3 Introduction
The DA16200 GUI tool lets users control the DA16200 EVK in a GUI environment. There are three
modes of operation: Certification mode, Network mode, and OTP mode (see Figure 1).
Figure 1: DA16200 EVK GUI
3.1 Certification Mode
This mode is for Wi-Fi RF test (Tx power, Rx sensitivity, and so on) also known as “TEST Mode”.
3.2 Network Mode
With Network mode, the Station or AP mode of the DA16200 is tested.
●AP mode: Soft-AP test with configurable parameters like SSID, security, DHCP Server, and so
on
●Station mode: STA test to search and connect to an Access Point and check/test the STA
function
After the network mode is set, the user can test the TCP/UDP or the MQTT and manage the TLS
certificates.
●Data Transfer: message exchange through the TCP Server/Client, and UDP session
●MQTT Client: message exchange through the MQTT protocol
●TLS Setting: management of TLS certificate that is set (e.g. Root CA, Client Certificate, Client
Private Key)
3.3 OTP Mode
This mode is for power calibration and temperature calibration with OTP memory location.

4 How to Connect
4.1 USB to Serial Driver
The DA16200 evaluation board supports USB to serial interface. The user connects to DA16200
EVK with the PC through a micro-USB cable and then two COM ports will be detected automatically.
One (UART0) is for console command and the other (UART1) is for AT command. Normally, the
higher number COM port is for AT commands and the lower number COM port is for the console.
●Required the FT232 Driver installation for Windows
○In most cases, it will be installed automatically
The FTDI driver for the FT2232 FTDI chip used on DA16200 EVK is available for download at the
following link: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/CDM21224_Setup.zip
●See the EVK User Guide [3] to find information about the UART1 port. AT GUI tool uses UART1
port
●To update with a new DA16200 firmware, see the DA16200 EVK User Guide [3]
5 DA16200 SDK or Firmware Selection
There are several types of SDK and firmware for DA16200 such as Generic and Manufacture that
can be found in DA16200 SDK/Image packages. Consider the kinds of tests you plan to determine
which SDK or firmware should be picked up.
●Certification or OTP Mode:
○SDK: DA16200_SDK_Manufacture_QFN_xxx.zip
○Firmware: DA16200_IMG_Manufacture_QFN
●Network Mode:
○SDK: DA16200_SDK_Generic_QFN xxx.zip
–The __SUPPORT_ATCMD__ where can be found in config_generic_sdk.h file should be
enabled.
[\apps\da16200\get_started\inc\config_generic_sdk.h]
// AT-CMD features
#define __SUPPORT_ATCMD__ // Support AT-CMD
○Firmware: ATCMD firmware should be picked such as
DA16200_IMG_Generic_QFN_ATCMD, DA16200_IMG_Generic_FcCSP_LP_ATCMD or
DA16200_IMG_Generic_FcCSP_NP_ATCMD depending on SoC package type

6 How to Run GUI with DA16200 EVK
6.1 Connection and Running
DA16200 AT GUI program is a single executable file.
NOTE
If there is an error with the message “a DLL file (e.g. vcruntime140.dll or mfc1400u.dll) is missing”, then install
Microsoft Visual Studio redistributable package (https://www.microsoft.com/en-
us/download/details.aspx?id=48145) or copy the .dll file into the Windows system folder
(C:\Windows\System32 or C:\Windows\SysWOW64).
The program setup sequence is:
1. Connect the DA16200 Development Kit to the host PC as shown in
2.
3. Figure 2.
Figure 2: Development Kit Connections
NOTE
See the EVK User Guide [3] to know which port to use.

6.2 COM Port and Baud Rate Configuration
1. When the AT GUI program runs, the connection status is red (not connected). If the program
does not detect any COM port, click the Refresh button to refresh the COM Port. See Figure 4.
Figure 4: RS232 Setup –Disconnected
2. Select a COM port and click the OPEN button and wait for a few seconds. See Figure 5 and
Figure 6.
○The connection status will soon change to a green color and the Connection Status field
shows “Connected” in a green color. This means that communication is OK
Figure 5: RS232 Setup –Connected
○In the Debug Console window (in the black box), the message “Echo on” is shown

6.4 TX Test Mode
1. Open the Certification Mode tab. See Figure 8.
Figure 8: Tx Test Mode Configuration
2. Click the Mode Select button (Figure 8). A confirmation message is shown as in Figure 9. This is
a normal state.
Figure 9: Debug Console –TX Mode
3. Select the Data Rate, Channel, and Power for the purpose of the test.
○Packet mode: this is the normal test mode with packet generation mode. Offers the
possibility to adjust duty of RF Burst at time domain
○Cont mode: Continuous TX out mode. This mode is for TX power test and so on. In this
mode, TX packet is generated continuously over 95% duty cycle
○CW mode: Only single sinewave tone out mode. This mode is for freq err check
○Data Rate: Choose modulation type to test
○Power: Select or tune the power level. (“0” step is Maximum). The difference between power
steps is about 0.8~1 dB/1step
○Size: You can adjust the duty rate with this number. However, the size is not linear as the
number, so to set the exact number you need equipment like a spectrum analyzer to check
the value. (Equipment setting is set to zero span setting or burst mode setting)

Transfer tab. If DA16200 succeeds to connect to an AP, the IP address will be filled in.
See Figure 24.
Figure 24: Data Transfer Tab
The DA16200 provides three kinds of sessions: TCP server, TCP client, and UDP session. The user
can use these three simultaneously.
7.3.1 TCP Server
To use TCP server, fill in a port number and click the Connect button on the TCP Server line. When
a server is opened, the Xwill change to O. See Figure 25.
Figure 25: TCP Server Open
The user can connect to the DA16200 TCP server with tools for data exchange like the IO Ninja.
When a client connects successfully, its information will be shown as in Figure 26. The DA16200
TCP server can accept up to eight client sessions.
