The DVK is the perfect platform to provide for early development testing of the BT830 series features and functionality, prior to designing the module onto a host PCB.
The DVK-BT830 includes a USB cable to provide power to the development board. This should be plugged into a PC USB port, a USB hub, or a main adaptor with a USB output. If a hub is used, it should be a powered USB hub to ensure that sufficient current is available at the port.
S/SPI (PIN HEADER – J11) The DVK-BT830 has a 4-wire digital audio port capable of operating in PCM or I2S mode. The port also provides a debug SPI interface to the BT830 for use during test and development. Select between SPI and PCM using the PCM/SPI slide switch...
Figure 3: Pin Headers - J11 and SW5 5.3 4-Wire UART Serial Interface The DVK-BT830 provides access to the HCI interface of BT830 module through pin header J12 (Figure 4) OR through USB (via U9 FTDI USB-UART convertor chip). The default is USB.
USB-to-Virtual COM port on any Windows PC (Win 7 or later). Upon connection, Windows auto-installs the required drivers. For more details and driver downloads, visit http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/FT232R.htm. UART interface driven by USB FTDI chip. In normal operation, the BT830 HCI interface is driven by the FTDI FT232R USB to UART converter.
5.4 Operating Voltage Selection and Push Button Switch CON17 on the DVK-BT830 is used to toggle the operating voltage between 1.8V and 3.3V. This allows you to select a suitable I/O signal voltage level when the DVK-BT830 is connected to your platform.
BT830 radio operates. This can provide insight into power optimization. Current consumed by the BT830 series module is measured as a voltage (that is proportional to the current) using the CSM by connecting measuring voltmeter OR oscilloscope to TP14 Connect measuring voltmeter or oscilloscope GND to TP15.
