Evaluation kit for IRIS-W1 series modules User guide Abstract The document describes how to set up USB-IRIS-W106 evaluation kits for prototyping USB-IRIS-W106 series modules. It provides setup instructions for starting development and describes the hardware functionality of USB-IRIS-W106 evaluation kit.
Document contains the final product specification. End of life This document applies to the following products: Document status Product name USB-IRIS-W106 Early production information ☞ For information about the hardware, software, and status of the available product types, see the IRIS-W10 data sheet [1].
Product description 1.1 Overview The USB-IRIS-W106 evaluation kit provides stand-alone use of the IRIS-W106 series module. The most essential features of IRIS-W106 series modules are easily accessed from the USB Type-A evaluation board (EVB). A simple USB connection provides power, programming, and COM ports. Two user buttons, RESET and a BOOT are available, as well user LEDs.
Automatic Bootloader/Strap-in Interface pin-out. 2.2 Starting up the EVB Connect the USB-IRIS-W106 stick to the PC to power up the module. • The green status LED (LD1) should be lit to indicate that the internal EVK 3V3 supply is active. •...

USB-IRIS-W10 - User guide Table 1 describes the pin assignments for the needle connector, J3. Pin name IRIS-W10 pin Function +3V3 Supply JTAG-TMS Ground JTAG-TCK No connection JTAG-TDO No connection JTAG-TDI No connection JTAG-nTRST Module reset Table 1: Needle connector J3 Table 2 describes the pin assignments for the Arduino Nano interface, J5.
The EVB can be powered through the options described in Power. When inserted in the USB host or supplied through the VIN NANO interface, the input voltage VBUS (5 V) powers USB-IRIS-W106 EVK. The EVB is populated with a fixed 3.3 V, 3 A step-down converter (TPS62132RGTR), as shown in Figure 4.
USB-IRIS-W10 - User guide Figure 5 shows the IOREF separation circuit in the USB schematic. By default, resistor R51 is not populated. ☞ The VIO supply to the module on USB-IRIS-W1 is hardwired to +3V3 and can’t be changed. Figure 5: USB schematic - IOREF separation •...
USB-IRIS-W10 - User guide 3.3 Reset USB-IRIS-W106 supports a hardware reset to the IRIS-W106 module. The Reset button is connected to the module PDn pin. Figure 7: Reset button 3.4 LEDs The green power LED (D1) is lit to indicate that the board is powered on.
USB-IRIS-W10 - User guide 3.5 Serial communication The evaluation board allows for easy serial communication with the IRIS-W10 module and a connected computer. By default, the USB uses a single FTDI interface IC (U2) that accommodates one COM port. ☞ The single port is connected to module through 1kΩ...
USB-IRIS-W10 - User guide Figure 10 shows the connections and signal state table describing the configuration inputs required to set the boot mode following a reset. The definition of these pins reverts immediately to their usual function after reset. Figure 10: Boot strap connection and signal states 3.7 Debug interfaces There are two interfaces for debugging and programming IRIS-W10: SWD and JTAG.
USB-IRIS-W10 - User guide 3.7.2 JTAG The evaluation board supports a standard JTAG connector and a JTAG needle connector, which serve the same fundamental purpose of providing a connection for Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) interfaces. Standard JTAG interface The standard JTAG debug interface is shown in Figure 12.
USB-IRIS-W10 - User guide 3.8 QSPI SRAM USB-IRIS-W106 provides an option to extend external memory with a Quad SPI SRAM (U3), which can be optionally mounted on the bottom-side of the evaluation board, as shown in Figure Figure 14: QSPI memory Table 6 describes the pin assignment and interface functions of each QSPI memory signals.
