Furthermore, the steps for hardware and firmware integration to replace an existing Tarvos- III/Telesto-III/Thebe-II/Themisto-I radio module by a Thyone-I radio module are described. For reasons of simplicity, in the whole document we use the term sub-GHz pro- prietary module instead of listing the modules Tarvos-III, Telesto-III, Thebe-II and Themisto-I.

ANR022 - Radio module cross migration guide 4 Replacing by the Thyone-I The Tarvos-III, Telesto-III, Thebe-II and Themisto-I is a family of sub-GHz proprietary radio modules that share the same footprint. This chapter describes how to use the adapter board mentioned in chapter 3 to replace one of the mentioned sub-GHz proprietary modules by a Thyone-I 2.4 GHz module.

The internal PCB antenna of Thyone-I module on adapter board can be used only if the no metal area in footprint is implemented on the host PCB. The Tarvos-III and Telesto-III are available in two hardware variants. The first variant provides the radio signal at the ANT pin.
The MODE_1 pin is used on the sub-GHz proprietary module and MODE_1 MODE_1 Thyone-I module to determine the mode of operation during boot up. RESERVED RESERVED RESERVED /RESET /RESET Reset pin LED1 /TX_IND LED2 /RX_IND Version 1.1, July 2023 www.we-online.com/wcs...
IC to switch between the on-board PCB-antenna of the Thyone-I mod- ule and the external RF PAD connection. Due to which the adapter board differs from the trace design and is not approved to be FCC and IC compliant. Version 1.1, July 2023 www.we-online.com/wcs...
Third layer is the supply layer, except antenna free area. Some routing is allowed, not dividing the supply layer in to many or too small parts. Bottom layer is used for routing and filled with ground. Version 1.1, July 2023 www.we-online.com/wcs...
– If additional tuning is needed in the end application, C21 and C26 can be assembled. – The exact values of C21 and C26 shall be specified in the end application corre- sponding to the individual need. Figure 11: External antenna connection Version 1.1, July 2023 www.we-online.com/wcs...
The transparent modes on both modules have the same function. Only the trigger that starts the radio transmission of data may differ. There are several options such as: Transmit radio data after timeout Transmit radio data after ETX character has been received via UART Version 1.1, July 2023 www.we-online.com/wcs...

firmware update via the UART interface. The boot mode is started by pulling the BOOT pin of the radio module to the respective pin level during the reset. To do so, the level of the BOOT pin must be LOW on the Thyone-I. HIGH on the sub-GHz proprietary module. Version 1.1, July 2023 www.we-online.com/wcs...
If the Boot pin is hardwired on the Host PCB, adapter board design shall be modified by inte- grating an inverter IC on the BOOT pin of the Thyone-I module. Figure 12: Boot pin modification Version 1.1, July 2023 www.we-online.com/wcs...
