN is an ultra-compact and low power wireless LAN module with
Qualcomm Atheros QCA4000 series radio. The module provides not only drivers
and supplicants to add WLAN functions to your product, but also other functions
to offload network protocol layers such as IPv4/IPv6, TCP/IP, HTTP, DNS, DHCP,
and so on. This allows MCU (Micro Controller Unit) with limited CPU
performance, ROM, RAM to get reliable Wi-Fi with ultra-low power consumption.
It offers device manufacturers to add reliable Wi-Fi to their tablets or other
IoE/IoT products.
2. Features
IEEE802.11a/b/g/n (2.4GHz,5GHz Dual-Band)
Support for 1 x 1:1 stream, 20MHz bandwidth mode
Onboard PCB antenna (with a U.FL connector for add-on antenna)
Surface mount type
UART as host IF
Security: WPS, WPA, WPA2, TKIP and AES hardware are supported.
IPv4 and TCP/UDP Offload
Offload for upper protocols like simple DHCP clients
