Added xPico Wi-Fi module information. August 2013 Updated pin number information. December 2014 Updated Lantronix evaluation board information; added the new evaluation board schematic for SMT part with on-module antenna. May 2019 Clarified that RS485 is not available on the xPico Wi-Fi.
Introduction About this Guide This guide provides the information needed to use the Lantronix® xPico® embedded device server with the evaluation kit. The intended audience is the engineers responsible for integrating the xPico and xPico Wi-Fi into their product. In this document, “xPico” refers to all xPico Ethernet only modules, “xPico Wi-Fi”...
U.FL cable Evaluation Board Description The xPico Wi-Fi evaluation board provides a test platform for the Lantronix xPico device server products. The evaluation board uses either 5V power from a USB device port connector or power supplied to the Ethernet connector via PoE (XPW100100K-01 only). The evaluation board also provides a header for connection to a 2.2V to 5.5V external source, such as a...
2: Evaluation Kit USB device port. (Currently available on xPico Wi-Fi only) LEDs for the xPico Ethernet, WLAN, and System status outputs along with two additional LEDs that can be driven via jumper wire are provided. Access to all logic level IO signals on the xPico via header pins for measurements and connections to other places.

2: Evaluation Kit Ref Des. Connector/Header Function Module Power Jumper Allows for voltage measurement of the xPico module current sense resistor. The current sense resistor is 0.301 ohms. Default Button Jumper Allows access to module reset to default signal and SW1 push button. Install to use SW1 as reset to default button.
2: Evaluation Kit Ref Des. Connector/Header Function JP18 Serial Port 2 Signal Header Provides access to the module second serial port. The signals on this header have been buffered by an RS232 transceiver. JP19 External Power Header Provides connection point for an external 2.2V to 5.5V power source, such as a battery. This is connected to a 3.3V step up/down regulator that will power the evaluation board and module circuitry.
2: Evaluation Kit All of the xPico module serial port signals can be used as configurable pins. Jumper headers JP17, JP8 and JP9 have been included to allow for each of the serial port signals to be connected or disconnected from the serial port transceiver. The tables below list the JP17, JP8, and JP9 serial port signal connections.
2: Evaluation Kit Figure 2-3 JP8, JP9, and JP17 Headers Antenna Port The xPico evaluation boards (XPW100100K-01 and XPCW1002100K ) includes a bracket for mounting the U.FL to Reverse Polarity SMA RF cable included with the kit. Follow the procedure below when installing the antenna cable. The same procedure applies when using the PCB strip antenna, with the exception that the swivel antenna does not need to be connected to the RF cable.
2: Evaluation Kit Ethernet Port The xPico evaluation board XPW100100K-01 includes one RJ45 with on-board magnetics for connection to the xPico module 10/100Mbps Ethernet interface. Connector J2 is the Ethernet port. Note: The Ethernet port is functional for xPico Ethernet modules only. Power Supply The evaluation board provides several options for input power.
2: Evaluation Kit LEDs The xPico evaluation board includes several LEDs for signal and unit status. The table below lists all of the LEDs and their functions. Table 2-11 LEDs Signals J1 Pin LED Ref Color LED Function Design LED1 Orange xPico Status LED blinks with patterns indicating module status.
