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
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
