Introduction; Overview; Intended Audience; Conventions - ON Semiconductor RSL10 Getting Started

1.1 O
VERVIEW
RSL10 is a multi-protocol, Bluetooth
consumption in the industry. It is designed to be used in devices that require high performance and advanced wireless
features, with minimal system size and maximized battery life. The RSL10 Software Development Kit (SDK) includes
firmware, software, example projects, documentation, and development tools. The Eclipse-based ON Semiconductor
Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is offered as a free download with optional support for Arm
Vision ®
and IAR Embedded Workbench
Software components, device and board support information are delivered using the CMSIS-Pack standard.
Standard CMSIS-Drivers for peripheral interfaces and FreeRTOS sample applications are supported. With the
CMSIS-Pack standard, you can easily go beyond what is included in our software package and have access to a variety
of generic Cortex-M software components. If you have existing RSL10 projects and have not used the RSL10
CMSIS-Pack before, see Appendix A, "Migrating to CMSIS-Pack" on page 48 for more information.
The RSL10 SDK allows for rapid development of ultra-low power Bluetooth Low Energy applications. Convenient
abstraction decouples user application code from system code, allowing for simple modular code design. Features such
as FOTA (Firmware Over-the-Air) can easily be added to any application. Advanced debugging features such as
support for SEGGER® RTT help developers monitor and debug code. Sample applications, from Blinky to
ble_peripheral_server_bond and everything in between, help get software development moving quickly. An optional
Bluetooth mesh networking CMSIS-Pack quickly enables mesh networking for any application.
This document helps you to get started with the RSL10 SDK. It guides you through the process of connecting your
RSL10 Evaluation and Development Board, installing an IDE and the CMSIS-Pack, configuring your environment, and
building and debugging your first RSL10 application.
NOTE: RSL10 contains a low power DSP processor core; see RSL10 LPDSP32 Software Package.zip for
more information.
