TI WiLink 8 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/Bluetooth Smart Audio Multi-Room Cape Reference Design (TIDC-
WL1837MOD-AUDIO-MULTIROOM-CAPE) The TI WiLink 8 WL1837MOD audio cape is
wireless a multi-room audio reference design used with BeagleBone Black featuring the TI
Sitara (AM335x). The WLAN capability of the WiLink 8 device to capture and register precise
arrival time of the connected AP beacon is used to achieve ultra-precise synchronization
between multiple connected audio devices. The WiLink 8 module (WL1837MOD) offers
integrated Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/Bluetooth Smart solution featuring 2.4-GHz MIMO and antenna
diversity on the 5-GHz band. The WiLink 8 module offers a best-in-class audio solution
featuring multi-room, Airplay
®
receiver, full audio stack streaming, support for online music
services, and much more. This TI Design enables customers to design their own audio
boards with Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/Bluetooth Smart connectivity from our WiLink 8 module
(WL1837MOD) and evaluate audio multi-room software.
2.4-GHz Wi-Fi + Bluetooth Certified Antenna Design on WiLink 1835 Module (TIDC-
WL1835MODCOM8B)
The WiLink 1835 Module Antenna Design is a reference design that combines the
functionalities of the WiLink 8 module with a built-in antenna on a single board, implementing
the module in the way the module is certified. Customers can thus evaluate the performance
of the module through embedded applications, such as home automation and the Internet of
Things that make use of both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth/Bluetooth low energy functionalities found
on the WiLink 1835 module. This antenna design is the same layout used during module
certification, allowing customers to avoid repeated certification when creating their specific
applications.
Smart Home and Energy Gateway Reference Design (TIEP-SMART-ENERGY-GATEWAY) The Smart
Home and Energy Gateway Reference Design provides example implementation for
measurement, management and communication of energy systems for smart homes and
buildings. This example design is a bridge between different communication interfaces, such
as Wi-Fi, Ethernet, ZigBee or Bluetooth, that are commonly found in residential and
commercial buildings. Because objects in homes and buildings are becoming more and more
connected and no single RF standard dominates the market, the gateway design must be
flexible to accommodate different RF standards. This example gateway addresses the
problem by supporting existing legacy RF standards (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) and newer RF
standards ( ZigBee
®
and BLE).
Streaming Audio Reference Design (TIDEP0009) The TIDEP0009 Streaming Audio Reference Design
minimizes design time for customers by offering small form factor hardware and major
software components, including streaming protocols and Internet radio services. With this
reference design, TI offers a quick and easy transition path to the AM335x and WiLink 8
platform solution. This proven combination solution provides key advantages in this market
category that helps bring your products to the next level.
Software
WiLink 8 Wi-Fi Driver for Linux OS (WILINK8-WIFI-NLCP) The NLCP package contains the install
package, pre-compiled object and source of the TI Linux Open-Source Wi-Fi image to easily
upgrade the default LINUX EZSDK release with the TI WiLink family NLCP Wi-Fi driver. The
software is built with Linaro GCC 4.7 and can be added to Linux Software Development Kits
(SDKs) that use similar toolchain on other platforms.
Android Development Kit for Sitara Microprocessors (ANDROIDSDK-SITARA) Although originally
designed for mobile handsets, the Android Operating System offers designers of embedded
applications the ability to easily add a high-level OS to their product. Developed in
association with Google, Android delivers a complete operating system that is ready for
integration and production today.
Linux EZ Software Development Kit (EZSDK) for Sitara Processors (LINUXEZSDK-SITARA) Linux
SDKs provide Sitara developers with an easy setup and quick out-of-box experience that is
specific to and highlights the features of TI's ARM processors. Launching demos,
benchmarks, and applications is a snap with the included graphical user interface. The Sitara
Linux SDK also allows developers to quickly start development of their own applications and
easily add them to the application launcher, which can be customized by the developer.
TI Dual-Mode Bluetooth Stack (TIBLUETOOTHSTACK-SDK) TI’s dual-mode Bluetooth stack enables
Bluetooth + Bluetooth low energy and is comprised of single-mode and dual-mode offerings
implementing the Bluetooth 4.0 specification. The Bluetooth stack is fully Bluetooth Special
Interest Group (SIG) qualified, certified and royalty-free, provides simple command line
sample applications to speed development and has MFI capability on request.
