BLE MOD

ehubels
ehubels over 2 years ago

I've bought a couple of BLE MOD's for the AVNET Azure Sphere Developemnt Baord V2. I need to programm the BLE MOD, the Laird documentation tell me I need at least RTS, TXD, RXD, CTS,  and RTD exposed. I don't see a USB/TTL programmer that actually exposes all of those, any suggestions?

    ehubels The Avnet BLE PMOD has a JTAG (mini 10-pin header) that can be used to flash firmware onto the Nordic nRF52840 using a J-Link debugger like the J-Link EDU Mini (segger.com) . I had to flash…

    RTD or DTR? I don’t know what RTD is.

    Hi Brian, Yeap, that's what I figured out, hence the first thing to do is build an example app, yours, so I ordered the J-Link, still cheaper than building one.

    Hi,

    If you mean DTR, then you could DIY one:

     Building a USB-C USB-UART Board 

    That one has RXD, TXD, RTS, CTS and DTR. The PCB files are at that link, and Farnell has the Cypress chip in-stock. There may be ready-made USB UART boards with that chip, but I don't know if they expose the pins, whereas that DIY board does. I use that board regularly, although I don't often need the additional flow control pins, and it has been reliable. 

    I don't know what voltage you need, but that board supports 5V and 3.3V, and 1.8V is possible too, although the 1.8V option needs a wire link patched on the board.

    However, perhaps you can use SWD (i.e. using any J-Link programmer, or alternatively use the Laird development kit for that BLE module, which contains an on-board J-Link). I've not used these Laird devices, but I think that SWD may work.
