Selects whether the 32.768 kHz LPO oscillator is connected to Not mounted oscillator ODIN-W2 or not ODIN-W2 Boot Selects whether to force ODIN-W2 into Boot mode or not Not mounted Table 1: EVK-ODIN-W2 jumper description 1.4 LEDs Function Description Name Color RGB/SPA status RGB LED shows status for u-connectXpress.
USB connector Table 3: EVK-ODIN-W2 connector description On the EVK-ODIN-W2 evaluation board, there are two sets of connectors for accessing the ODIN-W2 pins. The socket connectors (J2, J3, and J4) placed closely to the board edges are connected to ODIN- W2 through level shifters and have 3.3 V I/O level.
Refer to ODIN-W2 series System Integration Manual [1] for information about pin assignment. Buttons The EVK-ODIN-W2 evaluation board has three buttons. All these buttons are directly connected to pins on the ODIN-W2 module. The SW0 and SW1 buttons are grounded only when pressed; otherwise they float.
EVK-ODIN-W2 - User guide 1.9 Configurations options 1.9.1 UART selection for virtual COM port It is possible to select either UART1 or UART3 to be relayed through the onboard debugger as a virtual COM port available at the USB connector.
1.9.4 SWD Cortex debug connector The EVK-ODIN-W2 has an onboard ST-Link v2.1 debugger. You can also connect an external debugger to the ODIN-W2 module via the 10-pin SWD Cortex debug connector J25. The onboard debugger should be enabled (jumper on position J6 mounted) even if using an external debugger.
32.768 kHz LPO oscillator There is an onboard 32.768 kHz oscillator on the EVK-ODIN-W2. The output signal of this oscillator can be connected to ODIN-W2 by putting a jumper on pin header J21. The LPO is used for the Wi-Fi chip to enable entering low power modes.
You should install the ST-link utility and drivers before connecting the USB cable to your PC. ⚠ There can be some issues while using the EVK-ODIN-W2 with Windows 10. To avoid these issues, upgrade the ST-link firmware on the debug chip and make sure that you have the latest USB mass storage device driver.
Usage with UART flow control To set up the EVK-ODIN-W2 evaluation board for use with the u-blox connectivity software and flow control, see Table 4 for pin description. If you require the USB interface, a Serial to USB FTDI cable can be used on the headers in the 1.8 V I/O domain.

EVK-ODIN-W2 - User guide Appendix Updating the ST-link software Due to an incompatibility between the ST-link software in the debug chip and Windows 10, the EVKs produced before December 01, 2016 will not work with Windows 10. Connecting them to a PC running Windows 10 will corrupt the bootloader of ODIN-W2 and the EVK will stop working.
