1. HARDWARE OVERVIEW

This is User manual for RBFS-B921A which is a Class 2 (4dBm Max.) Bluetooth® Module for
Consumer Applications(such as TV).

Each unit consists of a DV kit and a Bluetooth Ass’y Module. The Module shipped with the system
uses the Broadcom BCM2046™ chip and also includes the filter, EEPROM, a crystal and an internal
antenna. The radio module plugs into the carrier board. Hardware upgrades will be shipped in the
format of a new replacement radio module when new versions of the LGIT Module product range
become available. The DV kit provides a serial port (RS232), SPI port, USB port, power supply
socket and audio socket.

2. LGIT DEVELOPMENT KIT (DV-kit : LBTS-XX97A)

The LBTS-XX97A Bluetooth Development kit(DV-kit) has been developed primarily to assist LGIT
customers in the development of the host side software and external radio circuits. It will also be
used to assist LGIT customers to evaluate the LGIT Module. The evaluation system consist of two
identical module that allow the user to send both data and voice over bluetooth link. Each unit is
driven from PC for data connection and from a headset for voice connection.

The DV-kit provides serial port(UART/RS232), USB port, SPI port, Audio socket(3.5’), power
supply socket. The signal level on the RS232 port conform to the RS232 standard and are generated
on the DV-kit board.

POWER SUPPLY

Power is supplied by USB cable. Supplied voltage power is regulated as 3.3V, and this regulated
power is used as supply voltage on the DV-kit board.
Regulator accepts voltage within the range of 4.8VDC~15VDC, and supplies 1A.

In case that, user’s application circuits are added to the development kit, total usable power of
additional circuit should not exceed 1A of LDO

RESETB

The LGIT DV-kit allow the users to make RESET signal directly. Reset switch is
Reset by S/W is also available through SPI interface.

HCI Command Interface

USB and UART(RS232) interface enable communication with Bluetooth HCI controller.
LGIT Bluetooth Development kit automatically select one HCI interface whether UART(RS232) or
USB connected.

UART/RS232

UART/RS232 interface offers communicational environment with HCI controller of Bluetooth

Module. The user have to confirm that Bluetooth Module is UART type.

USB

LGIT’s USB Bluetooth DV-kit support HCI controller of Bluetooth module and USB interface.
Also, this DV-kit fulfills the USB 1.1 specification requirement, functions as regular USB slave port.
Specially designed USB cable enables to connect the devices by using USB(‘B type) connector.

For the first time user, this kit support ‘plug and play’, installation wizard.
Refer to clause 5.

PCM/AUDIO

LGIT’s Bluetooth DV-kit support Analog in/out data for voice.

This DV-kit used PCM codec of Motorola(MC1454 series)

3. HARDWARE SETUP

Remove the Power supplies and the appropriate mains power connector from the carry carry case
and push the mains connector onto the power supplies, making sure that they are fully pressed home.
Plug these two power supplies into the mains but DO NOT connect the DC output connector to the
LGIT Evaluation system units yet. The power supplies should be connected AFTER the
Bluetooth utility software is installed and configured.

UART/RS232

Remove the USB cable from the carry case and connect one end of USB ports on PC’s
(WindowTM2000/XP).
• The power supplies should be connected AFTER the Bluetooth application S/W (utility) is
installed and configured.
• Using Bluetest or BlueChat utility program

USB

Remove the USB cable from the carry case and connect one end of USB ports on PC’s
(WindowTM2000/XP).
• The power supplies should be connected AFTER the Bluetooth application S/W (utility) is
installed and configured.
• Using BlueTool program

Bluetool getting started : Set DUT Mode

Start the Bluetool Program on each PC by double Clicking on the Bluetool shortcut on your desktop.

Click “OK” when Set_Event_Filter selection is complete.

The tests fall into four categories:

• Simple RF tests; used for PCB de-bug and optimization
• Quantitative tests for transmit and receive; used to establish the performance of the Bluetooth
device.
• Loopback test modes; used for qualification and regulatory testing
• Configuration commands to set parameters for other tests
