New Product Introduction Panasonic New EVAL PAN1026EMK RoHS COMPLIANT PAN1026 Experimenter Kit Accelerate Development Using Panasonics PAN1026 Series Bluetooth RF Module Introducing a new development tool to the PAN1026 family, the PAN1026 Experimenter Kit supplements Panasonics evaluation kit (EVAL PAN1026) by emulating an application environment where a Bluetooth RF module is controlled by an external processor, an environment that reduces both software and hardware development time. This kit is for design engineers using Panasonics PAN1026 Bluetooth SmartReady RF Module with embedded Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low Energy protocol stacks and profiles and based on Toshibas TC35661, baseband controller and ARM7TDMI CPU SOC. 1 The PAN1026 Experimenter Kit integrates a PAN1026 RF module , Toshibas TMPM369 ARM Cortex-M3 based MCU with 512KB flash memory and serial, USB, CAN and Ethernet interfaces on a single board to eliminate 2 hardware prototyping in the projects development stages . A J-Link JTAG debugger interface incorporated in the Experimenter kit board is compatible with commonly available third party toolchains such as those from Atollic, IAR and Keil. The embedded MCU also supports standard interfaces on the board for Ethernet, CAN, USB (host and device), serial and UART connection. The embedded dual mode Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low Energy Application protocol stacks and profiles may be accessed using two command sets. TCU Superset - TCUS Application Toshibas TCU command set consisting of over 100 commands is extremely Controller TMPM369 Abstract API - A2PI flexible, allowing full access to the PAN1026s resources and I/O. A superset TCU Commands of the TCU commands, (TCU Superset TCUS) where one command executes a routine of TCU commands to perform common BT functions, is available using an Abstract Application Programming Interface A2PI. The TCU Command API A2PI resides and executes Experimenter Kits Cortex-M3 MPU. BT Stack PAN1026 1. This design is intended only for software development and should not be used as hardware reference design. For optimum performance, the module should be on the edge of the application PCB. For layout recommendations and how to place the module refer to the PAN1026 design guide. 2. The EVAL PAN1026 evaluation kit remains as an excellent demonstration and development tool for a PC based environment. The kit consists of two PAN1026ETU development Phy Layer modules used with EasySPP and EasyBLE testware. EasySPP is the development environment for Bluetooth Classic and EasyBLE is the development environment for Bluetooth Low Energy, both applications are available on Panasonics website.
