ANT-B10 board hosts a single NINA-B411-40B Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) module, which controls the
antennas and applies an angle calculation algorithm to the received signals to compute tag angles.
The angles are calculated by the u-connectLocate software running on the embedded Microcontroller
Unit (MCU) in the module. The angles are delivered over the UART port of the ANT-B10. Future u-
connectLocate software releases can also include support for USB and SPI interfaces.
For general information about Bluetooth direction finding, watch the u-blox webinars
the Bluetooth SIG technical overview [3].
XPLR-AOA-3 contains the ANT-B10 board as well as an EVB-ANT-1 host board to facilitate
convenient testing.

For information about using the XPLR-AOA-3 kit for indoor positioning and the positioning engine
client software for Windows, see also the Bluetooth indoor positioning guide [21].

integration manual [17].
3.1 Flashing ANT-B10 software
3.1.1 General
The u-connectLocate software is flashed using s-center or flashed directly on the command line.
To flash the software, the UART must be connected to the ANT-B10 board during the kit assembly
(see
UART connections to board)
For software updates and further information about the software, see the u-connectLocate product
page
[10]
and u-connectLocate AT commands manual [18].
3.1.2 Flashing using s-center
ANT-B10 can be flashed over the UART using s-center [7].
☞
Flashing over the UART requires s-center 6.1 or later.
Use the following procedure to flash ANT-B10 using s-center:
1.
Download and unzip the u-connectLocate software container, as described in
flashing.
2.
Open s-center on the correct COM port.
3.
Select Software Update.
4.
In the "Software Update" dialog, select the binary file in the software container, as shown in
Figure
6. Make sure the flashing speed is set to 115200.
5.
Press Update.
