UM2094 STEVAL-IDB007Vx Evaluation Boards User Manual

Introduction

The STEVAL-IDB007Vx (STEVAL-IDB007V1/STEVAL-IDB007V2) is an evaluation board based on BlueNRG-1 (QFN32 package).

The STEVAL-IDB008Vx (STEVAL-IDB008V1/STEVAL-IDB008V2) is an evaluation board based on BlueNRG-2 (QFN32 package).

The STEVAL-IDB008V1M is an evaluation board based on BlueNRG-M2SA module (BlueNRG-2 QFN32 package).

The STEVAL-IDB009Vx (STEVAL-IDB009V1) is an evaluation board based on BlueNRG-2 (QFN48 package).

BlueNRG-1 (QFN32 package) and BlueNRG-2 (QFN32 and QFN48 packages) are low power Bluetooth® smart systems-onchip compliant with the Bluetooth® specification and support master, slave and simultaneous master-and-slave roles.

The document content is valid for the STEVAL-IDB007Vx, STEVAL IDB008Vx and STEVAL-IDB009Vx platforms. Any specific difference is highlighted whenever it is needed.

Getting started

The evaluation board is preprogrammed with sensor profile firmware (BLE_SensorDemo.hex), which allows setting and establishing a connection with a smartphone (iOS or Android).

Any Bluetooth Low Energy device like a smartphone can connect to the BLE sensor profile demo. For example, the LightBlue application can connect to the sensor profile device. When you use the LightBlue application, detected devices appear on the screen with the BlueNRG name. By tapping on the box to connect to the device, the screen shows a list of all the available services; tapping a service shows the characteristics for that service. The sensor profile firmware implements a proprietary Bluetooth profile that exposes two services: acceleration and environmental service.

The acceleration service contains the following characteristics:

• acceleration, which gives the current value of the acceleration detected by the MEMS sensor on the evaluation board
• free fall characteristic, which allows detection of free-fall condition by the LSM6DS3 MEMS sensor on the evaluation board (the condition is detected if the acceleration on the three axes is near zero for a certain amount of time).

The environmental service contains characteristics that expose data from some environmental sensors, such as temperature sensors.

Powering up the evaluation board running the sensor profile firmware

(peripheral role)

Two power options are available:

• Batteries – To power the selected evaluation board using batteries, 2 AAA batteries must be inserted into the battery holder at the rear of the board, and jumper JP1 set to position 2-3 and jumper JP2 set to position 1-2 (Figure 7. Board power options).
  Note: In battery operating mode, if R59, R60 and R62 resistors are mounted, you should remove them to make LSM6DS3 function correctly

• USB – To power the selected evaluation board through USB, jumper JP1 must be in position 1-2 and jumper JP2 set to position 2-3 (Figure 7. Board power options ). Connect a USB cable to the micro-USB connector (Figure 7. Board power options) and to a PC USB port.

Once powered, the evaluation board sensor profile firmware starts advertising, waiting for a smartphone to connect to it.

Software demonstration applications

• In order to develop a software application for the STEVAL-IDB007Vx, STEVAL-IDB008Vx or STEVALIDB009Vx evaluation board, it is recommended to start with the reference demonstration applications provided within the BlueNRG-1_2 DK SW package for BlueNRG-1, BlueNRG-2 BLE stack v2.x family (STSW-BLUENRG1-DK) available on the STEVAL-IDB007Vx, STEVAL IDB008Vx, STEVAL-IDB009Vx web pages.
• Unzip the file, launch the related installer and follow installation steps.
• Wait for the package installation to complete.
• The Projects folder in DK SW package contains the available demonstration applications, IAR projects, sources and header files.
• IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM (EWARM) tool is needed for building and downloading software applications running on the BlueNRG-1, BlueNRG-2 microcontrollers.

Note:

For a description of the available BlueNRG-1, BlueNRG-2 demonstration applications and supported platforms, refer to BlueNRG-1, BlueNRG-2 development kits user manual available on the related web page. The BLE_SensorDemo.hex prebuilt binary images for BlueNRG-1, BlueNRG-2 platforms are also provided within the DK software package, in the Firmware folder. Keil MDK-ARM and WiSE-Studio for ARM (GCC) toolchains projects are also available.
