Welcome

Welcome to the Renesas Bluetooth® Low Energy MCU Wiki

Introduction

This page is about the Renesas Bluetooth®® Low Energy devices. These are a set of Low Cost, Low Power SoC’s and Modules. The main goal of this page is to make the on-line information better accessible for HW and SW developers.

The Renesas.com website lists information per product; on this page we will present information per topic. We will go through a typical design cycle from Board availability, Getting Started guides till production line testing.

Boards

For each of the Bluetooth® Low Energy products Renesas has 2 types of boards available:

  • Pro devkit: This development kit consist of a Motherboard/Daughterboard and includes the Power Profiling module
  • USB devkit: Small formfactor development. Target device is directly soldered on the board and has no Power Profiling module

Devices with the same Motherboard are grouped together.

Getting started guides

Each of the boards has a getting started guide available. The purpose of such a guide is to help users get a board up and running in as short as possible time. It will explain how to connect the hardware, Install the required SW packages, Compile a first Blinky code and Flash it into the target device.

Board design

The hardware design of battery supplied wireless products requires extra attention. Each of the products has a hardware guidelines document that explains what needs to be considered when designing schematic and layout of a product. Some products have schematics and layout examples available for download. Antenna design is generic for all BLE products. Different antenna topologies are explained in a dedicated document together with design files.

Tools

The respective Getting Started Guides explain which tools need to be installed for each device family. This section will summarize on the tools and list a couple of additional tools that are available.
