oped by Tuya Smart. It consists of a highly integrated wireless RF chip RTL8720CF with built-in Wi-Fi stacks and various library functions. It combines a low-power KM4 microcontroller unit (MCU), WLAN MAC, and 1T1R (1 transmitter/1 receiver) design. It provides output frequency up to 100 MHz, 256 KB embedded SRAM, 2 MB flash memory, and configurable GPIOs that can function as digital peripherals for various applications. MDWBRCU1 is a real-time operating system (RTOS), integrated with all Wi-Fi MAC and TCP/IP libraries. You can develop your own embedded Wi-Fi products. 1.1 Features Built-in low-power KM4 MCU that provides output frequency up to 100 MHz and also acts as an application processor.
