1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
This document is a user guide for the RD-88MW322-QFN-1B-2A-v1.0 evaluation
kit. This evaluation kit is based on the NXP 88MW322, an IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi
microcontroller.
The RD-88MW320-QFN-1B-2A-v1.0 evaluation kit, which is based on the NXP
88MW320, is similar.
Table 1 summarizes the key differences between 88MW322 and 88MW320 (hereafter
referred to as “Wireless SoC”).

2.5 Antennas
The reference design module has an on-board PCB antenna and a W.FL RF
connector(P/N IPEX 20369-001E) for external antenna. If both antennas are used,
antenna diversity is supported.

2.7 Configuration pins
By default the configuration pins Strap1 and Strap0 are disconnected, and the DUT is
configured to boot from Flash.
Configuration pins are muxed and used for the followings:
•During boot-up, their states are read for the device operating mode
•After boot-up, the pins can be repurposed for other GPIO functions. Strap1 is
GPIO[16], and Strap0 is GPIO[27]. Please refer to 88MW320-88MW322 datasheet.
Figure 8 shows the location of the configuration pins.
Figure 8. Configuration pin locations
Note: To use the configuration pin after boot-up there is a requirement if the
configuration pin is used as GPIO input pin. There is no requirement if the configuration
pin is used as output pin. The requirement is that the configuration pin cannot be driven
other than the intended operating mode. For example, if the configuration pin is set
to logic high at power up, this GPIO input must be driven logic high before reset is
deasserted; otherwise, the SoC will be configured to another operating mode.
