1 Getting started
The evaluation board is preprogrammed with sensor profile firmware
(BLE_SensorDemo.hex) which allows to set and establish a connection with a smartphone
(iOS or Android) running a BlueNRG sensor application which works with the sensor profile
firmware running on the STEVAL-IDB007V1 evaluation board.
The sensor profile firmware implements a proprietary Bluetooth profile which exposes two
services: acceleration and environmental service.
The acceleration service contains the following characteristics:
Acceleration: it gives the current value of the acceleration detected by the MEMS
sensor on the STEVAL-IDB007V1 board.
Free fall characteristic: it allows detection of free-fall condition by the LSM6DS3
MEMS sensor on the STEVAL-IDB007V1 board (the condition is detected if the
acceleration on the 3 axes is near zero for a certain amount of time).
The environmental service contains characteristics that expose data from some
environmental sensors, such as temperature sensors.
1.1 Powering up STEVAL-IDB007V1 evaluation board running
the sensor profile firmware (peripheral role)
Two power options are available:
Batteries - To power the STEVAL-IDB007V1 evaluation board using batteries, 2 AAA
batteries must be inserted into the battery holder at the rear of the board, and jumper
JP1 set to position 2-3 and jumper JP2 set to position 1-2 (Figure 2: "STEVAL-
IDB007V1 power options").
USB - To power the STEVAL-IDB007V1 evaluation board through USB, jumper JP1
must be in position 1-2 and jumper JP2 set to position 2-3 (Figure 2: "STEVAL-
IDB007V1 power options" ). Connect a USB cable to the micro-USB connector (Figure
2: "STEVAL-IDB007V1 power options") and to a PC USB port.
Once powered, the STEVAL-IDB007V1 sensor profile firmware starts advertising, waiting
for a smartphone to connect to it.

1.2 Install the BlueNRG app for smartphones (central role)
Two versions (Android and iOS) of the smartphone sensor application are available for
download on the specific web pages (Table 1: "Reference information"Android & iOS
SensorApp).
Install the smartphone SensorApp application on the selected smartphone.
1.3 Run BlueNRG app for smartphones
Launch the BlueNRG SensorApp application on the smartphone
It starts scanning for the BlueNRG sensor peripheral. A device called “BlueNRG”
appears on the screen (this is the STEVAL-IDB007V1 running the sensor profile
firmware)
Tap on the BlueNRG name to connect to the STEVAL-IDB007V1 running the sensor
profile firmware. The BlueNRG SensorApp application enables notifications on the
acceleration characteristic and displays the received value on the screen.

2 SW demonstration applications
In order to develop a software application for the STEVAL-IDB007V1 evaluation
board, it is recommended to start with the reference demonstration applications
provided within the BlueNRG-1 DK software package (STSW-BLUENRG1-DK)
available on the STEVAL-IDB007V1 web page.
Unzip the file, launch the related installer and follow installation steps (the default
installation path is C:\\Program Files (x86)\\STMicroelectronics\\BlueNRG-1 DK x.x.x)
Wait for the package installation to complete.
The Projects folder in BlueNRG-1 DK SW package contains the available BlueNRG-1
demonstration applications, IAR projects, sources and header files.
IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM (EWARM) tool is needed for building and
downloading software applications running on the BlueNRG-1 microcontroller.
For a description of the available BlueNRG-1 demonstration applications and
supported platforms, refer to BlueNRG-1 development kits user manual available
on the related web page. The BLE_SensorDemo.hex prebuilt binary image is also
provided within the BlueNRG-1 DK software package, in the Firmware folder.
Keil MDK-ARM and Atollic TrueStudio for ARM (GCC) toolchains projects are also
available.
