2 Setting up the evaluation board
2.1 Evaluation board setup
The EVK-NINA-B1 will be delivered with the u-blox Connectivity Software installed on the module.
Before connecting the module, download and install the latest u-blox s-center evaluation software
from the u-blox website.
To use Bluetooth Low Energy on the EVK-NINA-B111, connect a 2.4 GHz antenna to the U.FL antenna
connector (J10). The EVK-NINA-B112 has an onboard antenna.
Plug in either an external power supply in J5 connector or connect to a USB host with a USB cable
attached to J8 connector. You can also power the evaluation board with a CR2032 coin cell battery.
The status light (DS6) will turn green, indicating it has power. The NFC antenna can be connected to
the J11 connector.
⚠
Be careful to check polarity before connecting external power supply to the EVK-NINA-B1
evaluation board. Center conductor is positive (+) and the ring is negative (-).
The operating system will install the correct drivers automatically. The drivers will only need to be
installed the first time you connect the unit to a new computer.
⚠
If the drivers are not installed automatically, download the nRFgo Studio from
www.nordicsemi.com to get the Jlink CDC UART driver.
A COM port will automatically be assigned to the unit by Windows. On Windows 7, open the Control
Panel, click Hardware and Sound. Click Device Manager in Devices and Printers. This will open Device
Manager window where you can view the assigned COM ports.
2.2 Starting up
Perform the following steps to enable communication with the module:
1. Start the u-blox s-center evaluation software.
2. Use the default baudrate 115200, 8N1 with flow control.
3. You will now be able to communicate with the module through AT-commands.
For a list of available AT commands, see the u-blox Short Range AT Commands Manual [3].
To get started with basic use case setups of the EVK-NINA-B1 with u-blox Connectivity Software, see
the NINA-B1 Getting Started [3].
If you would like to use the EVK-NINA-B1 together with Nordic Semiconductor SDK or Arm ® Mbed TM
operating system, refer to the Software section of the NINA-B1 System Integration Manual [2].
2.3 Getting the latest software
Go to the u-blox support webpage to obtain the latest available firmware. Instructions on reflashing
the EVK-NINA-B1 can be found in the Software section of the NINA-B1 System Integration Manual
[2].
