Layout Design Suggestions General Layout Rules: All Printed Circuit Boards must comply with UL94V0 standard for flammability. Always use RoHS compliant Parts and materials. Suggestions for Layout: Step 1. Do not place Power circuit, X’tal, Inductor, etc. near RF area. Step 2. The bigger Antenna clearance area, the better. The Antenna itself needs to stay away from any circuit or component at least 3mm. Antenna clearance area means Top and Bottom both required to be cleared. Step 3.

Operating RB8762C MB Introduction: Radicom provides RB8762CMB Development Kit as a quick platform for testing and evaluating the RB8762CHM Bluetooth module. Each RB8762CMB has an UART and USB connector interface. You may choose either UART or USB interface for data transmission. If you use UART interface to transmit your data, please plug one null cable to COM port and insert a 4 pieces jumper into J17 (as below). Also remember to connect USB connector for power supply.
Hardware Set-up - To provide power to the RB8762CMB, plug one end of the USB cable into USB connector on the RB8762CMB. Plug the other end into the PC USB port. PC Set-up - Turn on the PC. To send the AT commands and transmit & receive data with the RB8762CMB use a serial communication package such as Docklight. Set the appropriate COM port for each side with the DTE speed set to 9600 and parity set to 8N1. Docklight setting is as follows: Step 1.
Step 3. After these steps, power on the RB8762CMB and you’ll see device information as below. 1 2 ※Actual version of RB8762CMB and BT device address might be different as above. If you want to know the latest FW version, please contact Radicom.

Firmware behavior: The current newest version is V08 and its major different with old versions are: 1. Booting When RB8762C is booting, its role (slave or master) will depend on the setting value. This value can be got by AT command “at+role\r\n” and the factory default value is “2”. 1.1 If the value is “0”, RB8762C will work as a slave. 1.2 If the value is “1”, RB8762C will work as a master. 1.3 If the value is “2”, RB8762C will be decided by GPIO P1_0.
OTA Upgrade Firmware This chapter will show you how to use OTA to upgrade firmware. If the version of target device is larger than V07, please refer section 2. Section 1 Step 1. Plug in USB cable to power on RB8762CMB. Step 2. Follow page18 to setup RB8762CMB with Docklight Step 3. Issue “at+role2” to enter OTA mode(as below) Step 4. Install OTA APP (OTA.apk) in your Android smart phone. Step 5. Upload the latest firmware file into your smart phone.
Step 6. Launch OTA APP and search for “Radicom_OTA” device. Then click the device to enter next step. Step 7. Click “Select File” from APP. Click “UPLOAD”.
Step 8. The firmware upgrade will start immediately. Once the screen shows “Update Success!” means firmware upgrade successfully. Step 9. When new firmware upgraded successfully through OTA, you must return RB8762CMB to its original mode (master/slave). Issue “at+role0” to enter slave mode and “at+role1” to enter master mode.
Section 2 Step 1. Install OTA APP in your smart phone and execute APP. Step 2. Plug in USB cable to power on RB8762CMB. Step 3. After 10 second, APP will scan BT device name. Then click to connect. Step 4. “Select File” Radicom released image to upgrade the slave device then click “UPLOAD” Step 5.
How to access RB8762C from smartphone The RB8762C can support two mainly platform for smartphone (iOS and Android). You can access RB8762C from smartphone by 3rd app or your own designed app. Here we provide some notes for access RB8762C from smartphone, also some examples. ※This chapter assumes that the reader has a basic understanding of the BLE specification including some knowledge of service, characteristic and transfer protocols. 1. BLE support The Android system applies to version 4.
