General Description
The XDK110 is a wireless sensor device to enable rapid prototyping of sensor based products and
applications for the internet of things (IoT). It thereby allows users a step in-between the first
hardware prototype and series production, or simply as the first compact prototype. The device
was built in a way that Bosch can easily adapt the product for mass production and the users’
unique sensor requirements. The XDK110 creates the opportunity for users to try out more
advanced programming on the device itself to realize a sensor which processes data and reports
events instead of simply transmitting raw data.
The product XDK110 consists of the XDK110 sensor device, comes with a SW development
environment called the XDK Workbench as well as access to the XDK developer community.
XDK110 allows the user the ability to experiment with different ideas, with different sensor
measuring principles, coupled together with different communication technologies. XDK110
thereby allows the user to better understand their end solution requirements, but also their
potential series product before having to invest substantial sums of engineering development
activity.
XDK110 is built using a modular hardware and software platform, meaning that mass production of
variations of XDK is easy, scalable and cost effective for the user when moving forward with their
idea.

2.2 Power Management
For the easy application in portable applications, the XDK is equipped with a 560mAh Li-Ion
rechargeable battery. While connected to a power source via the Micro USB connector, the battery
will automatically be charged. Charging is indicated by the green LED. The device can be charged
independent of the position of the power switch. The maximum charging current depends on the
charger used.
Table 4: Charger Type and Current
Additional details on these port types are described in the USB Battery Charging Specification, Rev
1.1, 4/15/
Charger Type
Maximum Current
Standard downstream port (SDP):
Typical form found in desktop and laptop computers
100 mA
Charging downstream port (CDP):
Higher current USB port for PCs, laptops, and other
hardware (indicated by a lightning symbol)
500 mA
Dedicated charging port (DCP):
Power sources like wall warts and auto adapters; charging
can occur with no digital communication at all.
500 mA or 100 mA depending on
charger
