Product Overview

The Serial-to-Wi-Fi Evaluation Kit offers a quick and easy way for customers to evaluate the capabilities of GainSpan's GS1011 ultra-low power wireless system-on-a-chip and the Serial-to-Wi-Fi embedded software for Wi-Fi networks. The Serial-to-Wi-Fi embedded software enables faster time-to-market for new or legacy products that need to add Wi-Fi to their designs.

The GS1011 device is a highly integrated ultra low-power wireless system-on-a-chip (SOC) that contains a 802.11b radio, media access controller (MAC) and baseband processor, on-chip flash memory and SRAM, an application processor and a rich set of peripheral I/Os all in a single small footprint package. GainSpan's platform software, embedded in the GS1011 device, provides a complete wireless sensor node software solution that is highly power efficient, extending battery life to several years.

The GainSpan Serial-to-Wi-Fi 'AT' command set supports the full range of capabilities provided by the underlying GainSpan Embedded Platform Software, including scanning and reporting SSID's, power management and over the air firmware upgrade. DHCP and DNS server support allows the node to easily interact with existing infrastructure and the internet.

The Serial-to-Wi-Fi software can be evaluated by using the GainSpan Evaluation Kit. Customers can develop SW on their existing controllers to support the AT command set and connect it to the UART interface on the Eval kit reference board.
