STMicroelectronics AEK-COM-BLEV1 Evaluation Board

STMicroelectronics AEK-COM-BLEV1 Evaluation Board is based on the BlueNRG-1 low power BLUETOOTH® smart system on chip. The board can connect 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.
