RTL8710 Wifi Module is a low-cost wireless IoT platform based on Realtek RTL8710 ARM Cortex-M3 Processor 166MHz. It is tiny but could prove to be an interesting alternative with its stronger MCU, 1MB ROM, 512KB RAM, built-in 1MB Flash, and faster Wifi performance. RTL8710 Wifi Module uses FreeRTOS as the go-to operating system and can be debugged and programmed using RealTek’s RTL8710 SDK over a micro USB connection. It packs up to 17 GPIO, up to 3 I2C, up to 2 PCM, 4 PWM, and two high-speed UART and one low-speed. For Wi-Fi, it has a speed of up to 150 Mbps over an 802.11n connection and a top speed of 54 Mbps over 802.11g. Detailed spec as below.
