4. Introduction

The DA14592 is a family of wireless dual core (ARM Cortex® M33™ + Cortex® M0+™) microcontrollers that integrate an embedded flash (eFLASH) for execution in place (XIP).

The DA14592 SoCs combine :

  • The Arm Cortex® M33™ application processor with floating point unit (FPU)

  • Advanced power management functionality

  • A security accelerator with AES/HASH support

  • Analog and digital peripherals

  • Audio HW accelerator

  • Software configurable protocol engine with a radio, compliant to the Bluetooth® 5.2 low energy standard.

More information can be found in the DA14592 Datasheet .

4.1. Guide Purpose

The purpose of this guide is to provide an overview of the DA14592 USB-DEVKIT board, describe the setup of the hardware as well as the installation of the software tools to fully take advantage of the board.

The following hardware and software elements are required to use the DA14592 USB-DEVKIT:

  • The USB-DEVKIT and Software Development Kit (SDK)

  • e²studio 2024-07 (or newer) which can be installed on Windows or Linux hosts.

  • Windows users should download and install terminal software such as RealTerm, Putty or Teraterm. The rest of the document uses RealTerm. Linux users can use Putty.

The rest of guide is organized as follows:

Section 5 describes the hardware components and their initial installation and setup.

Section 6 and Section 7 describe the installation of the SmartBond™ DA14592 SDK software, along with all necessary tools.

Section 8 contains all steps for downloading and executing your first DA14592 Application.
