Product details
Overview
AMW007-E04 from Silicon Labs is an evaluation board for the AMW007 Wi-Fi module, designed to enable rapid prototyping of embedded Wi-Fi connectivity via UART interface. It integrates a CP2102N USB-to-UART bridge, dual LEDs and push buttons, expansion header for EFM8/EFM32 starter kits, and supports both station and access point modes using Gecko OS firmware v2.1.5+.
For engineers reviewing the AMW007-E04 datasheet, AMW007-E04 pinout, AMW007-E04 application, or AMW007-E04 equivalent, this kit provides out-of-box UART-based Wi-Fi evaluation on Windows/Linux without driver installation (E04.2+), full command-line Gecko OS interaction, OTA firmware updates via Zentri DMS, and GPIO-peripheral validation with breakout test points.
Technical Context
The AMW007-E04 implements a complete hardware platform for the AMW007 module, featuring automatic power selection between USB (5V) and expansion header (5V), with internal 3.3V regulation. Its CP2102N bridge enables direct virtual COM port access at 115200 baud, configurable via Gecko OS commands.
Gecko OS firmware on the AMW007-E04 exposes UART-based command API for Wi-Fi network join, AP setup, GPIO control, HTTP GET, file I/O, and stream management - all accessible through terminal programs or Simplicity Studio's Xpress Configurator GUI without host MCU dependency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Form Factor | Evaluation board for AMW007 Wi-Fi module - not a standalone IC or discrete component. |
| Interface | UART (via CP2102N USB-to-UART bridge) - enables direct PC communication without external MCU. |
| Wi-Fi Mode Support | Station (client) and Access Point (AP) modes - configurable via Gecko OS CLI commands like network_up and setup web. |
| Firmware | Gecko OS v2.1.5 or newer - required for full feature support; OTA-upgradable via Zentri Device Management Service. |
| Power Sources | USB micro connector (5V) or EXP header (5V/GND) - auto-switching regulator supplies 3.3V to AMW007 module. |
| GPIO Access | Breakout test points for all AMW007 GPIOs (GPIO0–GPIO5), reset, wake, chip enable, boot select, debug TX - supports prototype integration. |

FAQ
Does AMW007-E04 require a driver when connected to Windows or Linux?
No - AMW007-E04 boards labeled E04.2 or higher are recognized automatically by Windows and Linux as CDC ACM devices via the onboard CP2102N USB-to-UART bridge. No VCP driver installation is needed unless automatic enumeration fails, in which case the latest CP210x driver from Silicon Labs should be installed.
What is the default UART configuration for AMW007-E04?
The AMW007-E04 communicates over UART at 115200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit (8N1). This setting is configurable via Gecko OS set uart.baudrate command and persists after save. Terminal programs like Tera Term or CoolTerm must match these settings to establish reliable communication with AMW007-E04.
Can AMW007-E04 operate without a host MCU?
Yes - AMW007-E04 operates in stand-alone mode using its integrated CP2102N bridge to connect directly to a PC. Developers can issue Gecko OS commands (e.g., scan, network_up, http_get) via terminal software without any external microcontroller, making it ideal for initial Wi-Fi validation and scripting workflows.
How do I update the firmware on AMW007-E04?
Firmware updates for AMW007-E04 are performed Over-the-Air (OTA) via the Zentri Device Management Service (DMS). First claim your device using dms claim, then execute ota in the Gecko OS terminal. The process downloads, verifies, and installs new Gecko OS bundles from ota.zentri.com - no JTAG or physical reprogramming is required for AMW007-E04.
What peripherals are included on the AMW007-E04 board?
The AMW007-E04 board includes two mechanical push buttons (BUTTON1 on GPIO0, BUTTON2 on GPIO5), two LEDs (LED1/red on GPIO1, LED2/green on GPIO4), USB micro connector, expansion header compatible with EFM8/EFM32 starter kits, and test points for all AMW007 signals - enabling immediate I/O validation and hardware interaction without soldering or wiring.
