Bringing up the BlueNRG and BlueNRG-MS devices
Introduction
The BlueNRG, BlueNRG-MS devices are high performance, ultra-low power wireless network
processors which support, respectively, Bluetooth specification v4.0 and v4.1.
In order to achieve maximum performance, some procedures must be carried out before finalizing the
application.
This document summarizes these fundamental steps:
• Application PCB test points
• Power supply and current consumption tests
• SPI interface
• IFR configuration
• XTAL and LSOSC centering tests
• Output power test
• Packet exchange test
• Sensitivity test
• Power consumption in advertising mode
Note:
The document content is valid for both BlueNRG and BlueNRG_MS devices. Any reference to BlueNRG
device is also valid for the BlueNRG-MS device. Any specific difference is highlighted whenever it is
needed.
