BL653 Development Kit¶

Hardware¶

Platform Nordic nRF52: The nRF52 Series are built for speed to carry out increasingly complex tasks in the shortest possible time and return to sleep, conserving precious battery power. They have a Cortex-M4F processor and are the most capable Bluetooth Smart SoCs on the market.

Configuration¶

Please use laird_bl653_dvk ID for board option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):

[env:laird_bl653_dvk]
platform = nordicnrf52
board = laird_bl653_dvk

You can override default BL653 Development Kit settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest laird_bl653_dvk.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:laird_bl653_dvk]
platform = nordicnrf52
board = laird_bl653_dvk

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = nrf52833

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 64000000L

Uploading¶

BL653 Development Kit supports the following uploading protocols:

• blackmagic

• cmsis-dap

• jlink

• mbed

• nrfjprog

• stlink

Default protocol is jlink

You can change upload protocol using upload_protocol option:

[env:laird_bl653_dvk]
platform = nordicnrf52
board = laird_bl653_dvk

upload_protocol = jlink

Debugging¶

Debugging - “1-click” solution for debugging with a zero configuration.

You can switch between debugging Tools & Debug Probes using debug_tool option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File).

BL653 Development Kit has on-board debug probe and IS READY for debugging. You don’t need to use/buy external debug probe.
