Part Description Outline Evaluation board (EVB) Evaluation board for the MAYA-W2 series modules.
2 x Dual band Wi-Fi/Bluetooth antenna, Linx Technologies ANT-DB1-RAF-SMA (EVK-MAYA-W271) Table 2: EVK-MAYA-W2 component list 1.3 Software MAYA-W2 series modules are based on the NXP IW611/IW612 chipsets. The open-source drivers and firmware required to operate MAYA-W2 series modules are developed by NXP and are already integrated into the Linux and Android BSP for the NXP i.MX application processors...
Supported operating systems: Linux (3.x/4.x/5.x) Android FreeRTOS™ (through NXP MCUXpresso) 1.5 Operating conditions Table 3 describes the recommended operating conditions for the EVK-MAYA-W2. For more information about power supply requirements, see also the MAYA-W2 series data sheet [1]. Symbol Parameter Min. Max.
(J13) Figure 2: Evaluation board of EVK-MAYA-W261 overview showing main connectors Follow the procedure below to evaluate MAYA-W2 series module using EVK-MAYA-W2: Connect the external antennas to EVK-MAYA-W271. Two external dual-band antennas for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication are included in the EVK, which must be connected to the SMA connectors (J10 and J11) on the evaluation board.
Bluetooth host interface. EVK-MAYA-W2 can optionally be connected to a host system through an M.2 Key E host socket. M.2 sockets with mechanical Key E are used on several host platforms, including platforms based on NXP MPUs and MCUs that support wireless connectivity modules based on NXP Wi-Fi/Bluetooth radios.

EVK-MAYA-W2 - User guide 3.3.2 VIO configuration The VIO and VIO_SD voltages for the MAYA-W2 module can be selected from the 1.8 V or 3.3 V board supplies by placing jumpers between the board and VIO supply pins on J8. The default configuration is to use 1.8 V for both VIO (3-4) and VIO_SD (7-8).
EVK-MAYA-W2 - User guide 3.5 Host interface connectors The EVB can be connected to a host system with the included SD card or M.2 card adapters. A USB connector is provided to access the Bluetooth UART through a USB-to-UART bridge. The SPI interface for 802.15.4 is provided on a pin header.
EVK-MAYA-W2 - User guide The M.2 interface signals M2_UART_WAKE#, M2_W_DISABLE1#, and M2_W_DISABLE2# use 3.3 V signal voltage with voltage translators on the EVB. See Schematics for details. All other signals are powered from the board VIO voltage.

EVK-MAYA-W2 - User guide The SPI interface supports a maximum clock speed of 25 MHz. The SPI pins are shared with the external PTA coexistence interface of MAYA-W2. Table 7 describes the function of the pins on J13 in SPI and PTA modes.
EVK-MAYA-W2 - User guide 3.6 Bluetooth audio interface For Bluetooth voice applications, MAYA-W2 EVB includes a MAX9860 16-bit audio codec that connects to the PCM/I2S interface of the module. It also includes a 3.5 mm audio jack (J16) for connecting a headset. The MAX9860 codec is driven by 19.2 MHz master clock (MCLK) and is completely controlled through software using an I2C interface.
J12. The external PTA coexistence interface of MAYA-W2 is shared with the SPI pins on J13 as described in Table Figure 13: Host interface configuration, RF control, and WCI-2 coexistence interfaces (J12) 3.10 LEDs Table 11 describes the function and designation of the available LEDs on the EVK-MAYA-W2 evaluation board.
