    Apollo2 Blue EVB Quick Start Guide Debug Interface Figure 3 shows the Apollo2 Blue EVB set up for standard debug using the on-board J-Link debugger and on-board power supply configured for 3.3V. Segger J-Link Adapter Figure 3. Apollo2 Blue EVB using On-board J-Link Debugger The debug interface is supported by standard J-Link drivers from Segger.

    OUT” header (J4) on the EVB to the debug header on the target board. The EVB will automatically detect when the “DEBUG OUT” header is connected to another target board and reconfigure the integrated J- Link to connect to this external board rather than the on-board Apollo2 Blue.

  • Page 10 Apollo2 Blue EVB Quick Start Guide Note: A voltage on pin 1 of the J4 header is required for the above mentioned automatic switch to occur. Also, if the target VDD doesn't match the on-board voltage (either 3.3V or 1.9V), and to avoid possible voltage level conflicts on the debug I/O port, VDDIO of the J-Link processor may need to be changed to the target voltage by cutting SB9 and shorting SB10.
  • Page 11: Software Development Tools For The Apollo2 Blue Evb

    Software Development Tools for the Apollo2 Blue EVB The standard Segger J-Link debug interface is used on the Apollo2 Blue EVB. Please install the latest Beta Segger J-Link software, and configure your preferred development IDE (Keil, IAR, or Eclipse) to use J- Link debug interface.

    Apollo2 Blue EVB Quick Start Guide Power Supply Options and Measuring Current There are three power supply options for the Apollo2 Blue EVB: ▪ Operate at 3.3V as provided by the on-board power supply ▪ Operate at 1.9V as provided by the on-board power supply ▪...

    Apollo2 Blue EVB Quick Start Guide a. Note that the Apollo2 Blue EVB supports only Step Down operation for the BLE, and therefore does not sup-port the full voltage range of the device. As an example for setting the jumpers on P19, Figure 7 shows the EVB configured for 3.3V operation with jumper across VDD_PS and VDD_MCU for no current measurement.
