The GW11048-5 is a development kit to support the validation of the Silex SX-SDMAX and SX-PCEAX Wi-Fi 6 radios (radios sold separately). The kit is based on the Gateworks Venice GW7200 Single Board Computer (SBC) pre-loaded with a Ubuntu Linux BSP to allow an out of box evaluation of the Silex radio.
The GW7200 SBC is based on the NXP™ i.MX8M Mini 64-bit ARM® Cortex™- A53 SoC operating at 1.6GHz. The SBC features 8GBytes of eMMC System Flash, 1GBytes of LPDDR4 DRAM, two GbE Ethernet ports and two Mini-PCIe expansion sockets that can be used for Mini-PCIe peripherals such as WiFi radios and cellular modems. Peripheral headers support Digital I/O, Analog Input, RS232/RS485/TTL Serial, I2C and SPI. A combined MIPI-DSI/CSI header with I2S audio offers video input/output. A MicroSD and Nano SIM slot are standard along with a 3-Axis accelerometer. Board options include an onboard TPM 2.0 chip and a u-blox GPS. System health is monitored by the Gateworks System Controller which provides real time clock, voltage and temperature monitoring, programmable pushbutton, and programmable board shut-down and wake-up for remote applications. Power is applied through a dedicated barrel jack or an Ethernet port in an active 802.3af/at or passive Power over Ethernet (PoE) architecture. The kit includes a JTAG adapter for programming and serial console access, power supply, Mini-PCIe half card adapter for the SX-PCEAX radio and other accessory cables to get the board up and running quickly.
Note: Bluetooth on SX-SDMAX not supported on Gateworks SBC. Wi-Fi only. Contact Gateworks support for more information.
