BlueNRG-MS based Bluetooth® Smart USB

The STEVAL-IDB006V1 is an evaluation board based on the BlueNRG-MS low power Bluetooth® Smart IC, compliant with the Bluetooth® 4.1 specifications and able to support both master and slave roles.

The STEVAL-IDB006V1 features an onboard, low-power STM32L microcontroller. It is primarily designed to interface with BlueNRG-MS, but can aslo be used for custom application development. The STEVAL-IDB006V1 has a USB connector for PC GUI interaction and firmware updates.

While the board does not come with a mounted JTAG connector, the footprint area is available. When a JTAG connector is soldered, users can develop custom firmware for the STM32L microcontroller.
