AI-Thinker BW16 RTL8720DN Development Board

The BW16-Kit development board is a core development board designed by B&T for the BW16 module, which continues the classic design of the NodeMCU development board, leading all I/O tothe pin headers on both sides, on board RGB light, developers can also connect peripherals according to their own needs.Standard pin headers on both sides make operation easier when using bread boards for development and commissioning.

BW16 is a dual-frequency Wi-Fi + Bluetooth SoC module developed based on RTL8720DN. It supports dual-frequency (2.4GHz or 5GHz) WLAN and low power Bluetooth 5.0; and integrates ARMV8 (C ortex-M4F) high performance MCU, ARM V8M (Cortex-M0) low power MCU, WLAN (802.11 a / b / g / n), MAC, Bluetooth and RF baseband, and provides a set of configurable GPIO ports for the control of different peripherals.

BW16 also integrates internal storage and supports simple application development for full Wi-Fi and BT5.0 protocol capabilities.

Features:

• Supports 802.11a/b/g/n 1x1,2.4GHz or 5GHz
• Support for HT20/HT40 mode
• Support low power beacons listening mode, low power reception mode, and low power hangin mode
• Built-in AES / DES / SHA hardware engine
• Support for TrustZone-M, supports secure startup
• The SWD debug port access protection and ban modes are supported
• Support for BLE and BT5.0
