BLEDK3 AUTO PATTERN AND MANUAL PATTERN TOOLS
The BLEDK3 firmware, written on the BM70 module, has two distinct modes, Auto Pat-
tern and Manual Pattern. Both these modes use their own state machines. The BM70
module can be operated in both the modes by setting the value in the EEPROM. By
default, the BM70 module is in Auto Pattern mode.
3.4.1
Auto Pattern Mode
In Auto pattern mode, the state machine automates most of the Bluetooth related oper-
ations, such as advertising and Transparent UART service. The Transparent UART
service is primarily used to connect the module to a peer device and to create a data
pipe with the peer device through the Transparent UART mode with minimal instruc-
tions from the host MCU.
To evaluate and test the BM70 module in Auto Pattern mode, download and install the
Auto Pattern tool (Windows-based GUI emulation tool), which is available for download
at Microchip web site. This tool implements the communication protocol and provides
a fast and easy way to test the functions with the available options in the Auto Pattern
mode.
3.4.2
Manual Pattern Mode
The Manual Pattern mode provides a full control of the BM70 module to the user and
the module operates only based on the commands from the user or host MCU. The
Manual Pattern tool also allows the Transparent UART mode; however, there is a small
difference in the protocol used in this mode in comparison to the Auto Pattern mode.
To evaluate and test the BM70 module in Manual Pattern mode, download and install
the Manual Pattern tool (Windows-based GUI emulation tool), which is available for
download at Microchip web site. This tool implements the communication protocol and
provides a fast and easy way to test the functions with the available options in the Man-
ual Pattern mode.

APPLICATION FIRMWARE INFORMATION
The BLEDK3 firmware application is the default application on the BM70 EVB. This
application provides the BLE UART Transparent, BLE GATT-based transceiver, Bea-
con and BeaconThings functionality.
For additional information on the BLEDK3 application functionality, refer to the
“
IS187x_BM7x BLEDK3 Application Note”
, which is available at Microchip web site:
