Casira User
Guide
4 Initial
Steps
The following instructions will take you through the software installation and back up procedures for your Casira
units. Your first action should be to back up the firmware. Follow the back-up instructions in section 4.5, Back Up
New Casira Units. Each Casira module has settings that are unique to that module, such as its Bluetooth Device
Address and Crystal Trim Value. This data is stored in the Persistent Store as PS Keys. The Persistent Store
also contains values that are specific to a particular design, e.g., whether it uses the Universal Asynchronous
Receiver Transmitter (UART) in H4 or BlueCore Serial Protocol (BCSP) mode.
