The purpose of this document is to provide details regarding the setup and use of the TiWi-uB1 module on an EM board. This document covers a description of the EM board and its features and a brief tutorial on how to operate the module EM board.
TiWi-uB1 module. The EM board is intended for evaluation purposes when used by itself or in conjunction with various Texas Instruments development boards. When used by itself, an on-board coin cell battery or external power supply is used to power the TiWi-uB1 and its various peripherals.
TiWi-uB1 Module, RF Castellation (Onboard Antenna Disabled) Table 2 Module Part Numbers The TiWi-uB1 EM board includes an on board U.FL RF connector J3 (Figure 1). When used in conjunction with TiWi-uB1 450-0106, J3 provides an RF connection point to external antennas or test equipment.

Coupling capacitor C1 must be populated to use the external 32kHz clock input. Table 8 External 32kHz Header J9 3.3.4 J8 Programming Header J8 is the Texas Instruments CC Debugger interface to the TiWi-uB1 Module. The debug interface implements a proprietary two-wire serial interface that is used for in-circuit debugging and programming.
Voltage on any digital pin to the TiWi-uB1 shall not exceed Max DVCC + 0.3V ≤ 3.9V or Min -0.3V. When the TPS62730 bypass pin is asserted low, the TPS62730 is bypassed and AVCC/DVCC = VIN Caution: Care must be taken when interfacing a battery powered TiWi-uB1 module to an externally powered Host or other external input.
Stand Alone Mode - This is the most common configuration when using the TiWi-uB1 Module. In this mode, the controller, host, profiles, and application are all implemented on the TiWi-uB1 module as a true standalone Bluetooth BLE solution. No interface to a host is required.
I²C serial bus. External components attached to the I²C bus serially transmit and/or receive serial data to/from the I²C on the TiWi-uB1 module through the two-wire I²C interface. The I²C bus supports any slave or master I²C -compatible device. Figure 5 shows an example of an I²C bus.
5 Application Development 5.1 Overview The TiWi-uB1 EM Board has been designed to work either as a standalone development platform or to be used in combination with one of TI various development platforms. This flexible design platform allows the user to take advantage of the sample applications provided by LSR as well as those provided by TI for the CC2541 SOC.

Four demo services are available in the firmware. Battery level, GPIO, range test, and temperature. 5.2.4 iOS Application The sample LSR iOS application can be used on any Apple device running iOS 5 or later. It is intended to demonstrate the capabilities of the TiWi-uB1 and provides a starting point for users intending to write their own iOS applications.
