6.5 Connecting the ProDev Kit to the host PC
The ProDev Kit motherboard includes FTDI chipset U1 FT2232HLwhich allow easy communication
with the development host over USB. The FT2232HL implements the USB to UART function and
ensure the connectivity of PC to the DA14585/586 SoC UART port and to current sense circuitry
through SPI connection with ADC U4. The chip is supplied with a 3.3V from U13. A 12MHz crystal Y1
is required for the chip operation.
The ProDev Kit motherboard also includes an embedded J-Link debugger U6 SAM3U2CA which
ensures the USB to JTAG function by loading the software from Segger to the ROM of U6. The chip
is supplied with a 3.3V from U13 which is enabled by PWR_ENABLE signal.
Before connecting the ProDev Kit to the host PC, make sure that the motherboard and the desired
daughterboard module are properly connected.
A choice can be made between 3.3 V (via USB: J11 1-2) or VDD (a coin cell: J11 2-3). No battery is
needed when running via the mini-USB cable.
Note:
• The ProDev Kit is connected to the host PC over the connector marked as USB (J12),
as shown in Figure 5 using a standard mini-USB cable.
• When mounting a battery on the daughterboard, Jumper J11 should be fitted on 2-3
position.
• For proper battery functionality, a small modification should be made. See the
workaround in Appendix C.
7 DA14585/586 Software Installation
This section describes the installation procedure for the drivers, the configuration of the serial port, and
all necessary steps to verify the connection with the PC. It also provides solutions to problems that
may occur.
7.1 Requirements of the Development PC
For proper evaluation and application development using the DA14585/586 SoC and the ProDev Kit,
an external host is required. This external host must have a Microsoft Windows already installed and
USB ports as described in Section 6.
7.2 Driver Installation
On first connection to a host PC running Microsoft Windows, the system will detect several devices
and will automatically install all necessary drivers. If the system is configured to use Microsoft Windows
Update, this may take several minutes to complete.
When the driver installation is complete, the system displays a Microsoft Windows similar to the one
presented in Figure 6.

Figure 6: Windows Driver Installation
There are two virtual COM ports created by the Windows driver. The first COM port (lower number,
COM28 in this example) provides a UART interface between the PC and the DA14585/586 device.
The second (higher number, COM29 in this example) is used to export measurement data from the
current sense circuitry on the ProDev Kit to the Power Profiler tool. For more information on the Power
Profiler, see the SmartSnippets Toolbox User Manual (UM-B-083).
Note: The COM port numbers assigned to the ProDev Kit motherboard might be different to the
ones shown in Figure 6.
Note: If Your PC has a serial port on it, then that's the COM1 you're seeing. Hence you can't
make a communication between the ProDev Kit board and the Windows on that port. But you
can do it only by using the other lowest COM port, COM28 in this case.
The COM port numbers can be found in the Windows Device Manager (Control Panel > Device
Manager > Ports (COM & LPT)) as shown in Figure 7.

7.3 Configuring the Serial Port for UART
Several development tools require UART to be routed to the FTDI serial port. Refer to Figure 31 in
Appendix B for the ProDev Kit board connection verification and on how to properly configure the
specific port.
7.3.1 Using Serial Port
To make sure that the communication between the ProDev Kit board and the Windows development
host is properly established, it is necessary to verify the UART connection between the two nodes.
On the Windows host, Tera Term can be used to validate the connection to the ProDev Kit by following
these steps:
1. Connect the ProDev Kit board to the PC via USB cable. The location of the board's USB port is
shown in Figure 5.
2. Use the Windows Device Manager to verify that the host discovered two serial ports – the first of
which is connected to UART, see Figure 7.
3. Open Tera Term from the Windows Start menu as shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8: Start Tera Term
4. In the Tera Term: New connection dialog, select Serial, then select the COM Port to use, and
click OK.
5. Select Setup > Serial Port and configure your UART port using the parameters shown in Table 1
(you need to be an administrator on your local machine), see Figure 9.

7.4 Troubleshooting
If there any problems with the ProDev Kit connection to PC some possible solutions might be:
• Make sure that your FTDI drivers are up to date. Drivers are available from the FTDI website.
• Check for possible cabling issues by using a different USB cable.
• Connect the two elements using a different USB port on the host PC.
• Make sure that the hardware configuration is set for Pro development Kit, see Figure 30 in
Appendix A.
Note: If none of these actions resolve the issue, please contact Dialog Tools Forums.

9.2 The Barebone BLE Example Application
The Barebone BLE example application demonstrates basic BLE procedures such as advertising,
connection, updating connection parameters, and implementation of the Device Information Service
Server (DISS). See the Bluetooth SIG for more details.
1. Open the folder containing the SDK files. This is the folder where you extracted the SDK zip file.
2. In <sdk_root_directory>\projects\target_apps\ble_examples\ble_app_barebone\Keil_5, doubleclick ble_app_barebone.uvproj to open the project in Keil.
Figure 28: Barebone BLE Project directory
Figure 29 shows the Keil project layout.

3. To execute the code and run the example, repeat steps 3 to 14 in The Blinky Peripheral Example
Application.

The barebone application does not use the UART and so the only jumpers required are those for
the debugger interface as noted in Table 3.
4. Use the Android application BLE Scanner to scan for, and connect to, the DIALOG-BRBN app,
see Figure 30.
Figure 30: Barebone BLE: Interacting with BLE Application
Your BLE application is now running and advertising using the default advertiser string: "DIALOGBRBN".
Note: In this example, we used an Android application but you can also use the LightBlue iOS
application to connect an iPad/iPod/iPhone device to the application.
Note: When you change the advertising name of your device and you don’t want your
iPhone/iPad... to connect to it anymore, it’s easy to make your device forget about it. Follow
easy steps mentioned in the Apple Support Communities and your iPhone won’t remember your
Bluetooth device. If you change your mind, no worries, you can pair the device as though it
were new.
When multiple device use the same BD address in the same room test, it is highly
recommended to changes manually your BD address or use the static random address
(advanced) to avoid any conflict, You can refer to Tutorial 1: Advertising contents

default is the ProDev Kit.
Figure 31: Hardware Settings for Pro Development Kit
10.2 Appendix B: Latency Timer of the FTDI cable
If an external FTDI cable is used to burn the OTP (or to download the image into the external memory),
the latency timer of the FTDI cable has to be changed from 15 ms to <10 ms.
To change the latency timer:
1. In the Windows Device Manager, expand the list of COM ports.
2. Right click on the required COM port and select Properties.
3. In the Port Settings tab, click Advanced.
4. Set the Latency Timer to < 10 ms.

10.3 Appendix C: Battery Connection ‘Workaround’
There is a small hardware malfunction; when the board operates on battery (J11 jumper on 2-3), the
RST signal is permanently high.
When USB is disconnected, T_RESET becomes low and the invertor U7 RST is high. This prevents
the board from operating.
The workaround is to dismount R84, see Figure 33.

10.4 Appendix D: Power Bouncing Workaround
DA14585/586 daughterboards are supplied from the motherboard through a jumper in header J11.
See the 3V3 Generation and battery selection for DA14580 and Peripherals section in the
DA14585/586 DEVKT-Pro MAINBOARD Electrical Schematic.
Inserting this jumper when the daughterboard is mounted on the motherboard may cause bouncing
issues. Α hardware workaround is implemented on DA14585 and DA14586 QFN40 daughterboards.
