Shield Connector Pin

Function

D4

MicroSD SPI CSn (Not supported)

D5

WINC1500 RST (/Reset of winc1500)

D6 (b)

WINC1500 EN (Enable of winc1500)

D7

WINC1500 IRQ (IRQ from winc1500)

D10

WINC1500 SPI CSn

D11 (a)

SPI MOSI (Serial Data Input)

D12 (a)

SPI MISO (Serial Data Out)

D13 (a)

SPI SCK (Serial Clock Input)

The pins marked (a) must be jumpered to the SPI port at the shield To enable low power support, wire the pin marked (b) to the En connector at the shield

Requirements

This shield can only be used with a board which provides a configuration for Arduino connectors and defines node aliases for SPI and GPIO interfaces (see Shields for more details).

Programming

Set -DSHIELD=adafruit_winc1500 when you invoke west build. For example:

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b frdm_k64f samples/net/wifi -- -DSHIELD=adafruit_winc1500
