The AEK-COM-BLEV1 evaluation board is based on the BlueNRG-1 low power Bluetooth®smart system on chip, compliant with the Bluetooth®specification. The evaluation board can be connected to a microcontroller via a 12-pin or alternative 9-pin male connector for SPI, serial interface or I²C communication. The BlueNRG-1 device is supplied with the network processor software loaded and ready to process Bluetooth commands. The software image (DTM_UART.hex) is available in the BlueNRG design kit. The STSW-AEKBLE firmware provides a straightforward demonstration of the AEK-COM-BLEV1 board functionality used in conjunction with the AEK-MCU-C4MLIT1 evaluation board with microcontroller.
