1. Kits Overview
This user's guide describes the development kits of the Si106x Wireless MCU family. The latest version of this user
guide is available online at http://www.silabs.com/products/wireless/wirelessmcu/Pages/default.aspx. Each kit
contains two RF nodes based on the Wireless Motherboard to support evaluation and development of sub-GHz RF
links with the different Wireless MCUs. WMCU pico board content of the different kits is listed in Table 1, and
content common to all the kits is listed in Table 2.

Page 3: Hardware Setup
Si106x-DK 3. Hardware Setup After checking the kit contents against Tables 1 and 2, the kit can be put into operation by performing the steps listed below. Figure 1. Wireless Motherboard Top Markings 1. Insert a WMCU Pico Board in connectors J5, J6, J7, J8 on the Wireless Motherboard (WMB). Align the triangle symbol on the WMCU Pico board with the triangle symbol on the WMB. - Page 4 Si106x-DK Repeat steps 1 to 9 for the other node of the kit. The two nodes are now ready for evaluation. For more details about the board's operation, see "6. The Wireless Motherboard Hardware Platform" on page 7 and "7. Board Schematics"...

- Page 10 Si106x-DK Table 4 lists the functions and connections of the WMCU GPIOs. Primary functions are factory-connected on the WMB. Secondary functions can be connected by desoldering a 0 resistor that connects the primary function and soldering in to the proper position to connect the secondary function. Because of the limited number of MCU GPIOs of the WMCU, LEDs and pushbutton switches are connected to the EBID MCU of the WMB912 and can be accessed via the SMBUS on P1.4 and P1.5 of the WMCU.
