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 the process of starting a project with the DA16200
or the DA16600.
This document provides step by step guides to get started using the EVKs and SDKs by providing
details on:
●The DA16200 and DA16600 Evaluation Kit hardware (see Section 4)
●How to connect to the EVKs (see Section 4.4)
●How to download firmware to the DA16200/600 (see Section 4.5)
●How to provision and test the Wi-Fi connection (see Section 4.6)
●How to install the development tools (see Section 5)
●How to install the SDK (see Section 5.6)
●How to build an application (see Section 5.7)
●How to debug an application (see Section 5.9)
●How to perform various test procedures to demonstrate the capabilities of the DA16200/600 (see
Section 6)
Once completing these steps, 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 DA16200/600 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 Host Interface and AT Command User Manual Ref. [6]
●UM-WI-038 DA16200 Getting Started with AT-Command for AWS-IoT Ref. [7]
If the Wi-Fi solution being developed requires special functions or it is a standalone solution using
only the DA16200/600, then the SDK can be used to develop a new firmware image for that solution.
For more 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]
●UM-WI-055 DA16200 Example Application Guide Ref. [3]

P6 –Jumpers for
RTC_WAKE_UP1
Pin for connecting the external control signal with MCU.
For normal operation, this jumper should be shorted.
P8 –Jumpers for
RTC_PWR_KEY
Pin for connecting the external control signal with MCU.
For normal operation, this jumper should be shorted.
11
P1 –External VDD
External VDD (3.3V) can be supplied to the P1 pins.
For normal operation, this jumper should be shorted.
P2 –Jumper to measure
current consumption of the
DA16200
Pin for current measurement.
For normal operation, this pin should be shorted.
- Pull out the Short Pin cap and use jumper wires to
connect to the measuring equipment.

Table 2: DA16200 EVK Switch Description
Note 1 By default, the SPI interface is configured to support firmware download through the FT2232H. See
section 4.7 for details on how to configure the EVK to support AT Command processing from an MCU
directly connected to the SPI interface.
The current consumption can be measured at jumper P2 with current measuring equipment. See
Section 6.5 for details 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 6.5.2.
For more details on the DA16200 EVK see the DA16200 DEVKT Electric Schematic Ref. [11].

and set pins 1 and 2 of SW9 to the ON position.
To measure the current consumption of DA16200, remove the jumper on P2 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.

4.4 Connecting to the EVKs
4.4.1 Configuring the DA16200/600 Serial Debug Interface
The DA16200/600 provides a command/debug interface on UART0 for performing configuration and
diagnostic functions.
When the EVK is connected to the USB port (CN6 on the DA16200 EVK or CN1 on the DA16600
EVK), 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, If the ftdi serial driver was not installed automatically, the driver can be downloaded from
the following URL and install manually:
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 is for the DA16200/600 debug interface.
The higher numbered COM port is for the DA16200/600 ATCMD interface.
NOTE
On the DA16600 the higher numbered COM port can also be configured as the DA14531 serial debug
interface. See section 4.4.2.
A serial terminal application that supports Y-Modem is required to download the firmware to the
DA16200.
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 EVK (CN6
on DA16200 EVK or CN1 on DA16600 EVK) 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 the DA14531 Serial Debug Interface (DA16600 EVK Only)
This section is for DA16600 only and is required for special cases where access to the DA14531 BLE
devices debug terminal is required.
The DA16600 EVK contains the DA14531 BLE device which is used for provisioning of the DA16600
Wi-Fi interface using a mobile application.
On the DA16600 EVK, 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, SW4, SW5, SW6 and SW7 must be set as follows:

4.5 Updating the Firmware
When first receiving an EVK, the firmware must be updated to the latest version.
Prebuilt versions of the firmware for DA16200 and DA16600 can be downloaded from the Renesas
Electronics’ website. Go to the Renesas website and scroll down to the Software Downloads section.
Find “DA16200 DA16600 FreeRTOS SDK Image” or type it in the search box, and then select the
firmware and download.
Alternately, the DA16200/600 SDK can be used to rebuild the firmware images as described in
Section 5.
There are two firmware images for the DA16200:
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:
DA16600_FBOOT-GEN01-01-834dea5b8_AT25SL321.img

4.5.2 Firmware Update Using the Terra Term Script (Windows Only)
For Windows users, the firmware images can be downloaded automatically using a terra term script
as follows:
1. Once terra term is running and connected to the DA16200/600, open the Control tab, and select
the Macro menu item.
When the MACRO: Open Macro file selection window opens, navigate to the directory where the
firmware images are stored and select the .ttl file (see Figure 4).
Figure 4: Open the Macro File
2. After opening the macro file, the DA16200/600 will reset, and the BOOT firmware image is
downloaded (see Figure 5).
