RAM
256Mbit (32MB) of 16-bit 333MHz double data rate (DDR) SDRAM.
Flash
64 Mbit (8MB) of 3V supply Flash memory.
Mini-PCI
Mini-PCI is an adaptation of PCI standard for small devices. It is functionally equivalent to PCI version
2.2. WBD-111 board has 1 Type III Mini-PCI socket (MP in the picture above) and supports 3.3V
cards. High power radio cards with up to 5W in power usage are supported.
Ethernet
10/100 Base-TX Ethernet port features automatic MDI/MDIX switching, full duplex 10/100 Base-TX
operation with auto-negotation, electrostatic discarge (ESD) protection rated at 6 kV, accepts power
over Ethernet (PoE functionality) with 9-18V voltage power injectors.
LEDs
Device has 2 green LEDs (see picture above): L1 – power LED, L2 - LAN activity LED and 2
multicolor red and green LEDs which are GPIO controlled. LAN LED is turned on when Ethernet cable
is connected and blinks when activity is detected on Ethernet port.
CPU GPIO port LED is on, when GPIO=1
GPIO0_1 L3 red (R)
GPIO0_2 L4 green (G)
GPIO0_3 L4 red (R)
GPIO0_5 L3 green (G)
Reset button
Software reset button (RB in the picture above) allows to upgrade firmware via TFTP, reset software
to default configuration. For more information refer to section 5 below.

Jumpers
Jumpers J1 and J2 provide access to processor's GPIO pins, TTL level serial port and USB port.
Jumpers are positioned to allow easy connection and stacking of optional daughterboards. They
have pin #1 marked with a small copper square on a PCB.

Jumper J3 may be used to directly connect external LEDs and external reset button to device. All LED
outputs have 330 Ohm current limiting resistors. Power and multicolor LEDs are supplied with 3.3V
when turned on. LAN activity LED (pin #5) is wired differently and turned on by “low” signal. External
reset button should be connected to SOFT_RST and ground pins.

Jumper J4 allows alternative access to serial console pins, reset signal and onboard power.
For serial console connection TTL level to RS-232 converter is required. Generic cell phone USB data
cable based on Prolific PL2303HX chip may be used. Parameters for WBD-111 serial console access
are:
19200/8-N-1.
Connect data cable's:
RX wire to UART_TX pin,
TX wire to UART_RX pin,
GND ground wire to Ground pin on WBD-111 device.
Disassembly of data cable connector may be required to find out the wiring. Wires are color coded
and TX, RX, GND marks should be printed on a cable's PCB. Generally RX signal wire is white, TX is
blue and GND is black. Generic data cable schematics show TX wire connected to pin #1 and RX
wire to pin #5 of Prolific PL2303HX chip.

Power
WBD-111 can be powered by connecting 9-18V voltage power supply to DC jack (see picture above)
or via Ethernet by using power injector. Insertion of power supply connector disconnects Ethernet
power feed line. Device has polarity independent DC-DC converter with overvoltage and overheating
protection, with two onboard SMD fuses. Power jack accepts DC 1.4/3.4 mm coaxial power
connectors.
