General Platform Block Diagram
The WL1271 connectivity solution is available in the form of a COM6M module. This board connects to the EVM main board using COM6 connector.

Because this board draws power from the Main EVM board via two sources; 1.8V VIO supply and Vbat (battery supply), no additional power source is needed to power this board.
