IMM-NRF52832-NANO moduleQuick StartRequirementsThe follows are required for software development•Debug J-Tag : IDAP-Link, Segger J-Link, or any ARM compatible J-Tag.•Nordic SDK & Softdevice BLE stack (https://developer.nordicsemi.com/)•C/C++ embedded software development environment : Eclipse, Keil, CrossWorks, ...Flashing firmwareThe Nordic Softdevice is required to use BLE application. There are many methods to flash it inthe module. The official method from Nordic is to use nRFGo with J-Link. This program isavailable only on Windows operating system. The other method is to use IDAP-Link withIDAPnRFProg for OSX & Windows. More details available on blog pagehttp://embeddedsoftdev.blogspot.ca/p/ehal-nrf51.html. The IDAPnRFProg can programSoftdevice, DFU and Firmware app without requiring mergehex. It can parallel program multiplenRF51 boards at once when multiple IDAP-Link are connected to PC..Breakout boardThe module can also be mounted on the optional breakout board, the IBK-BLUEIO-NANO. Thisbreakout board has all I/O pins routed out to standard DIP32, 2.54mm pitch header pin, withonboard LED indicator and coin battery holder. Ready to be mounted on a breadboard. The SWDpins are also routed out for debug probe. Connect it to the IDAP-Link for OpenOCD debuggingor turn the IMM-NRF52832-NANO into mBed compatible. Updated Jan. 2018 Page 5Fig. 3: IBK-BLUEIO-NANO.

IMM-NRF52832-NANO moduleJ-Tag wiringThe IMM-NRF52832-NANO module has exposed the SWD (Serial Wire Debug) pins SWDIO & SWCLK, see I/O layout section. The module can be directly connected to a J-Tag tool for development by wiring the 2 SWD and the optional Reset pins to the appropriate pins on the J-Tagconnector. The VIN must be wire to the VCC pin on the J-Tag. GND pad is also require to be connected to GND on J-Tag. The module can be powered from 1.8V to 3.6V on VIN. It could be coin battery or DC supplysource. Nordic SoftwareThe Nordic SDK and software tools can be download from http://developer.nordicsemi.com andhttp://www.nordicsemi.com. Community support forum at https://devzone.nordicsemi.com.Eclipse IDEEclipse with GCC is the most cost effective software development environment. It is 100% free.The drawback is that it requires a bit of gymnastics to setup. Fortunately many Blog posts areavailable on the Internet showing step by step. Follow this blog to setup the Eclipse IDE & GCCcompiler: http://embeddedsoftdev.blogspot.ca/p/eclipse.html.There are samples code in the Nordic SDK itself. Other Eclipse based example code are availablefrom this Blog page http://embeddedsoftdev.blogspot.ca/p/ehal-nrf51.htmlUpdated Jan. 2018 Page 6Fig. 4: ARM JTAGE ConnectorFig. 5: IDAP-Link JTag with IBK-BLUEIO-NANO for development with theIMM-NRF52832-NANO module
FCC Warning This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Any changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. FCC Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. End users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. Note 1: This module certified that complies with RF exposure requirement under portable or mobile or fixed condition, this module is to be installed only in portable or mobile or fixed applications. A portable device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used so that the radiating structure(s) of the device is/are within 20 centimeters of the body of the user A mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used in other than fixed locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter's radiating structure(s) and the body of the user or nearby persons. Transmitting devices designed to be used by consumers or workers that can be easily re-located, such as wireless devices associated with a personal computer, are considered to be mobile devices if they meet the 20 centimeter separation requirement. A fixed device is defined as a device is physically secured at one location and is not able to be easily moved to another location. Note 2: Any modifications made to the module will void the Grant of Certification, this module is limited to OEM installation only and must not be sold to end-users, end-user has no manual instructions to remove or install the device, only software or operating procedure shall be placed in the end-user operating manual of final products.
Note 3: The device must not transmit simultaneously with any other antenna or transmitter. Note 4: To ensure compliance with all non-transmitter functions the host manufacturer is responsible for ensuring compliance with the module(s) installed and fully operational. For example, if a host was previously authorized as an unintentional radiator under the Declaration of Conformity procedure without a transmitter certified module and a module is added, the host manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the after the module is installed and operational the host continues to be compliant with the Part 15B unintentional radiator requirements. Since this may depend on the details of how the module is integrated with the host, I-SYST Inc. shall provide guidance to the host manufacturer for compliance with the Part 15B requirements. The OEM integrator is still responsible for the FCC compliance requirement of the end product, which integrates this module. Appropriate measurements (e.g. 15 B compliance, 15C intentional emissions (Fundamental + Out-of-Band Emission)) and if applicable additional equipment authorizations (e.g. Verification , DoC) of the host device to be addressed by the integrator/manufacturer. Note 5: FCC ID label on the final system must be labeled with “Contains FCC ID: 2ALTY-52832NANO” or “Contains transmitter module FCC ID: 2ALTY-52832NANO”. The transmitter module must be installed and used in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions as described in the user documentation that comes with the host product. I-SYST Inc. is responsible for the compliance of the module in all final hosts.
