2. Preparing the development kit

2.1. Supported Development Kits

Renesas Semiconductor offers a variety of development kits for the DA1453x and DA1458x Bluetooth® devices. In this tutorial you can use either development kits:

  • DA14531 USB DEVKT

  • DA14531 DEVKT-P combined with a DA14531 daughter board (FCGQFN24 package variant)

  • DA1453x DEVKT-P combined with a DA14535 daughter board

  • DA1453x DEVKT-P combined with a DA14533 daughter board

  • DA14585 DEVKT BASIC

  • DA14585 DEVKT-P combined with a DA14585 or DA14586 daughter board

The DEVKT-P variants are recommended as they allow the user to more easily observe and verify the behavior of the firmware using the SmartSnippets™ Power Profiler tool. This tool is contained within SmartSnippets™ Toolbox, if you’ve not already installed this tool then see the Getting Started Tutorial for download and installation instruction.

You can, however, still follow along using any development kits listed above.

In the following, we will define jumper and switch settings for each of the Development Kits. These jumper and switch settings should not be changed during the tutorial , unless specifically mentioned otherwise.
