5 Application Development
5.1 Overview
The TiWi-uB1 EM Board has been designed to work either as a standalone development
platform or to be used in combination with one of TI various development platforms. This
flexible design platform allows the user to take advantage of the sample applications provided
by LSR as well as those provided by TI for the CC2541 SOC.
LSR’s Design Services team can be contracted to assist customers with application-specific
software or hardware development for TiWi-uB1 applications.
For an overview of development platforms and software examples see LSR Wireless Products
or TI CC2541 Bluetooth .
5.2 Development Tools
5.2.1 LSR TiWi-uB1 EM Board Stand Alone Application
The LSR development kit demonstrates the stand alone capability of the TiWi-uB1 EM
development board and connectivity to a Bluetooth® BLE enabled smartphone device. It
provides a platform to show the capability of Bluetooth® BLE for simple remote control of
devices and low data rate remote data collection and reporting.
LSRs TiWi-uB1 development kit hardware, sample firmware and iPhone Application allow the
user to:

Monitor temperature of the onboard temperature sensor U2

Monitor battery voltage

Monitor RSSI of data transmission from the TiWi-uB1 module to the iPhone

Monitor the status of the onboard pushbutton switch S1

Toggle the user defined LEDs 1A and 1B on and off

Track RF statistics such as number of BLE packets sent and received
Hardware required for the LSR Standalone evaluation application includes:
