The application board is the application load of the system. The application board implements an EM6819 8-bit low-power
microcontroller, an EM9301 2.4Ghz Bluetooth Low Energy Controller, push-buttons and LEDs able to implement various
types of low-power applications. The application board can also be removed and replaced by another application board or
the user can connect external elements to the application headers.
Due to its modular architecture and flexible design, the EMDVK8500 is a very versatile system and as such offers a lot of
possibilities to the user. The following operating modes are offered to the user:
5.1
