Note 1:  Secondary function is selectable in 

smart

BASIC application. 

Note 2:    DIO = Digital Input or Output. I/O voltage level tracks VCC. 

Note 3:    AIN = Analog Input   

Note 4:    DIO or AIN functionality is selected using the GpioSetFunc() function in 

smart

BASIC. 

Note 5:    AIN configuration selected using GpioSetFunc() function. 

Note 6:  I2C, UART, SPI controlled by xxxOPEN() functions in 

smart

 

BASIC. 

Note 7:  SIO_21 to SIO_24 are DIO by default when $autorun$ app runs on power up.   

Note 8:  RF_ANT pin (pin30) is on theBL600-ST module only. Customer MUST use 50-Ohm trace from 

RF_ANT pin to RSMA RF connector on host PCB.    More details on 50-Ohm trace design refer to 
section 

50-OhmsRF Trace on Host PCB for BL600-ST

.

       

Note 9:  Hidden JTAG (2-wire interface), pin22 (SWDIO) and pin23 (SWDCLK). Used for upgrading

 

smart

BASIC runtime engine FW only with Laird supplied J-link programmer. Using this hidden 

JTAG requires 12K resistor to GND (on pin23 SWDCLK) on customers host PCB and header 
connector Samtech FTSH-105-01-L-DV, refer to section 

Miscellaneous (hidden JTAG)

 for details.   

Note 10:   Pull the nRESET pin low for minimum 100 mS in order for the BL600 to reset.

 

Note11:    SPI CS is created by customer using any spare SIO pin within their 

smart

BASIC application script 

allowing multi-dropping.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

The BL600 module is delivered with the integrated 

smart

BASIC runtime engine FW loaded (but no onboard 

smart

BASIC application script). Because of this, it starts up in AT command mode by default.   

At reset, all SIO lines are configured as the defaults shown above.     

SIO lines can be configured through 

smart

BASIC Application script to be either inputs or outputs with weak or 

strong pull-ups or pull-downs. When an alternative SIO function is selected (such as I2C or SPI), the firmware
