TS-4100 Standalone Mode

The TS-4100 features the ability to be operated in Standalone Mode, what Standalone Mode does is it allows the TS-4100 to be fully functional right out of the box without the need for a SoM baseboard. Standalone Mode provides for a compact, low power device with built-in WiFi/4.0LE interfaces and features a combination of soldered down flash as well as support for microSD cards. Although the TS-4100 system allows for a more compact solution it also limits the features that the system has to offer when expanded from a SoM baseboard or daughter card. In order to expand functionality the TS-4100 will need to be mated to a SoM baseboard, see the TS-4100 product page for a complete list of compatible baseboards and links to their manuals. Compatible baseboards have schematics available to aid in development of custom solutions. The TS-4100-SRW2I and the TS-4100-SRW8I models feature a daughter card interface at the header expansion "HD1", this 2x8 header offers expanded functionality which features: Power, DIO x5, SPI & I2C.

Note:

Some of the functionality may be limited due to the absence of a SoM basbeboard or daughter card.

Booting up the TS-4100 in Standalone Mode

In order to supply power to the TS-4100 in Standalone Mode a 5V power supply will be required to power the unit via the micro USB AB port labeled "P1" see the Booting up the board section for more info.

Get a console in Standalone Mode

To obtain console in Standalone Mode connect a micro USB Type B cable to the micro USB type B port labeled "P2" , with the other end going to a USB port on the workstation that is hosting the debug console, see the Getting Started section. The Micro USB type B port "P2" hosts a USB virtual serial port via the supervisory microcontroller, see the Get a Console section for more info.
