1. Product Overview
 WRG1 is a low power-consuming built-in Wi-Fi module developed by Hangzhou Tuya 
Information Technology Co., Ltd. It consists of a highly integrated radio frequency chip 
(RTL8711AM) and an external flash chip, with a built-in Wi-Fi network protocol stack and robust 
library functions. WRG1 also contains a low power-consuming ARM-Cortex M3 MCU, a 
WLAN MAC, a 1T1R WLAN, and the maximum basic frequency of 166 MHz, and is embedded 
with a 2MB SDRAM ,4Mbyte flash, and robust peripheral resources. 
WRG1 is an RTOS platform that integrates all the function libraries of the Wi-Fi MAC 
and TCP/IP protocols. You can develop built-in Wi-Fi products as required.
