Bluetooth)Low Energy IoT
Development Kit (B-IDK)
Getting Started Guide
INTRODUCTION
This document helps you get started with the Bluetooth Low Energy
IoT Development Kit (B−IDK). The B−IDK is a comprehensive
node−to−cloud and a modular IoT platform that allows development
of various BLE based use cases. Along with the hardware and
software, the B−IDK includes a mobile app to interact with sensors
and actuators.
The B−IDK features RSL10, Industry’s lowest power Bluetooth 5
SoC and comprises of a baseboard (BDK−GEVK) and several sensor
and actuator daughter cards. For a complete listing of available
daughter cards, please visit https://www.onsemi.com/B−IDK. The
daughter cards connect to the baseboard, via the two PMOD
connectors and/or the Arduino connector to enable various use cases.
Scope
This document covers the hardware setup, software architecture,
B−IDK documentation and provides instructions on downloading
firmware to the board. The details regarding the mobile app and cloud
connectivity are not covered in this document.
HARDWARE
•BDK−GEVK −B−IDK Baseboard
•Daughter Cards – Optional
•BDK−DCDC−GEVB – Power Shield For Use With Higher Power
Daughter Cards – Optional
Default Configuration
The BDK−GEVK is shipped with the following jumper
configuration. As the board supports OBD, there is no need for an
external debugger. In case an external debugger is used, connect it to
SWD header, J6.
Powering the Board
Multiple options are available to power the BDK−GEVK.
•USB
•Coin Cell (CR2032)
•External AC/DC Adapter plus power shield (BDK−DCDC−GEVB)
•External Supply
When higher power daughter cards (listed below) are attached to the
baseboard, external supply either using the power shield or direct is
required.
Higher Power Daughter Cards
•D−LED−B−GEVK Dual LED Ballast
•D−STPR−GEVK Dual Stepper Motor Driver
•BLDC−GEVK BLDC Motor Driver

USB
The B−IDK can be powered via the USB port when the use case doesn’t need any higher power daughter cards. An example
configuration with the baseboard and a couple of sensor boards is shown below.
Coin Cell
Once the firmware is flashed onto the baseboard, a coin cell (CR2032) may be used to power the system. Similar to USB
based power supply, this method of powering is for use cases that don’t utilize the higher power daughter cards. The jumper
configuration must match the below table to allow for various power modes.

External AC/DC Adapter Plus Power Shield
(BDK−DCDC−GEVB)
For use cases that utilize higher power daughter cards, an external AC/DC power supply (Ex: SMI24−12−V−P6) plus the
power shield (BDK−DCDC−GEVB) are needed to power the system. While the 3.3 V supply to the baseboard is provided by
the power shield via the Arduino connector, power cables (Green connector) are required between BDK−DCDC−GEVB and
the higher power daughter card. For firmware flashing and debugging, the USB cable may be plugged in simultaneously with
this mode as shown below.
External Supply
The B−IDK can be powered by an external supply via J13. In this mode, the battery cannot be installed. Jumpers J11 and
J12 must be installed.

SOFTWARE
The B−IDK software allows for rapid development of various use cases. This section details the prerequisites and detailed
steps in downloading firmware onto the baseboard.
Prerequisites
1. Install 64−bit version of Java from https://www.java.com/en/download/
2. Install J−Link Version 6.32f or later from https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink (select J−Link software and
documentation pack)
3. Download and install“On Semiconductor IDE Installer” from
https://www.onsemi.com/PowerSolutions/product.do?id=RSL10
a. Download the RSL10 SDK Getting Started Guide and RSL10 CMSIS pack under “RSL10 Software Package”
from the above site. All of these are highlighted in the picture below. Save the CMSIS pack in a folder, for
example, C:\cmsis_packs
4. Download the B−IDK CMSIS pack from https://www.onsemi.com/B−IDK and save it in the same folder as the
RSL10 CMSIS pack (see 3.a above)
5. CMSIS pack at item 4. is dependent on ARM CMSIS pack as well. Please install ARM CMSIS pack 5.5.1 or higher
after download from: https://github.com/ARM−software/CMSIS_5/releases
6. CMSIS pack at item 4. is also dependent on ARM CMSIS – FreeRTOS version 10.2.0 or higher for users exposed to
design the code under FreeRTOS with RSL10: https://github.com/ARM−software/CMSIS−FreeRTOS/releases
The next section provides details on importing the downloaded CMSIS packs into the SDK.
Importing CMSIS Packages
1. Launch the RSL10 SDK ON Semiconductor IDE
NOTE: Please import RSL10 CMSIS pack first as the B−IDK CMSIS pack (step 4 in the Prerequisites section) depends
on the RSL10.
2. Refer to Chapter 3 of RSL10 SDK Getting Started Guide (step 3.a) for step−by−step instructions on importing the
CMSIS packs.
3. Once all packs are successfully imported, they can be viewed in the CMSIS pack manager perspective as shown
below.

Compiling and Flashing
1. Choose an example (for example, pr_shield_example) to flash by copying it to the workspace.
NOTE: Once the example is copied, it can be viewed under Project Explorer. All source files including main are located
in the src folder.

2. Right click and build the project. This creates binaries to be flashed to BDK−GEVK.
NOTE: If the binaries are not seen, press F5 (refresh).
3. Once the build is done, the code is ready to be flashed to the BDK−GEVK. Select the project (pir_shield_example),
and go to the debug configurations as shown below.

4. Double click GDB Segger J−Link Debugging to create the debug configuration for the selected example.
NOTE: The debug configuration for the selected example is automatically saved and there’s no need to re−create it.
5. On the Debugger tab, set RSL10 as the device name. Click Debug to launch the code.
6. For application debugging, confirm perspective switch by clicking Yes.
7. The debug session is now launched. Click Resume (F8) to start the target CPU.
