Adafruit WINC1500 Wifi Shield

Overview

The Adafruit WINC1500 Wifi shield is an Arduino compatible shield based on the ATWINC1500 wifi controller from Microchip. The shield also provides a micro SD card socket

The SD card socket is currently not supported

More information about the shield can be found at the Adafruit WINC1500 website [1].

Pins Assignment of the Adafruit WINC1500 WiFi Shield

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
