This time, we made following changes.
・Flash memory’s capacity in the IC (BTLE IC) is changed from 256KB to 128KB for cost saving
・ROM in the IC (BTLE IC) is changed from 384KB to 216KB for cost saving
・RAM in the IC (BTLE IC) is changed from 192KB to 128KB for cost saving
・A random number generator for security is newly added in the IC(BTLE IC)
・A 32kHz silicon oscillator in the IC(BTLE IC) is deleted for cost saving
・Some components/parts (IC6, CN12, X3, S2) are newly added for using CMSIS-DAP※1
-About A Randam Number Generator-
A random number generator is used to generate the key of the encrypted protocol.
-About CMSIS-DAP-
CMSIS-DAP is the interface firmware for a Debug Unit that connects the Debug Port to USB. Debuggers, which execute on a host computer, connect via USB
to the Debug Unit and to the Device that runs the application software. The Debug Unit connects via JTAG or SWD signals to the target Device. ARM Cortex
processors provide the CoreSight Debug and Trace Unit. CMSIS-DAP supports target devices that contain one or more Cortex processors.

the serial device.
(4) Send commands using Host application such as Toshiba HCI Testers to
operate the Bluetooth LE IC on this board or download a program to the
NVM for user applications. Refer Toshiba website for more informations.
USB Type A Male to Mini B Male Cable.
(3) The CP210x device will be apper as a COM port in device manager in
Windows. As a virtual COM port,the CP210x functions identically to a

To this pin header
Use this pin header when selecting the power supply for the
Bluetooth LE IC.
And measuring the current consumption of the Bluetooth LE IC.
.
NOTE1 (Selecting Power Supply)
When using external power supply, be sure to open 3-4 pin to
avoid collision with LDO output.
NOTE2(Current measurement)
By connecting an ammeter to 1-2 pin, it is possible to measure
consumption current of Bluetooth LE IC alone. .
between HCI mode and User-App mode. Since the mode is
confirmed immediately after releasing reset, you can use it in any
state after booting.
・Reset input of Bluetooth LE IC
・SWD interface
・All GPIOs of each IC are connected
Since no other circuit is connected between IC and pin header, it
can contact directly with IC terminal. CN8 is not mounted. If you
use GPIO24-31, you need to install a pin header to CN8.
