Kit description 

The MAYA-W2 series comprises ultra-compact multiradio modules with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and 
IEEE 802.15.4, including variants with an internal antenna. MAYA-W2 series supports dual band IEEE 
802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax Wi-Fi standards with up to 600 Mbps data rate, and it supports both Bluetooth 
BR/EDR and  the full Bluetooth Low Energy 5.2  feature set. MAYA-W260, MAYA-W261, and 
MAYA-W266 are based on the NXP IW611 chipset. MAYA-W271 and MAYA-W276 are based on the 
NXP IW612 chipset and integrate  an additional IEEE  802.15.4 radio for  Thread mesh networking 
support. 

The modules require a host processor and connect to it through SDIO for Wi-Fi, high-speed UART for 
Bluetooth, PCM/I2S for Bluetooth audio, and SPI for 802.15.4.  The supported operating systems 
include Linux and Android. Wi-Fi/Bluetooth support for RTOS is provided by the NXP MCUXpresso 
SDK 

[5]

 on NXP i.MX RT MCUs. 

EVK-MAYA-W2 allows an external host processor to access several practical features for testing and 
evaluating the connectivity options supported in MAYA-W2 series modules, including: 

 

SD card and M.2 key E adapters to access SDIO, UART, and PCM/I2S host interfaces 

 

USB interface to easily access the Bluetooth UART interface via a USB-to-UART bridge 

 

Digital and analog audio interfaces for Bluetooth 

 

SMA connectors for external antennas 

 

GPIO pins and other module interfaces, including SPI, are accessible through pin headers 

 

Multiple power supply options
