UBX-20030840 - R02 Specifications Page 8 of 29 EVK-JODY-W3 - User guide 3 Getting started This chapter describes the basic settings and procedures necessary to get started with the JODYW3 EVK. Figure 1 shows an overview of the EVK and its main connectors. For more detailed description of the available connectors and configuration options, see section 4 . Follow the procedure below to evaluate JODY-W3 series module using EVK-JODY-W3: 1. Connect the internal or external antennas to the EVK: o EVK-JODY-W374 uses the two internal dual-band antennas by default for any Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication. o EVK-JODY-W377 uses one of the internal antennas by default for Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi is configured to use SMA connectors. o The two included external antennas connect to the selected SMA connectors, SMA1 and SMA2, on the EVK-JODY-W377 board. For more information about the antenna configuration, see also section 4.10 2. Set DIP switch SW503 to select the host interfaces for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth from the possible combinations PCIE-UART, SDIO-UART or SDIO-SDIO, as described in section 4.9. 3. Configure the power supply source as described in section 4.3 and shown in Table 5. The most common configuration uses the Wi-Fi host interface as the supply source, which can be either PCIe or SDIO. 4. Connect the host interfaces to the host system. The EVK and supplied PCIe and SDIO adapters use zero insertion force (ZIF) connectors and flat cables for connecting the adapters. To connect the cable, gently flip up the small locking flap of the connector, align and insert the flat cable with the blue marking pointing upwards, and then close the locking flap. o For PCIe connection, choose either the M.2 or the mini-PCIe adapter depending on the available connector on the host platform. First, plug the adapter into the PCIe connector on the host system and then connect it with the flat cable to the connector (J203) on the EVK, as shown in Figure 2. The PCIe interface can be used for Wi-Fi communication with the JODY-W3 series UBX-20030840 - R02 Getting started Page 9 of 29 module. EVK-JODY-W3 - User guide Figure 2: PCIe and USB connectors o For SDIO connection, connect the micro SDIO adapter card with the flat cable to the SDIO connector (J204) on the EVK as shown in Figure 3 and insert the adapter card into an SDIO connector of the host system. The SDIO interface can be used for Wi-Fi, and optionally UBX-20030840 - R02 Getting started Page 10 of 29 EVK-JODY-W3 - User guide Bluetooth, communication with the JODY-W3 series module. Figure 3: SDIO connector o A high speed UART interface can be used for Bluetooth communication with the JODY-W3 series module. A USB-to-UART bridge is included on the evaluation board. To use the Bluetooth interface through USB, connect the included USB cable to the USB type-C connector on the EVK (see Figure 2) and connect it to a USB interface on the host system. Make sure that jumper J400 is bridged (default setting) to enable Bluetooth communication over USB. Refer to section 4.6 for information how to access the UART interface for Bluetooth directly. 5. Power on the host system. The LEDs on the EVK for the different voltage levels should turn green to indicate proper power supply. At this point the module should be detected by the host system. 6. Install the necessary driver software for the JODY-W3 series module as described in the System integration manual [2].

UBX-20030840 - R02 Board description Page 24 of 29 EVK-JODY-W3 - User guide Appendix A Known issues The following issues are known with the latest version of the EVK. · The USB interface for Bluetooth does not work in the case of VIO=1.8 V, power supply over PCIe and the USB cable plugged into the host before the host PCIe initialization. To work around this issue, use external power supplies or plug the USB cable only after PCI initialization. · When using the EVK-JODY-W3 with NXP i.MX8 series platforms, the SDIO interface cannot be used to draw the power for the module. To work around this issue, draw power through USB or external power supplies. · Reset buttons SW500, SW501 are not working properly. This issue is to be addressed for the next board revision. For more information about known issues, recommendations and solutions, contact your local u-blox support team.
