4.1 Dongle hardware
Fig 17. Dongle hardware
The QN9080 USB dongle works together with the Connectivity QTool and behaves either
as a master or a slave when talking to the QN9080-001-M17 DK (or other devices). As
shown in
Fig 18
, the USB dongle receives commands from the Connectivity QTool via a
virtual COM port, which initializes the QN9080 dongle either as a master device or a
slave device. All tests can be performed by the Connectivity QTool after the initialization.
To update the firmware of the QN9080 USB dongle, see Chapter 4.3 in document
UM11097
.

4.2 Dongle connection
The QN9080 USB dongle is a USB-interfaced device with the QN9080 built in. With the
driver and SDK installed on your computer (See Chapter 4.2 in document
UM11097
),
use the Connectivity QTool in the SDK to control the QN9080 in the dongle to work as a
central/peripheral device. The DK board is supplied from the USB port and works as a
peripheral/central device. The dongle connection is illustrated in
Fig 18
. See the
Connectivity QTool user manual for information about the Connectivity QTool usage.
