u-blox EVK-IRIS-W10 Evaluation Kits

u-blox EVK-IRIS-W10 Evaluation Kits allow for stand-alone use of the IRIS-W10 series module. The EVK-IRIS-W10 board supports all pins and interfaces on IRIS-W10 series modules, resulting in easy accessibility. Simple USB connections serve as the physical interfaces for the power, programming COM ports, debugging, and USB peripheral connectors. Additionally, the u-blox EVK-IRIS-W10 features other interfaces like Ethernet RJ45 and an SDIO header. The EVK-IRIS-W10 board has a Reset, Boot, and two user-configurable buttons. Current sense resistors are incorporated for accurate, current measurement within the module.

The u-blox USB-IRIS-W1 development platform is assembled on the dual-band Wi-Fi® 6 and BLUETOOTH® LE module IRIS-W1, based on the NXP RW610/612 chip. The board has a USB interface to facilitate evaluation and prototyping directly from a PC. In addition to the IRIS-W1 module with an integrated antenna, it also incorporates four buttons, an RGB LED, and a USB/UART converter to support an easy evaluation further.
