QSG166: WF200 Wi-Fi Development Kit

Quick Start Guide

The WF200 Wi-Fi Development Kit is an excellent way to get star-

ted with WF200 Wi-Fi transceiver IC to achieve performance eval-

uation and software development.

It supports various hardware and software use cases, as described below.

Two versions of devkits are available:

• SLEXP8022A contains WF200 development board (BRD8022A), that can be connec-

ted to Silicon Labs EFM32 Starter kits (STK3701 for GG11) or to a Raspberry Pi for

the Linux case. It also contains a micro-SD card allowing fast startup with a Raspber-

ry Pi.

• SLEXP8022B is a superset of SLEXP8022A with a Raspberry Pi 2 model V1.2 inclu-

ded.

This document described the first steps to get a Wi-Fi connection for the Linux case

(Raspberry Pi), Silicon Labs MCUs, as well as a case with a 3rd party MCU.
