Overview
The Wi-Fi PmodTM Expansion Board enables quick prototyping of wireless connectivity solutions using a variety of Renesas microcontroller (MCU) kits. It features an SX-ULPGN, a single-band 2.4GHz 802.11n module based on the Qualcomm QCA4010 System-on-Chip (SoC).
This board supports Renesas RA, Synergy, RX, and RL78 MCUs.
Getting Started
- RA Microcontrollers - In order to use the Wi-Fi Pmod Expansion Board with an RA MCU evaluation kit, refer to the Wi-Fi example project for that kit.
- The project files (including binary/hex files) of the Wi-Fi example project for a kit are provided in the RA example project bundle (
- The source code of the Wi-Fi example projects are also available at RA FSP Example Projects on GitHub. Browse to ra-fsp-examples/example_projects/<kit_name>/wifi_<kit_name>_ep. Example: ra-fsp-examples/example_projects/ek_ra6m3/wifi/wifi_ek_ra6m3_ep
- RX Microcontrollers - In order to use Wi-Fi Pmod Expansion Board with RX Microcontrollers, refer to the CX-RX65N Cloud Kit.

- RTK00WFMX0B01000BE max. HSUART data rate
We want to use an RTK00WFMX0B01000BE Wi-Fi Board together with an Renesas RA6M3 µC in a commercial product.Is there any specification about the max. data rate which can be achieved (using hardware flow control with RTS/CTS) on the HSUART interface ?We couldn't find such spec ...
Aug 15, 2024 - Can I use DA16600 Wi-Fi module instead of Silex Wi-Fi UART Pmod for EK-RA8P1 Wi-Fi example?
Hello, I am working on Wi-Fi connectivity using the EK-RA8P1 board. In the NetX Duo Wi-Fi example project, it is mentioned that Wi-Fi is supported through the Renesas Silex UART Wi-Fi Pmod (RTK00WFMX0B01000BE). However, I do not have the Silex Wi-Fi Pmod module. Instead ...
