1. Functional Description
The US159-DA16200MEVZ functions as a Wi-Fi wireless building block to create a custom IoT system solution.
This module adds Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz connectivity capability to any IoT system that supports Pmod
expansion modules. Visit the Renesas website for more details on the DA16200 Wi-Fi SoC Module.
2. Setup
2.1 Required or Recommended User Equipment
The following additional lab equipment is recommended for using the board (and is sold separately):
▪ Any MCU board that supports Type 3A Pmod.
2.2 Software Installation and Usage
For the latest version of the e2 studio, use the Renesas website, and for the latest connectivity support and details
on creating customized IoT system solutions, visit the Quick-Connect IoT site.
The Renesas Flexible Software Package (FSP) is an enhanced software package that provides easy-to-use,
scalable, high-quality software for embedded system designs using the Renesas RA family of Arm
Microcontrollers. With the support of a new Arm TrustZone and other advanced security features, FSP provides a
quick and versatile way to build secure, connected IoT devices using production-ready drivers, Azure RTOS,
FreeRTOS, and other middleware stacks.
The firmware for operating the module with a Renesas EK-RA6M4 evaluation kit is pre-loaded on the
US159-DA16200MEVZ Pmod module.
For more details on the application, see the guide, Wi-Fi Enabled Cloud IoT Solution Kit Quick Start Guide.
2.3 Kit Hardware Connections
Follow these procedures to set up the kit as shown on Figure 2.
1. Ensure the MCU evaluation kit being used has a Pmod connector set to Type 3A. (For help, refer to the kit
hardware manual.)
2. Plug in the US159-DA16200MEVZ to the Pmod connector on the MCU evaluation kit, and be careful to align
Pin 1 on the module to Pin 1 on the MCU kit.
3. The US159-DA16200MEVZ is now ready to be used in the system. Follow the MCU kit instructions for
connecting and powering up the evaluation kit.
