Bluetooth QuickStart Kit Version 1.0 - User’s Guide Page 4
Copyright 2004-2005 © Embedded Artists AB
1 Introduction
Thank you for buying Embedded Artists’ Bluetooth QuickStart Kit based on the LPC2106
ARM7™ microcontroller from Philips and cb-OEMSPA-13i industrial Bluetooth module
from connectBlue.
The Bluetooth QuickStart Kit contains a pre-designed platform, both hardware and software,
with all necessary infrastructure functionality for using Bluetooth in industrial applications.
The kit allows you to quickly evaluate the applicability of Bluetooth in YOUR application.
Extensive documentation is included in order to lower the threshold of start using the kit
even further. You can start to develop and include your own application on day 1.
The LPC2106 microcontroller from Philips is used on the board. It is part of Philips new
ARM7TDMI-based family of high-performance microcontrollers.
This document is a User’s Guide that describes the Bluetooth Quickstart Kit with
accompanying software and program development tools. Amongst other, the document
contains information about the included software and a description on how to develop and
add your own application. Also, electrical and mechanical information about the board is
included.
1.1 Contents
The box received when ordering the Bluetooth QuickStart Kit contains the following:
• One Bluetooth QuickStart Board including one cB-OEMSPA-13i Bluetooth module
from connectBlue.
• One 64 Mbyte (or larger) SD memory card.
• One CD-ROM which includes all necessary software to start developing your
application program. It contains complete as well as evaluation versions of different
development environments along with a lot of sample applications.
• One DC power supply, 5 volt 300 mA. Observe that the Bluetooth QuickStart Board
does not contain any reverse polarity protection. If voltage is applied with wrong
polarity, the board will likely be damaged. Also observe that 6.0 volt is the absolute
maximum voltage that can be applied without damaging the on-board voltage
regulator (TPS70251). Consult the TPS70251 datasheet for exact details.
Always use the included DC power supply to avoid possible damages.
• One serial extension cable, DB9-male to DB9-female (DB9M-DM9F), for
connecting the Bluetooth QuickStart Board to a PC.
In addition, you may want the following in order to start developing applications with the
Bluetooth QuickStart Board:
• An optional JTAG interface, for program development debugging.
Observe that a JTAG interface is not needed for downloading new programs into the
Bluetooth QuickStart Board. This can be done through the serial channel, but a JTAG
interface enables better control over the processor and better debug support.
1.2 Using Bluetooth QuickStart Kit in Products
The Bluetooth Quickstart Board is not primarily designed for use in volume productions. It
has been designed as a reference platform that illustrates how Bluetooth can be used and as
an experimentation platform. The board can be used for low-volume production. Low-cost
bulk packages (10, or more boards) exist. Contact Embedded Artists for OEM pricing issues.
