Description

The STEVAL-IDB005V1 is an evaluation platform

based on BlueNRG-MS, a low power Bluetooth®

Smart IC, compliant with the Bluetooth® 4.1

specifications and supporting both master and

slave roles. The STEVAL-IDB005V1 is composed

of an RF daughterboard and a microcontroller

motherboard. The RF daughterboard features the

BlueNRG-MS device, an SMA connector for an

antenna or measuring instruments and an SPI

connector for an external microcontroller. The

motherboard is based on the STM32L, acting as

external microcontroller driving the BlueNRG-MS

device. A JTAG connector allows microcontroller

firmware development.
