2 WINCS02 mikroBUS™ board

To connect to WiFi with the EV89U05A kit, it is recommended to integrate the Microchip WINCS02 mikroBUS™ compatible board with the CryptoAuth Pro Trust Platform. The WINCS02 board contains the Microchip WINCS02PC module, which supports IEEE® 802.11 b/g/n protocols. The board connects to the CryptoAuth Pro Trust Platform board via the mikroBUS extension headers and communicates with the microcontroller through the SPI interface. It is recommended that the MB2 extension header be used for the WINCS02 connection; however, the MB1 header can be used if necessary. Microchip’s examples are designed to utilize the MB2 extension header. The WINCS02 can be reset via the reset signal on the mikroBUS board, which is connected to the host microcontroller. Additionally, the WINCS02 supports an interrupt signal connected to the microcontroller.

Specific TPDS use cases have been developed to support the development of applications operating with the Kudelski SaaS IoT infrastructure and tools. Power for the WINCS02 board is supplied through the mikroBUS extension header MB2, and the power to the overall system only requires the USB power connector. A view of the CryptoAuth Pro Trust Platform board with the WINCS02 mikroBUS board connected to MB2 is shown below.
