Ai-Thinker WB2-13-Kit BL602 Wi-Fi BLE Dev Board

The Ai-Thinker WB2-13-Kit is a development board designed for the Ai-WB2-13 wireless module. It uses the BL602 chip platform and provides a compact board-level path for testing 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0, serial flashing, GPIO expansion, and embedded IoT hardware integration.

According to the official Ai-WB2-13-Kit specification, the board supports IEEE 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, BLE 5.0, 2400MHz to 2483.5MHz wireless operation, UART / GPIO / ADC / PWM / I2C / SPI interfaces, 4MByte flash, Type-C power, RGB status indication, reset control, and a dedicated burn button workflow for firmware download.

Integration Notes & Hardware Guidance

• Power Supply – Use Type-C power for evaluation where possible, or provide a stable 5V / 3.3V pin supply with at least 500mA current capacity.
• 3.3V Domain – Treat module IO as 3.3V logic and add level shifting if external peripherals use another voltage domain.
• Firmware Download – Follow the board workflow: press the burn button and then press reset when entering firmware download mode.
• Antenna Clearance – Keep the onboard PCB antenna away from metal, shield cans, batteries, displays, and dense high-frequency circuits.
• Interface Planning – Confirm UART, GPIO, ADC, PWM, I2C, SPI, reset, boot, and RGB indicator usage before migrating from the kit to a custom design.
• Reserved Pins – Avoid using pins marked NC or shared with internal flash unless the final design has been reviewed against the official pin table.
• Power Noise – Add local decoupling and keep the power path low impedance to avoid brownout during Wi-Fi transmit bursts.
• Security Review – Plan secure startup, firmware signing, encryption, and debug access before moving from evaluation to production.
• RF Validation – Test range, packet stability, BLE behavior, and Wi-Fi throughput with the final enclosure and regional channel plan.
