STMicroelectronics STEVAL-IDB012V1 Evaluation Platform

STMicroelectronics STEVAL-IDB012V1 Evaluation Platform is intended to develop and test BLUETOOTH® Low Energy applications using the low power BlueNRG-LPS system-on-chip, in combination with inertial and environmental MEMS sensors, a digital MEMS microphone, and various interface buttons and LEDs.

The BlueNRG-LPS system-on-chip features a 64MHz, 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M0+ core, 192KB programmable flash memory, 24KB SRAM, MPU, and an extensive peripheral set (4x PWM, I²C, SPI/I2S, SPI, USART, LPUART, and 12-bit ADC SAR). Additionally, the BlueNRG-LPS supports master, slave, simultaneous master and slave roles, data length extension, 2Mbps, long-range, extended advertising and scanning, channel selection algorithm #2, GATT caching, LE ping procedure, LE power control, and path loss monitoring, and direction finding (angle of arrival/angle of departure) options.

Serial communication with a PC and three power options (USB only, battery only, and external power supply) allow complex application development and testing flexibility for the STEVAL-IDB012V1 evaluation platform.
