UG379: WF200 Wi-Fi Expansion Kit User s Guide The WF200 Wi-Fi Expansion Kit is an excellent way to explore WF200 EXPANSION BOARD FEATURES and evaluate the WF200 Wi-Fi Transceiver with a Raspberry Pi or an EFM32 MCU for your embedded application. EXP connector for interfacing Silicon Labs Starter Kits The WF200 Wi-Fi Transceiver is an easy to use and easy to interface Wi-Fi Network Selectable SPI or SDIO host interface Co-Processor (NCP). Most of the associated complexity of Wi-Fi and the protocol stack Allows board detection and is offloaded to the NCP and allows for easy Wi-Fi integration into any embedded sys- identification tem. Raspberry Pi compatible HAT 40-pin header The kit easily integrates and brings Wi-Fi connectivity to a compatible Silicon Labs HAT EEPROM for identification MCU Starter Kit through the EXP header. The WF200 Wi-Fi Expansion Kit has also been designed after the Raspberry Pi Hardware Attached on Top (HAT) board specifi- cation, allowing the WF200 Wi-Fi Expansion Kit to connect to a Raspberry Pi. silabs.com Building a more connected world.
