User Guide
Introduction
The
RSL10−SENSE−GEVK
RSL10−SENSE−DB−GEVK)
compact, node−to−cloud IoT sensor platform that allows
development of various Bluetooth Low Energy based use
cases. Along with the hardware and software, the
RSL10−SENSE−GEVK includes a mobile app to interact
with sensors and actuators. The board features RSL10,
Industry's lowest power Bluetooth
sensors from ON Semiconductor and Bosch. By combining
motion, environmental, ambient light sensing with the
ultra−low power of the Bluetooth 5 Certified RSL10 and
will enable customers to realize a new class of battery
powered static, mobile and wearable smart sensors targeting
consumer and industrial applications in the IoT.
The overall deep sleep consumption of 20 mA results in a
battery life of over 1 year. For further increase in battery life,
software configuration wizard allows flexible timing setup
as discussed in the following sections.
Variants
There are two SKUs of the RSL10 Sensor kit. Both
variants are pre−loaded with an ultra−low power firmware
and include a 3 V CR2032 coin cell and a flexible NFC
antenna.

RSL10−SENSE−GEVK: Firmware can be flashed via
10−pin needle adapter (e.g. TC2050 from Tag−Connect)
(not included). The 10−pin header for debugger is not
populated on the board.
RSL10−SENSE−DB−GEVK: The "debug" (−DB) version
of the board also includes a low cost Segger debugger
J−Link LITE CortexM and a USB cable. Users can directly
debug/communicate/flash

Scope
The board starts functioning as soon as the coin cell is in
place. This document covers the setup, software
architecture, 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.
Default Configuration
In addition to the RSL10 SiP (System−in−Package), the
following sensors are present on the board.
•
NOA1305, ambient Light sensor
•
N24RF64, NFC EEPROM
•
BME680, environmental sensor (temperature, humidity,
pressure, air quality)
•
BHI160 + BMM150, 3−axis accelerometer, gyroscope,
magnetometer. Together returnabsolute orientation
supported in software
•
INMP522 −> ultra−low power microphone for audio
applications
•
User can insert NFC flexible antenna into dedicated
connector and bend underneath the battery holder for
custom packaging / cases.
