Sabre-AI external mudules

JHY — Tue, 16 Aug 2016 05:27:46 GMT

Sabre-AI board has external module connectors for GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi.

Are there recomended devices or information for those modules?

Hi JHY,

as GPS you can use any GPS module connected over UART. In Linux are drivers for this. For BT/WiFi are preferred Atheros chips for ex.: SX-SDCAN | SDIO Radios | Silex Technology America

Hope it helps

Silex BT/Wifi is mentioned in SABRE-SDP documents.

Is it same for SABRE-AI?

Yes, software support is same for both.

The following WiFi/BT components have been tested on both SABRE-SD and SABRE-AI boards.

1. SDIO cards based on the Atheros AR6103 802.11 b/g/n single-chip WiFi solution.

2. SX-SDCAN 802.11a/b/g/n + BT SDIO Card by Silex, based on the Qualcomm Atheros AR6233 single-chip solution.

3. The solutions based on the BCM4339 chip by Broadcom.

Regarding GPS, generally, any GPS chipset that supports NMEA protocol through

the UART interface can be used. The tested solution is the AR1520A chipset from Atheros.

Have a great day,
Artur
