nrfl0+ Evaluation System nrfl0+-evsystem INTRODUCTION This document describes the nrfl0+ EVSYSTEM and its use with the Nordic Semiconductor nrfl0+ REFMOD. GETTING STARTED The nrfl0+ EVSYSTEM consists of two boards; a Basic Feature Board (BFB) and a Micro Controller Unit (MCU) module. The BFB contains power supply, connectors, battery holder, LEDs and buttons in order to supply the EVSYSTEM with commonly used features. The MCU module is connected to the BFB trough a 0 pin dual in line socket. The MCU module contains a C0F0 MCU which runs the firmware that comes with the nrfl0+ EVKIT. The nrfl0+ EVSYSTEM must be connected to a PC running the nrfl0+ec software in order to be configured. A description of test setups with the nrfl0+ EVSYSTEM is described in the nrfl0+ Test Setup document. The schematics of the BFB and MCU module are shown in appendix. nrfl0+ EVSYSTEM DESCRIPTION The nrfl0+ REFMOD can be plugged into the nrfl0+ EVSYSTEM as shown in Figure. The nrfl0+ Evaluation and Configuration software that is required to run the nrfl0+ EVSYSTEM is documented in the nrfl0+ec user guide.

nrfl0+ Evaluation System This board is meant as an aid in the early stages of evaluation and protocol testing. It facilitates device configuration, ShockBurst and Enhanced ShockBurst communication. Features of the BFB Power supply: The nrfl0+ EVSYSTEM BFB has two power supply options:. Through the USB cable. From the x AAA battery pack. The switch close to the battery pack must be set to ON to enable supply from the battery. If the USB cable is connected, the power will be sourced from the USB even if the battery switch is set to ON. The nrfl0+ EVSYSTEM BFB has two power regulators, one fixed at.0 Volts and one adjustable. The fixed regulator supplies the MCU module and the adjustable supplies the nrfl0+ REFMOD. The adjustable regulator output voltage can be varied from.9v to.v with the potential meter. It is possible to measure the voltage over pin and on J or with the nrfl0+ec software. LED: There are four yellow LEDs on the nrfl0+ EVSYSTEM BFB. These LEDs are connected to the MCU module and used to indicate status. Please refer to Table for connection details. The usage of these LEDs is described in the nrfl0+ Test Setup document. The green LED on the nrfl0+ EVSYSTEM BFB indicates the state of the battery switch. If it is lit, the battery switch is on. Buttons: There are three buttons on the nrfl0+ EVSYSTEM BFB that are connected to the MCU module. Please refer to Table for connection details. These are used to give input to the MCU during tests. How to use them are described in the nrfl0+ Test Setup document. Rotary Switch: The rotary switch is used to set an unique USB identifier on the nrfl0+ EVSYSTEM. This identifier is used to distinguish between different nrfl0+ EVSYSTEM boards connected to the same PC. If multiple nrfl0+ EVSYSTEM boards are going to be connected to the same PC at the same time, ensure that each board has its rotary switch set to a value different from the other boards. SPI Interface: This connector can be used to connect a logic analyzer to the same SPI bus as the nrfl0+ REFMOD is connected to. It will then be possible to monitor the SPI traffic and control signal handling between the nrfl0+ and the MCU. The pin out of this connector is shown in Table.

This MCU has both a SPI interface and a USB interface. It runs the firmware for the nrfl0+ EVKIT. It is possible to replace the firmware in the MCU with two methods:. Firmware upgrade in the nrfl0+ec software. This should only be done when receiving a new version of the firmware from Nordic Semiconductor ASA.. By using the programming interface, J, on the MCU module. This can be desired when developing a proprietary application. The programming interface is compatible with the C0F0DK from Silicon Laboratories.
