CL TiWi-R2 Interface Description
The CL TiWi-R2 interfaces directly with a MitySOM-335x Development Kit through the
41-pin Hirose connector on the bottom of the Development Kit, J700. This interface
provides the necessary communications and voltage signals used by the CL TiWi-R2
Expansion Kit.
Linux Driver and API examples are available to support the WiFi functionality. The
802.11 b/g/n WiFi interface works directly with the Linux operating system and common
wireless LAN utilities such as WPA Supplicant and WPA_CLI are compatible.
For further information concerning the configuration and specifications of the TiWi-R2
module that the kit is based upon please visit LS Research: http://www.lsr.com/wireless-
products/tiwi-r2
CL TiWi-R2 Electrical Description
The CL TiWi-R2 Expansion Kit provides standard WiFi IEEE 802.11 data rates up to
65Mbps. The communications interface is routed to I2C0 on the MitySOM-335x module
that is installed in a MitySOM-335x Development Kit.
The electrical interface between the CL TiWi-R2 Expansion Kit and MitySOM-335x
based Development Kit is provided via the 41-pin Hirose header described in Table 1.
Please reference the MitySOM-335x Development Kit documentation for further details
on the pin-out of this connector.
