Hardware Overview#

Hardware Platform#

The flash programmer supports two hardware topologies: one which is based on the SiWx917 Pro Kit and the other which is based on a custom hardware design. These are described in the following sections.

SiWx917 Pro Kit#

The SiWx917 Pro Kit consists of a radio board and a mainboard.

  • The radio board supports on-chip antenna and micro-coaxial connector for conducted RF measurements or external antenna connection

  • Virtual COM port

  • SEGGER J-link on-board debugger

  • Breakout pads for Wireless SoC I/O

The flash programmer uses the SEGGER J-link on-board debugger for communicating with the SiWx917 SoC.

Customized Hardware#

Alternatively, the SiWx917 SoC device can be used on a custom hardware platform to implement the programmer.

The SWDIO and SWCLK pins are used by SWD.

  • The SWD pins can be used to communicate with the SWD Programmer.
