Hardware 5.2 BLE Module Board 5.2.1 PSoC 4 BLE or PRoC BLE The PRoC BLE or PSoC 4 BLE is the main component on the BLE Module. It provides the RF interface and analog and digital capability. The PRoC BLE or PSoC 4 BLE pins are mapped to the Bluetooth module headers (see Figure 5-20). For more information, refer to the BLE web page. Figure 5-20.

Hardware 5.2.2 Bluetooth Module Headers (20-Pin and 24-Pin Headers) The PSoC 4 BLE and PRoC BLE Modules connect to the Pioneer board using the two (20-pin and 24-pin) Bluetooth module headers (Figure 5-21). All GPIOs and power domains are brought out to these headers. These headers are the counterparts of the connectors in section 5.1.4. Figure 5-21.

Hardware 5.2.4 Antenna Matching Network An Antenna Matching Network is required between the BLE device and the antenna to achieve optimum performance (Figure 5-23). The matching network has four main tasks: ■ Transform the balanced output of the radio to an unbalanced connection to the antenna (balun). ■ Transform the output impedance of the radio to a 50-ohm antenna. ■ Suppress harmonics to a level below the regulations level in TX mode. ■ Suppress the local oscillator (LO) leakage in RX mode.
Hardware 5.2.5 BLE Passives Module boards include a 24-MHz crystal and a 32-kHz crystal, the CMOD and shield (CTANK) circuit for CapSense, a SAR bypass capacitor, and adequate decoupling capacitors for all the power domains, as shown in Figure 5-24.

Hardware 5.3.2 USB Type A Plug The PSoC 5LP connects to the USB port of a PC through a USB type A plug (Figure 5-27). This plug can also be used to power the board. A resettable polyfuse is used to protect the computer's USB ports from shorts and overcurrent. If more than 500 mA is applied to the USB port, the fuse will automatically break the connection until the short or overload is removed. The VBUS, D+, and D– lines from the USB connector are also protected against ESD events using TVS diodes.
Hardware 5.3.3 User LED A user LED is provided to indicate status from the PRoC BLE device (Figure 5-28). It is also used to show the bind status. Figure 5-28.

Advanced Topics 6. After programming has completed, the following message appears, as shown in Figure 6-46: “Programming Finished Successfully”. Figure 6-46. Programming Finished Successfully 7. The factory program is now successfully restored on the PSoC 5LP. It can be used as the programmer/debugger for the PSoC 4 BLE/PRoC BLE device. 6.5 Using FM24V10 F-RAM The BLE Pioneer board has an onboard ferroelectric RAM chip that can hold up to 1 Mb of data.
Advanced Topics 6.5.1 Address Selection The slave address of the F-RAM device consists of three parts, as shown in Figure 6-47: slave ID, device select, and page select. Slave ID is an F-RAM family-specific ID located in the datasheet of the particular F-RAM device. For the device used in BLE Pioneer board (FM24V10), the slave ID is 1010b. Device select bits are set using the two physical pins A2 and A1 in the device.
Advanced Topics Figure 6-49. F-RAM Single-Byte and Multiple-Byte Read Packet Structure As shown in the figures, all operations start with the slave address followed by the memory address. For write operations, the bus master sends each byte of data to the memory, and the memory generates an acknowledgement condition. For read operations, after receiving the complete slave address and memory address, the memory begins shifting data from the current address on the next clock. 6.
Advanced Topics 4. If Bluetooth is not enabled on the device, the app will ask to enable it, as shown in Figure 6-50. Figure 6-50. Turn on Bluetooth on Device 5. After Bluetooth is enabled, the app will automatically search for available BLE peripherals and list them, as shown in Figure 6-51. Select the BLE Pioneer Kit peripheral in the list. The name displayed in the list will be the same as that set in the BLE Component. Figure 6-51.
Advanced Topics 6. When connected, the app will list the supported profiles by the peripherals, as shown in Figure 6-52. Tap on the desired profile. Figure 6-52. Profiles Page 7. Depending on the type of profile chosen, the app will display options for the profile. Figure 6-53 shows an example for the CapSense slider custom profile, where swiping a finger on the CapSense slider of the BLE Pioneer Kit is reflected in the app. See Pioneer Baseboard on page 88. Figure 6-53. CapSense Slider GUI 8.
Advanced Topics 9. To connect to a new BLE peripheral, go back to home page and swipe the screen below to scan for devices. 10.To transfer data/notifications through any other profile that is not listed on the Profiles page after connecting to the peripheral, go to the GATT DB option on the Profiles page. The GATT DB allows you to access the services and characteristics of a profile directly, as shown in Figure 6-54, and to modify or receive values through BLE. Figure 6-54.
Advanced Topics Two custom profiles are created for demonstrating the BLE Pioneer Kit features: the CapSense profile and the RGB LED profile. Both these profiles are integrated into the CySmart mobile app, as easy-to-use GUI. The CapSense profile GUI supports three CapSense functionalities. ■ CapSense Buttons: After connecting to the BLE peripheral, the CapSense Buttons service page displays the number of CapSense buttons supported by the peripheral, as shown in Figure 6-56.
Advanced Topics ■ CapSense Slider: After connecting to the BLE peripheral, the CapSense Slider service page displays the CapSense slider as supported by the peripheral, as shown in Figure 6-57. Swiping a finger on the CapSense slider on the peripheral is reflected in the CySmart GUI. For example, the CapSense_Slider_LED project (CapSense Slider and LED on page 47) will show this utility on the app. Figure 6-57. CapSense Slider GUI Page CY8CKIT-042-BLE Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) Pioneer Kit Guide, Doc.
Advanced Topics ■ CapSense Proximity: After connecting to the BLE peripheral, the CapSense Proximity service page displays the CapSense proximity supported by the peripheral, as shown in Figure 6-58. A change in proximity on the proximity sensor (such as a wire) on the peripheral is reflected in the CySmart GUI. For example, the CapSense_Proximity project (CapSense Proximity on page 62) will show this utility on the app. Figure 6-58.
Advanced Topics The RGB LED profile allows you to control the color and intensity of the BLE Pioneer Kit onboard RGB LED, as shown in Figure 6-59. Pressing any part of the color gamut on the GUI is reflected on the BLE peripheral device with the onboard RGB LED. Note: The onboard RGB LED color range depends on the LED being used. It is possible that the complete color gamut is not reflected on the onboard RGB LED due to limitations on the LED itself.
Advanced Topics 6.7 CySmart PC Tool The CySmart PC tool is a BLE Central host emulation tool that, along with the dongle, allows you to connect to a BLE peripheral device and transfer data over BLE services. Also, it displays all the packets that are involved during the connection, which can be analyzed for details. The CySmart PC tool is installed as part of the BLE Pioneer Kit installer. To launch the software, choose Start > All Programs > Cypress > CySmart > CySmart .
Advanced Topics 2. Start the CySmart PC tool on the PC. You will see a list of dongles connected to it. Select the dongle you want to use and click Connect, as shown in Figure 6-61. Figure 6-61.

This tab provides options with respect to the connected BLE device, as shown in Figure 6-65. Figure 6-65. Connected Device Tab 4. On the device tab, click Discover All Attributes to find the supported attributes by the connected BLE device. This action populates the list of services and characteristics in the Attribute window along with their values, if any, as shown in Figure 6-66. Figure 6-66.
