Bluetooth
Development Kit (B-IDK)
Getting Started Guide
INTRODUCTION
This document helps you get started with the Bluetooth Low Energy
IoT Development Kit (B−IDK). The B−IDK is a comprehensive
node−to−cloud and a modular IoT platform that allows development
of various BLE based use cases. Along with the hardware and
software, the B−IDK includes a mobile app to interact with sensors
and actuators.
The B−IDK features RSL10, Industry's lowest power Bluetooth 5
SoC and comprises of a baseboard (BDK−GEVK) and several sensor
and actuator daughter cards. For a complete listing of available
daughter cards, please visit https://www.onsemi.com/B−IDK. The
daughter cards connect to the baseboard, via the two PMOD
connectors and/or the Arduino connector to enable various use cases.
Scope
This document covers the hardware setup, software architecture,
B−IDK documentation and provides instructions on downloading
firmware to the board. The details regarding the mobile app and cloud
connectivity are not covered in this document.
