8.  Kit Features

The kit contains a Board controller which is responsible for performing various board-level tasks. An interface is provided between the
WGM110 Module and the Board controller in the form of a UART connection. The connection is enabled by setting the VCOM_ENABLE
(PE2) line high, and using the lines VCOM_TX (PE10) and VCOM_RX (PE11) for communication.

Note: 

The WSTK Board controller is only available when USB power is connected through the WSTK Main Board USB connector.

 

8.1  Virtual COM Port

After enabling Virtual Serial Communication (VCOM), the Board controller makes communication possible using the following interfa-
ces:

• Virtual USB COM Port using a CDC driver.
• TCP/IP by connecting to WSTK using 

Port 4901

 with a telnet client.

The  VCOM  functionality  allows  the  target  to  communicate  using  a  regular  serial  driver.  The  Board  controller  forwards  the  raw  byte
stream to its interfaces.
