USB840F/M/X BLE 5, Thread, Zigbee Dongles
OpenSource with Market Ready Enclosure
USB840 Series dongles support Bluetooth 5, Thread, or
Zigbee radio protocols. They are in market ready enclosure
and pre-certified. OpenSource codes are available to
expedite your firmware development.
Dongles are preloaded with Nordic USB CDC ACM secure
boot loader. It can be booted and firmware updated from a
PC.
USB840F
USB840F embedded a long-range
module BT840F. Range between 2
modules (not in enclosure) is 2300
meters at 125 Kbps. It has 2 user
definable LED indicators and 2
buttons for reset or set to boot
loader mode.
USB840X
Using BT840X with +21 dBm TX, BWG832X can penetrate
multiple walls or be used in wide area Bluetooth mesh
applications.
Size and features of USB840X are the same as that of
USB840F.

USB840M
Using compact module BC840M, USB840M is a compact
dongle. It has an LED indicator and a button to set to boot
loader mode for application firmware update.
Nordic nRF52 Development Environment
Nordic nRF52 development environment should be used.
Open source codes are available at:

USB DFU
The Bluetooth dongle is supported by an USB DFU
Firmware Upgrade feature. This allows for in the field
updates of application firmware and SoftDevice.
Module Bluetooth Range
Bluetooth ranges are measured between 2 modules
not in enclosure. Enclosure will reduce Bluetooth
range by about 20%. More obstruction in typical
dongle application environment than our testing
environment, Bluetooth range is shorter than listed
below.
Bluetooth range between an USB840F/X and a
smartphone is much shorter because smartphone
Bluetooth interface is not long range.

USB840F/M/X BLE 5, Thread, Zigbee Dongles Ver 1.00 May 2019 1. Hardware Description USB840F/X Hardware Description USB840F and USB840X use the same enclosure and host PCB. LED1 (red color) and LED2 (blue color) are not silkscreened on enclosure. Operation voltage of blue LED is higher than 1.8V DC output voltage of nRF52840 after chiperase. -
Page 4: Usb840M Hardware Description
USB840M has a Bootloader button and an LED indicator. Bootloader button is at one side of enclosure. It is not necessary to open the enclosure to load application program. USB840M is ultrasound sealed. Programming your own bootloader with private key is possible only in Fanstel factory. -

The internal RC oscillator must be enabled. USB840X includes 32.768 KHz sleep crystal. Preloaded Bootloader and Private Key USB840F dongle is pre-programmed with an USB bootloader. - Page 6 USB840F/M/X BLE 5, Thread, Zigbee Dongles Ver 1.00 May 2019 The following is screenshot for running these commands.

Page 7: Bt840F/X Hardware Setup For Programming Bootloader
We recommend using USB840F for development. Programming service is available from Fanstel. Or, you can continue to use Fanstel bootloader and “published” private key. It is not secure. You can load your application program by pressing the Bootloader button at one side of enclosure during powering up. - Page 8 USB840F/M/X BLE 5, Thread, Zigbee Dongles Ver 1.00 May 2019 After Executing chiperase, VDD in dongle is set to 1.8V. To use 3.3V VDD, change setting in the UICR register. The command to write UICR->REGOUT0 to output 3.3V supply voltage is: nrfjprog --memwr 0x10001304 --val fffffff5 After programming this bootloader.
