Chapter 1: Introduction
The SX-560 embedded intelligent module provides a complete solution for integrating wireless networking
technology into virtually any OEM product that has an RS-232 or UART serial port, or a USB V1.1 port. It
has a main printed circuit board that contains a processor, memory, flash memory, three (3) serial ports
(one dedicated for use as a console) plus a USB V1.1 host port and an SPI port. The wireless LAN
functionality is provided through an SDIO 802.11a/b/g radio daughtercard based on the Atheros
AR6001XL chipset. The SX-560 measures 49.6 x 34.3 x 9.65 mm (1.95 x 1.35 x 0.38 inches).
The SX-560-6900 Evaluation Daughtercard is available to expedite the development process. This board
includes an RJ45 Ethernet connector, three 9-pin serial connectors, one USB connector, header
connectors for all major I/O, power supply, antenna, cables, and software.
