Table 1: Functional Regions Description
No.Function RegionDescripció
1.Module extension areaSupports various RF-star SMT modules (e.g., CC2642R, CC2652R, CC2652R7, CC2652P, CC2652P7, CC1352R, CC1352P, CC1352P7).
2.Pin output areaAll module pins are exposed for convenient testing. Refer to the Pin Diagram Description for details.
3UART to USB areaIncludes CTS, RTS, TXD, and RXD pins of the CP2102 (red box in silkscreen). Green box pins (10, 3, 6, 7) correspond to serial numbers. If module firmware UART pins match, use jumpers. Otherwise, use Dupont wires to connect CP2102 to the module's defined pins. Can also function as a USB to TTL tool with a TYPE-C data cable.
Power supply areaProvides 3.3 V / 5 V power supply.
5Restableix l'àreaSupplies the reset signal to the module.
7Power supply areaProvides 3.3 V and 5 V power supply.

Font d'alimentació

The board operates with a power supply of either 3.3 V or 5 V. Ensure your power source matches these specifications.

3. Instruccions de funcionament

This section details how to use the RF-BT03 development board for testing and debugging your RF-star modules.

Connecting for Debugging (USB-to-UART)

  1. Connecteu el mòdul: Ensure your RF-star SMT module (e.g., CC2652P) is correctly inserted into the module extension area (①).
  2. Encès: Connect a 3.3V or 5V power supply to the power supply area (④/⑦) or via the USB Type-C port.
  3. Connexió UART:
    • Identify the CTS, RTS, TXD, and RXD pins of the integrated CP2102 in the UART to USB area (③). These are typically marked in red on the silkscreen.
    • Identify the corresponding serial number pins (10, 3, 6, 7) marked in green on the silkscreen.
    • If the UART pins defined by your module's firmware (e.g., P10, P03, P06, P01 for CC26X2 transparent transmission firmware) are consistent with pins 10, 3, 6, and 7, you can short-circuit them directly using jumpers.
    • If the module's firmware pins are inconsistent, use Dupont wires to connect the CP2102's CTS, RTS, TXD, RXD to the correct pins on your module as defined by its firmware.
  4. Connexió USB: Connect the board to your computer using a TYPE-C data cable. The board will be recognized as a USB-to-TTL tool, allowing serial communication with the module for debugging and programming.
  5. Funció de restabliment: The reset area (⑤) allows you to supply a reset signal to the module, which can be useful during debugging or firmware updates.

4. Definicions de pins

Understanding the pin assignments is crucial for proper integration and use of the development board.
