Page 3 LinkIt 7697 HDK v10 User's Guide Introduction Overview MediaTek LinkIt™ 7697 hardware development kit (HDK) is part of LinkIt development platform for RTOS and is based on a highly integrated MediaTek MT7697 SOC with an application processor, a low power 1x1 11n singleband Wi-Fi subsystem, a Bluetooth Low Energy subsystem and a Power Management Unit. The application processor subsystem contains ARM Cortex-M4 with floating point unit microprocessor. The HDK supports peripherals, including UART, I2C, SPI, I2S, PWM, IrDA and auxiliary ADC. It also includes an embedded SRAM/ROM. The Wi-Fi subsystem contains 802.11b/g/n radio, baseband and MAC that are designed to meet both the low power and high throughput application requirements. It runs on a 32-bit RISC CPU that could fully offload the application processor. The Bluetooth Low Energy subsystem contains the Bluetooth radio, baseband and link controller and uses the same 32-bit RISC CPU for the Bluetooth protocols. The LinkIt 7697 HDK is shown in Figure 1. The main features of this HDK are: • Breadboard compatible form factor. Developers can use breadboards to connect peripherals with this HDK conveniently to build their applications. • Auxiliary LED and buttons to reset the board and to program a user-defined functionality. • An on-board USB-to-UART conversion chip to access logs and conveniently update the firmware. • Serial Wire Debug (SWD) interface. • mt76x7-uploader tool, enables the HDK to switch between flash normal mode and recovery mode automatically without user intervention. • Developers can program the board with the native LinkIt SDK using GCC, IAR embedded workbench, or Keil µVision IDE. Development with Arduino IDE is also supported. Figure 1. LinkIt 7697 HDK v1.0 © 2015 - 2017 MediaTek Inc. This document contains information that is proprietary to MediaTek Inc.

Page 5 LinkIt 7697 HDK v10 User's Guide Get Started with the HDK This section covers the HDK configuration, driver installation and the update flow for the flash storage. 2.1. Board configuration The interfaces and modules are shown in Figure 2. Reset USB pin header UART RX LED UART TX LED CP2102N wrtnode7 module Micro-USB connector Power LED USR LED User configurable button Figure 2. Front view of the HDK (created in Fritzing) • wrtnode7 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE module: It equips the MT7697 Wi-Fi / BLE SOC and is ready to use with an on-board antenna and an I-PEX connector. Moreover, a 4MB flash is also included in this module. • CP2102N: A USB-to-UART bridge chipset made by Silicon Labs. It’s used during flash update process with the mt76x7-uploader tool and to switch between the flash normal mode and the flash recovery mode, automatically. • Micro-USB connector: Serves as a 5V power source to the HDK. Connect the HDK to a computer that has the CP2102N driver installed, to get UART messages (from UART0 on MT7697) using a terminal program. • RX / TX LEDs: LEDs used to indicate the transmission states of the UART port (UART0). • PWR LED: This LED will light on while connecting to a power source. • USR LED: An LED used for user-defined behavior. It’s controlled by P7 pin (GPIO36). • RST button: Resets the chipset and is connected to the RST pin. While it’s pressed, it will be linked to the GND. • USR button: A button used for user-defined behavior. It’s connected to P6 pin (GPIO37). When it’s pressed, it will be linked to the 3V3 source. • USB pin header: It provides the same functionality as the micro-USB connector but in the form of pin headers. • MT7697 bootstrap pins: All MT7697 bootstrap pins except GPIO37 (used for Flash Access Mode control) are hidden from this HDK and not accessible through breakout headers. The Flash Access Mode has to two © 2015 - 2017 MediaTek Inc. This document contains information that is proprietary to MediaTek Inc. (“MediaTek”) and/or its licensor(s).

To set the HDK to Flash Recovery mode, use the USR button to pull up GPIO37. For more details, see section 2.3, “Updating the flash”. Note, that since GPIO37 is in the breakout header, if there is an external component connected to P6 (where GPIO37 is), the voltage level of that component might affect the boot-up sequence. Ensure P6 is clear or pulled low when the system powers on. • 2.2. If there is no 5V power source, this HDK can also work with 3.3V by simply connecting the 3V3 pin to a 3.3V power source. Installing the driver for Windows LinkIt 7697 HDK connects to your computer through the COM port interface. The COM port interface is provided by the on-board CP2102N USB-to-UART bridge chipset, which then connects to the UART0 port of the MT7697 chipset. The UART0 port can be used to program the flash memory attached to the MT7697 chipset. It can also be used as a communication channel for your application through terminal emulator program of your choice. The block diagram for the communication is shown in Figure 3: PC Arduino IDE LinkIt 7697 HDK CP2102N Driver Micro-USB Connector MT7697 SOC CP2102N UART0 Flash Memory Figure 3. Communication between PC and the HDK Since the board relies on CP2102N to provide the COM port functionality, you'll need to install a driver so that your computer can recognize it. And because the board uses the default USB VID and PID of the CP2102N, it’s required to install the official CP2102N driver from the vendor's website. After choosing the Download VCP option according to your operating system version and finishing the driver installation, use a micro-USB cable to connect the board to your computer. The onboard PWR LED should light up. Follow the steps below to confirm the driver is properly installed: • Open Device Manager from the control panel. • In the Ports (COM & LPT) section, an item named Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge (COMnnn) should appear. The port number can be different on each computer. This is the COM port you'll be using to program and interact with the LinkIt 7697 HDK (see Figure 4). © 2015 - 2017 MediaTek Inc.

The COM port allocation for LinkIt 7697 HDK 2.3. Updating the flash There are two tools provided for programming the flash storage: 1) The Flash tool inside the LinkIt SDK. It’s a Windows execution program providing the functionality to program and format the flash storage, see section 2.2.4.1, “Using the Flash Tool” of the LinkIt for RTOS development platform get started guide, for more details about using the Flash tool. 2) The mt76x7-uploader on MediaTek Labs’ GitHub page. It’s a Python script providing cross-platform implementation for the flash storage. For its usage guide, refer to the readme on the project page. Select the tool based on your development requirements (see Table 1). Table 1.

To switch the board into the Flash recovery mode: 1) Connect the board to a power source. 2) Press and hold the USR button. © 2015 - 2017 MediaTek Inc.

Page 8 LinkIt 7697 HDK v10 User's Guide 3) Click (press and release) the RST button. 4) Wait for 1 second and then release the USR button. After step 4, the board will go into the Flash Recovery mode and you can then use the Flash tool or the QA tool with it. If you choose the mt76x7-uploader to update the flash, the tool itself will handle the flash mode switch automatically without user intervention. © 2015 - 2017 MediaTek Inc.
