3 Overview
The DA16200/DA16600 is a highly integrated ultra-low power Wi-Fi system on chip (SoC) that allows
users to develop Wi-Fi solutions using a single chip.
Evaluation Kits and SDKs are provided to simplify theprocess of starting aproject with the DA16200
or the DA16600.
This document provides step by step guides to start using the Evaluation Kit (EVK) and SDK by
providing details on:
●The DA16200 and DA16600 EVK hardware (see Section 4)
●How to connect to the Evaluation board (EVB) (see Section 4.4)
●How to program firmware images to the DA16200/DA16600 (see Section 4.5)
●How to provision and test the Wi-Fi connection (see Section 4.6)
●How to install the development tools, build anapplication, program firmware images in e2studio
(see Section 5)
●How to debug an application (see Section 5.6)
●How to perform various test procedures to demonstrate the capabilities of theDA16200/DA16600
(see Section 6)
Once completing thesesteps, the EVK and development environment are ready for developing a
complete Wi-Fi solution.
If the Wi-Fi solution being developed is based on a host MCU that uses the DA16200/DA16600 only
as a Wi-Fi communication interface through AT Commands, then a prebuilt firmware image can be
used to develop that solution. For details on how to use AT Commands see the following documents:
●UM-WI-003 DA16200 DA16600 Host Interface and AT Command User Manual Ref. [5]
●UM-WI-038 DA16200 DA16600 Getting Started with AT Command for AWS-IoT Ref. [6]
If the Wi-Fi solution being developed requires special functions or it is a standalone solution using
only the DA16200/DA16600, then the SDK can be used to develop a new firmware image forthat
solution. Formore details on how to use the SDK to develop an application, see the following
documents:
●UM-WI-046 DA16200 DA16600 FreeRTOS SDK Programmer Guide Ref. [2]

section4.7 for detailson how to configure the EVB to supportAT CommandprocessingfromanMCU
directlyconnectedto the SPI interface.
The current consumption can be measured at P2 jumper with current measuring equipment. See
Section 6.5 fordetails on the test setup. When DA16200 EVK Pro is used for measuring current
consumption, the P1 jumper must be removed. For more information on DA16200 EVK Pro, see

The current consumption canbe measured at jumpers P1 and P2 with current measuring equipment.
See Section 6.5 for details on the test setup.
When DA16600 EVK Pro is used for measuring current consumption, removejumpers P1 and P2
and set pins 1 and 2 of SW9 to the ON position. To measure the current consumption of DA16200,
remove the jumper onP2 and turn ON pin1 of SW9. To measure the current consumption of
DA14531, remove the jumper on P1 and turn ON pin2 of SW9. The current consumption of the
DA16200 and the DA14531 can be measured simultaneously.
For more information on the DA16600 EVB, see the DA16600 DEVKT Electric Schematic Ref. [10].

4.4 Connecting to EVB
4.4.1 Configuring DA16200/DA16600 Serial Debug Interface
The DA16200/DA16600 provides a command/debug interface on UART0 for performing
configuration and diagnostic functions. When the EVB is connected to the USB port (CN6 on the
DA16200 EVB or CN1 on the DA16600 EVB), two virtual COM ports are created.
●On Windows, the two COM ports are displayed in the device manager (see Figure 3).
Figure 3: Windows - COM Ports
NOTE
On Windows, ifthe FTDI serial driverwas not installedautomatically,the drivercanbe downloaded
from thefollowingURL andinstallmanually:
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/CDM21224_Setup.zip
●On Linux, the COM ports are created in the /dev directory as ttyUSBxdevices.
$
$ ls -l /dev/ttyU* List the available ttyUSB serial
ports.
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Aug 25 10:26 /dev/ttyUSB0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 1 Aug 25 10:26 /dev/ttyUSB1
$
The lower numbered COM port (COM5 in Figure 3) is for the DA16200/DA16600 debug interface.
The higher numbered COM port is for the DA16200/DA16600 ATCMD interface.
NOTE
On the DA16600the highernumbered COMportcan also be configured astheDA14531 serialdebug
interface.See Section 4.4.2.
A serial terminal application can be used fordebugging DA16200/DA16600.
For Windows, the Tera Term terminal emulator program is recommended and can be downloaded
from: https://ttssh2.osdn.jp. For Linux, the minicom terminal emulation program is recommended
and can be installed using:
$
$ sudo apt install minicom Command to install minicom.
$
Once the terminal emulation application has been installed, Connect the USB cable to the EVB (CN6
on DA16200 EVB or CN1 on DA16600 EVB) and start the terminal emulation program.
In the terminal emulation program, go to the Serial Port Setup and select the lower number COM
port and configure it as follows:

4.4.2 Configuring DA14531 Serial Debug Interface
This sectionis forDA16600 only and is required forspecial cases where access to the DA14531 BLE
devices debug terminal is required.
The DA16600 EVB contains the DA14531 BLE device which is used for provisioning of theDA16600
Wi-Fi interface using a mobile application. On the DA16600 EVB, the DA14531 debug interface can
be connected to the higher numbered COM port that is created when the USB cable is connected to
CN1.
To enable the DA14531 debug interface, follow the settings below for SW4, SW5, SW6 and SW7.

4.5 Programming Firmware Images
When using an EVB forthe first time, the firmware must be updated to the latest version.
Prebuilt versions of thefirmware for DA16200 and DA16600 can be downloaded from the Renesas
Electronics’ website. Go to the Renesas website (https://www.renesas.com/us/en/products/wireless-
connectivity/wi-fi/low-power-wi-fi) and scroll downto the Software Downloads section. Find “DA16200
DA16600 FreeRTOS SDK Image” ortype it in the search box, and then select the firmware and
download. Alternately, the DA16200/DA16600 SDK can be used to rebuild the firmware images as
described in Section 5.
There are two firmware images fortheDA16200:
DA16200_FBOOT-GEN01-01-834dea5b8_W25Q32JW.img
DA16200_FRTOS-GEN01-01-866facc56-000000.img
There are three firmware images for the DA16600 since it also requires the DA14531 firmware
image:
