Software
JODY-W3 series modules are based on the NXP 88Q9098 chipset. The drivers and firmware required to operate JODY-W3 series modules are developed by NXP and are already integrated into the Linux BSP for the NXP i.MX application processors [5].1 The documentation for the software releases from NXP contains Wi-Fi and Bluetooth release notes and a list of supported software features. The driver source code is provided free of charge as open source under NXP license terms. Being open source allows the drivers to be integrated or ported to other non-NXP based host platforms. Yocto recipes for the driver and firmware, that can be used to develop custom Linux-based systems, are part of the NXP i.MX Linux BSP. The latest version of the driver source code and Wi- Fi/Bluetooth firmware are available from the following open-source repositories:

• Wi-Fi driver: https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/mwifiex/
• Firmware: https://github.com/NXP/imx-firmware/
  • Use the repository branches matching to the latest Linux BSP release version. At the time of publication, this is release 5.10.52_2.1.0.

The Wi-Fi driver uses the TCP/IP stack from the Linux kernel for data transmission and the cfg80211 subsystem in the kernel for configuration and control. The hci_uart driver from the Linux kernel and BlueZ host stack are used for the Bluetooth part. For further information about the initialization and configuration of the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth features, see also the JODY-W3 system integration manual [2] and the NXP User Manual UM11490 [6]. Contact your local u-blox support team for information about additional software options for the JODY-W3 series modules.

Getting started

This chapter describes the basic settings and procedures to get started with EVK-JODY-W3.

• An overview of the EVB and its main connectors is shown in Figure 1. For more detailed description of the available connectors and configuration options, see Board description.

Follow the procedure below to evaluate JODY-W3 series module using EVK- JODY-W3:

1. Connect the coaxial cables to the U.FL connectors on the module board and internal antennas on the carrier board; or to SMA connectors for use with external antennas or conducted test setup. The default antenna configuration is described below:

   • EVK-JODY-W374 uses both of its two internal dual-band antennas for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication.
   • EVK-JODY-W377 uses one of its two internal antennas for Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi communication is configured for use through SMA connectors SMA1 and SMA2. Connect the two supplied external antennas to the selected SMA connectors on the EVB.
     For more information about the antenna configuration, see also Antenna interfaces.

2. Set DIP switch SW503 to select the host interfaces for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth from the possible combinations PCIE-UART, SDIO-UART or SDIO-SDIO, as described in Bootstrapping.

3. Configure the power supply source as described in Power supply configuration and shown in Table 5. The most common configuration uses the Wi-Fi host interface as the supply source, which can be either PCIe or SDIO.

4. Connect the host interfaces to the host system. The EVB and supplied PCIe and SDIO adapters use zero insertion force (ZIF) connectors with flat cables for connecting the adapters. To connect the cable, gently flip up the small locking flap of the connector, align and insert the flat cable with the blue marking pointing upwards, and then close the locking flap.

   • For PCIe connection to the host, use either the M.2 or the mini-PCIe adapter depending on the available connector on the host platform. First, plug the adapter into the PCIe connector on the host system. Then connect it with the flat cable to the connector (J203) on the EVB, as shown in Figure 2. The PCIe interface can be used for Wi-Fi communication with the JODY-W3 series module.
   • For SDIO connection, connect the supplied micro SDIO adapter card with the flat cable to the SDIO connector (J204) on the EVB, as shown in Figure 3. Insert the adapter card into an SDIO connector of the host system. The SDIO interface can be used for Wi-F and optionally Bluetooth communication with the JODY-W3 series module.
   • A high speed UART interface can be used for Bluetooth communication with the JODY-W3 series module. A USB-to-UART bridge is included on the evaluation board. To use the Bluetooth interface through USB, connect the supplied USB cable to the USB type-C connector on the EVB and connect it to a USB interface on the host system. Make sure that jumper J400 is bridged (default setting) to enable Bluetooth communication over USB. For information about accessing the UART interface for Bluetooth directly, see also Bluetooth host interface.

5. Power on the host system. The LEDs on the EVB indicate the status of the different voltage rails and should turn green to indicate proper power supply. At this point, the module should be detected by the host system.

6. Install the necessary driver software for the JODY-W3 module, as described in the JODY-W3 system integration manual [2].

Jumper conventions
Figure 6 shows the graphical conventions used for the jumper settings described in this document. Pin 0 is shown in grey color. All jumpers are shown with red lines terminated with round edges.

Power supply configuration
JODY-W3 series modules must be supplied with 1.8 V (1V8), 3.3 V (3V3), and a VIO voltage that can be either 1.8 V or 3.3 V. The power supply for the EVB can be provided over the different host interfaces or from external sources. The following power supply options are available on the EVB:

• PCIe, SDIO, USB interfaces: The EVB is powered through the host interface. All internal voltages are generated by DC-DC converters on the EVB.
• Common external power supply: The EVB can be connected to an external (5 V to 24 V) power supply through a 2.1 x 6.3 mm DC power jack (J11). DC-DC converters are used for generating all the required internal voltages.
• Separate external supplies: All the individual, 3V3, 1V8, and VIO voltage rails are supplied from external power sources through the connectors J101-J103.

Figure 7 shows the external connectors and jumpers used for configuring the different power supply options.

To operate the JODY-W3 EVB, the external power supply source (power mux) and input voltage levels to the module must be configured using jumpers on the EVB. The power supply tree, including the jumpers on the EVB, is shown in Figure 8. See also Jumpers and connectors.

• J104–J106 configure the EVB power supply source (SDIO, PCIe, USB or external) to the VIN_3V3 domain, which generates the internal power rails for the module.
• J1-J7 configure the input voltages for the JODY-W3 series module, which can be selected between the internally generated voltages and the external supplies from J103-J103.

DC-DC converters are used to step-down the external and USB supplies to the power mux and generate the required input voltages for the module.![u-blox- EVK-JODY-W3-Evaluation-Kits-fig-8

u-blox-EVK-JODY-W3-Evaluation-Kits-fig-8](https://manuals.plus/wp- content/uploads/2023/04/u-blox-EVK-JODY-W3-Evaluation-Kits-fig-8.png)

Selecting the EVB power supply
Use jumpers J104–J106 to select the EVB power supply (power mux) for the EVB. Figure 9 shows the arrangement of external power supply sources for each jumper position.

VIN_3V3 is the input to the DC-DC converter on the EVB that generates the required voltage rails (3V3_DCDC, 1V8_DCDC, 3V3_VIO, and 1V8_VIO) for the module, as shown in Figure 8. A single jumper is connected between VIN_3V3 and the chosen voltage supply to the EVB.

Table 5 shows the (J104–J106) jumper positions for selecting the power supply source for the EVB.

Selecting the module input voltage
Use jumpers J1-J7 to select the external power source to the module, as shown in Figure 8. The input voltage to the module can be sourced from either the on-board DC-DC generated voltages or the direct input voltages from the separate external supplies J101-J103.

The input voltage options for selecting the module supply are described in Table 6.

Table 7 describes the different options for selecting the module input voltages using jumpers J1-J7.

Bootstrapping

JODY-W3 supports the following host interface combinations:

• PCIE-UART mode: Commands and data for the Wi-Fi traffic are transferred through the PCIe bus to the module. The Bluetooth traffic uses the high-speed UART interface.
• SDIO-UART mode: Commands and data for the Wi-Fi traffic is transferred through the SDIO bus to the module. The Bluetooth traffic uses the high-speed UART interface.
• SDIO-SDIO mode: Commands and data for both the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth traffic is transferred to the module through the SDIO bus.2

DIP switch SW503 is used on the EVB to define the boot mode and the physical interfaces used for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication. Set each switch ON to pull the configuration signal low (GND, logic level “0”), and OFF to pull it high (logic level “1”).

Figure 11: Boot and host interface configuration
Table 8 describes the DIP switch positions for configuring the boot mode and host interface options.

UART (J205) or UART (J305)
SDIO-UART| ON| ON| ON| Wi-Fi through SDIO (J204), Bluetooth through USB-to- UART (J205) or UART (J305)
SDIO-SDIO| ON| ON| OFF| Wi-Fi and Bluetooth through SDIO (J204)

Table 8: Boot mode selection options

• The UART interface for Bluetooth can be accessed either directly through J305, or through the USB type-C connector J205 and USB-to-UART bridge. For further information about the Bluetooth UART interface, see also Bluetooth host interface.

PCIe interface
The EVB can be connected through a PCIe connector for Wi-Fi communication with the host system. Adapters for host-side M.2 Key E and mini-PCIe connectors are supplied in the kit. The PCIe host interface connector (J203) is shown in Figure 12.

Figure 12: PCIe interface connector
VDD_PCIE can be used for supplying the EVB from the PCIe interface.

SDIO interface
The EVB can be connected through a micro SDIO connector for Wi-Fi communication with the host system. The SDIO connector can optionally be used for Bluetooth3. The SDIO host interface connector (J204) is shown in Figure 13.

All signals except VDD_SDIO are directly connected to the JODY-W3 module through 22 Ω series resistors connected on the module board. VDD_SDIO can be used for supplying the EVB from the SDIO interface. The SDIO signals are powered by the 1V8 voltage domain.

• Pull-up resistors for the SDIO lines are not installed on the EVB because they are typically included in the host CPU. The EVB carrier board has the provision to install pull-up resistors if needed by the design.

Bluetooth host interface
The Bluetooth UART host interface of the JODY-W3 series module can be accessed either directly through the UART pins on J305, or through the USB type-C connector through a USB-to-UART bridge (default). A USB-to-UART bridge (FTDI FT231X) is included on the evaluation board to connect to the high speed UART interface of the JODY-W3 series module. VDD_USB3 from the USB connector is converted by a DC-DC to 3.3 V and can be used for supplying 3V3 from the USB interface. Place the jumper on J400 to use Bluetooth through the USB type-C connector.

The 4-pin UART interface of the JODY-W3 series modules can be directly accessed through the Bluetooth UART connector J305. To use the UART interface directly, remove the jumper on J400 and connect the UART host interface to the respective module side pins and signal ground on J305 as shown in Figure 15 and Table 9. The UART signals are powered by the VIO voltage domain.

Bluetooth audio interface
A MAX9860 16-bit audio codec for Bluetooth voice applications is provided on the JODY-W3 EVB and connected to the PCM/I2S interface of the module. A 3.5 mm audio jack (J206) to connect a headset is available on the bottom side of the EVB. The codec is operated with a master clock (MCLK) of 19.2 MHz. The MAX9860 audio codec is completely controlled through software using an I2C interface. The codec responds to the I2C slave address 0x20 for all write commands and 0x21 for all read operations.

Place jumpers J401 and J402 to enable the audio codec, as shown in Figure 16.

The I2C interface of the audio codec is provided on connector J303 of the EVB as shown in Table 10 and Figure 20. The PCM/I2S interface of the JODY-W3 module is directly connected to the serial audio interface of the MAX9860 audio codec. The PCM pins are shared with the I2S interface and are additionally provided on connector J301 as shown in Table 10 and Figure 19.

Antenna interfaces
The evaluation board includes two dual-band 2.4/5 GHz chip antennas (Pulse Electronics W3006) for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication. Three standard 50 Ω female SMA connectors are included to connect external antennas or measurement instruments. The antenna interfaces are selected by connecting U.FL connectors on the EVB module board with designated U.FL connectors on the EVB carrier board with coaxial RF cables. The module board has three U.FL connectors which connect to the antenna pins of the JODY-W3 series module. To use any of the chip antennas or SMA connectors on the EVB carrier board, connect the coaxial RF cables between the U.FL connector on the module board and U.FL connectors on the carrier board. See also EVK-JODY-W374 antenna connections and EVK- JODY-W377 antenna connections.
Figure 11 describes the available radio interfaces of the modules and the default antenna interfaces that are selected in the EVK-JODY-W3.

 | ANT1| 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi| Dual-band chip antenna ANT401
 | ANT2| –| –
EVK-JODY-W377| ANT0| 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi| SMA connector 2
 | ANT1| 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi| SMA connector 1
 | ANT2| Bluetooth| Dual-band chip antenna ANT400

• Connect the external antennas supplied with EVK-JODY-W377 to the selected SMA connectors. For further information about the included external antennas, see also Kit includes.

EVK-JODY-W374 antenna connections
On EVK-JODY-W374 the U.FL connectors on the module board (ANT0 and ANT1) are connected through coaxial cables to the two internal antennas on the carrier board (ANT400 and ANT401).

EVK-JODY-W377 antenna connections
On EVK-JODY-W377 one U.FL connector (ANT2) on the module board is connected through a single coaxial cable to the internal antenna (ANT400) on the carrier board. ANT0 and ANT1 on the module board are connected to two SMA connectors (SMA1 and SMA2) on the carrier board for use with external antennas.

Other interfaces
Connectors J301 and J303 provide several other interfaces from the JODY-W3 series module, such as host wake-up signals, GPIOs, and audio interfaces. Additional GPIOs and RF control signals are provided on connectors J300 and J302. See Schematics for more information.
Figure 19 shows the signals connected through J301.

LEDs
Table 12 describes the function and designation of the available LEDs on the EVK-JODY-W3 evaluation board.

Jumper J411 can be removed to turn the LEDs off for module power measurements.

Reset buttons

Two buttons, SW500 and SW501, can be used to reset the JODY-W3 module and the whole EVB, respectively. Button SW500 asserts the PD# pin of the JODY-W3 module to enter power down mode, while keeping the supply rails enabled. When exiting the power-down mode, the module is automatically reset and the firmware must be downloaded again. Button SW501 causes all the module supply rails from the on-board Power Management Unit (PMU) to shut down. Internal power-on reset of the module is triggered when the button is released, which restores power to the module.
