0 FEEU APOLLO EVALUATION

The Fujitsu Apollo Evaluation Platform is compatible with Ambiq Micro Apollo 1 or Apollo 2. The platform consists of two parts: The br eakout b oard and the base board. The breakout boards for Apollo 1 and Apollo 2 are pin-compatible but not totally functional compatibe. Therefore only some jumper settings need adjustment to setup the base board for Apollo 1 or Apollo 2 usage.

Both parts can easily plug together:

FEEU Ultra-Low-Power Apollo Evaluation Kit Platform

FEEU APOLLO EVALUATION

The Fujitsu Apollo Evaluation Platform includes a nano/micro power/energy measurement probe to enable easy power measurement via PC without the need of an expensive multimeter or power probe. The on-board CMSIS-DAP compatible debugger works driverless with common toolchains like IAR Workbench or ARM/Keil µVision, but is also supported by a free-of-charge t oolchain iSys tem WinIDEA O pen. For additi onal communi cation to the P C, the on-board CMSIS-DAP compatible chip “Fujitsu D-Bug” supports USB to UART conversion.

The Fujitsu Evaluation Platform includes additional software examples (based on MCU templates) to the Ambiq Micro’s SDK. It offers MCU Templates as a kind of a common project framework or software framework needed for developers to have an easy start in development with MCUs. Following IDEs are supported:

•

ARM (Keil μVision)

• Atollic (Atollic TrueStudio)

• Eclipse

• emIDE

•

iSYSTEM WinIDEA Open

•

IAR (IAR Embedded Workb

for ARM Cortex M)

• Makefile (GNU)

1 Introduction SK-APOLLO-BASE

The SK-AMAPOLLO-BASE-V11 evaluation board includes a low-cost evaluation board usable with FEEUs Ambiq Micro Apollo break-out boards SK-AMAP1-BREAKOUT-V11 (Apollo 1) and SK-AMAP2-BREAKOUT-V11 (Apollo 2).

1.1 Scope of delivery

- Apollo base–board SK-AMAPOLLO-BASE-V11 in ESD bag

- USB-Mico cable Not scope of delivery: SK-AMAP1-BREAKOUT-V11 / SK-AMAP2-BREAKOUT-V11

FEEU Ultra-Low-Power Apollo Evaluation Kit Platform

Chapter 1 Introduction SK-APOLLO-BASE

1.2 Overview

The SK-APOLLO-BASE is used with Apollo1 or Apollo2 breakout boards (not included). After setting the jumpers for Apollo 1 or Apollo 2 usage the following features of the baseboard can be used:

- Arduino UNO headers

o 5 Analo g pins (or digital pins) o 16 digital pins o I2C interface o SPI int erface

- RGB LED

- 2 Buttons

- 1 Reset Button

- USB to Serial Wire Debug (SWD), CMSIS-DAP compatible

- USB to UART

- USB to power measurement

The breakout bo ar d i t s el f has an ad di t i o nal “ B LE ” co n n ect or where an e xt e r nal B LE c hi p can be connected. For Apollo 1 only UART is supported by this connector. For Apollo 2 UART and SPI can be used.

2.1 The Breakout-Board

The breakout-board has assembled:

- 2x 27pin 2.54mm header: 50GPIOs, NRST, AREF, GND and VCC

- MCU (A pollo 1 or Apollo 2)

- Inductors for the DC/DC converter

- 32.768 KHz crystal

- ADC filter network

- Reset button

- SWD connector (Debug)

FEEU Ultra-Low-Power Apollo Evaluation Kit Platform

Chapter 2 Using the Hardware

- BLE connector (Apollo 1 UART only, Apollo 2 UART and SPI)

2.2 Getting started

(1) Check the jumpers as descr ibed in 2.1 Jumpers depending of the s electe d Apollo 1

or Apollo 2 break out board.

(2) Insert the breakout board with the RESET button in direction of the Power / USB

connector.

2.3 Power Measurement

2.3.1 On-Board Power Measurement

The on-board debug probe is supporting power measurement. Currently the firmware is still in development and will be supported by the latest ARM MDK / Keil µVison.

The FujitsuLink_PowerMeasurement tool can be used to visualize the power consumption without any DVM required.

2.3.2 Power Measurement via external DVM

Connect an external Multimeter to JP3 pin 2 (+) and 3 (-) to measure the current consumption of the MCU.

Figure 1-4: External DVM Connection

To measure also the power consumption of components at the Arduino shield, set JP16 to 23 position

2.4 USB to Serial

Figure 1-6: USB to UART Converter

To use the USB to serial converter, several serial options are possible. For UART the jumpers JP7 and P1 are used to set the correct u sage.

For Apollo 1, JP7 must be 1-2 and P1 2-4:

Figure 1-7: Apollo 1 jumper configuration for UART usage

With this jumper selection, GPIO0 is UARTTX and GPIO1 UARTRX.

For Apollo 2, JP7 must be 2-3 and P1 3-4:

Figure 1-8: Apollo 2 jumper configuration for UART usage

With this jumper selection, GPIO1 is UARTTX and GPIO2 UARTRX.
