Introduction, Section 1
AMW004 Evaluation

Introduction
The AMW004 ‘Wallaby’ module is a fully certified small form factor, low power WICED-based Wi-Fi networking
module perfectly suited to deeply embedded applications requiring medium/high data throughput in medium to
high volume.
The module runs WiConnect firmware, ACKme Networks easy-to-use and reliable serial Wi-Fi networking application
that includes an embedded TCP/IP networking stack with SSL/TLS/HTTPS security.
Evaluation of WiConnect and the AMW004 module is available with the AMW004-E02 ‘Marlin’ evaluation board, or
the AMW004-E03 ‘Mackerel’ evaluation board. The evaluation boards are shown in Figure 1 and a feature
comparison of the boards is provided in Table 1.

Note!
Customers that wish to evaluate the AMW004 module using Broadcom WICED should obtain an
alternate evaluation board that provides AMW004 program and debug capability. Information about the
AMW004-E01 ‘Snapper’ WICED eval board is available at

Feature Identification
AMW004-E02 ‘Marlin’
The Marlin evaluation board assembly is in fact comprised of two separate boards that are plugged together. The
through-hole AMW004 module adapter (AMW004-A01) plugs directly into the bare evaluation board (AAE001).
Schematics for both boards are provided in Appendix B.

Notes
1 Connection to AMW004 is via a 220R resistor
2 Not connected to AMW004 by default. R8 must be populated with a 0R link to make the connection.
3 The silkscreen is WRONG! Button 1 is actually connected to Pin 8 of the expansion header.
