3 Introduction
Dialog's DA14AVDDECTDEVKT is a development kit for the DA14AVDDECT module. This module is
a member of the wireless module family, operating on the interference free DECT frequency band
(1.9 GHz) and it can be used in hosted or embedded Audio, Voice, and Data (AVD) applications.
There are three stacks available for the AVD module, falling into two categories, the Audio Data (AD)
stacks (Tour Guide stack and Public Address stack) and the Voice Data (VD) stack.
The development kit has the AVD module mounted on carrier boards. The carrier board has an ARM
debug interface and a USB-UART interface for programming and debugging the AVD module. The
development kit also has some pre-defined push buttons and LEDs tailored for the example
applications, Li-Ion battery connectors, and 3.5 mm audio jacks. This development kit targets users
who are familiar with application-level software programming and does not require detailed
understanding of the DECT protocol.
3.1 Development Kit Content
Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the components of the development kit and Table 1 contains an
overview of the parts.

3.2 Prerequisites
●Experience with the C programming language.
●Experience with development of embedded systems.
●Experience with Eclipse (Dialog's SmartbeatTM AVD Studio) provides an advantage.
3.3 Powering Options
The carrier boards can be powered in two ways:
●Powering via USB
●Power via Battery (Li-Ion or NiMH)
Default jumper settings are marked by white rectangles on the PCB and jumper settings are the
same for J203, J201, and J4 (Figure 3) when the board is powered from USB or Li-Ion battery. The
carrier boards are shipped with the default jumper settings.
3.3.1 Powering via USB
To power the carrier boards via USB, connect your PC to the miniUSB connector named "USB" on
the carrier boards (marked blue in Figure 3). Use the default jumper settings for J203, J201, and J4
(marked with red on Figure 3 and also Figure 4 for zoomed image).

3.3.2.1 Power from Li-Ion Battery
The carrier boards can also be powered from Li-Ion battery pack. The board has two 3-pin
connectors for Li-Ion batteries (marked blue in Figure 4). Use the default jumper settings for J203,
J201, and J4 (marked red in Figure 4). The carrier boards are shipped with these jumper settings.

3.3.2.2 Powering from NiMH Battery
The carrier boards can also be powered via NiMH battery pack. The board has one standard pin
header (J204) marked blue in Figure 5. Pay attention to jumper setting on J203, J201, and J4
(marked red in Figure 5).

4 Out of the box Use
The carrier boards are programmed and paired so they can be used directly out of the box. The
Audio Data Stack and Tour Guide application are already installed. This section uses the Tour Guide
application to explain how to set up the boards.
4.1 Verify DECT Region Setting
The development kit is configured in EU DECT mode. To avoid any violations, the carrier boards may
need to be re-configured for the actual region. Follow the steps below to change the DECT region
settings.
1. Open HostApp (location is "Workspace_AVD/Tools/") on your PC and connect the PC to the FP
or PP board via USB (use WinHID connection).
Figure 6: HostApp Screenshot for Changing DECT Mode
2. Figure 6 presents the GUI of HostApp. The DECT mode can be changed by following the details
below:
a. Switch to "Production Test" tab (marked blue) and under "Project" browse to
"RtxProdTest.dll" (marked black).
b. Click the "SetDectMode" command on the left "Commands" column (marked green) and
enter your DECT region (for example, 0x1 = US_DECT) in the "Parameters" field (marked
red).
c. Click the "Execute" button (marked yellow), make sure that status in the "Output" is
"RSS_SUCCESS" (marked orange), and then power cycle or reset the module.
4.2 How to Set up
1. Power up the fixed part (FP) carrier board either via miniUSB cable or from a battery. When
power is supplied, the LEDs on the FP should light up, D5 red and D16 green, as shown in
Figure 3. Power up the PP in the same way.

2. Once the DECT link is established between FP and PP, the green LED (D16) turns OFF on both
boards and the red LED (D17 in Figure 7 and Figure 8) remains ON.

3. When the Tour Guide FP and PP are connected, FP will automatically start broadcasting audio.
4. Headsets can be connected via a 3.5 mm audio jack (marked red in Figure 9) to the FP carrier
board and to the PP carrier board, where the user can listen to broadcasted audio.
5. Optionally, smartphone outputs can be connected to "Line_In" on the FP board (marked blue in
Figure 9). Please note that the default analog input gain (+20 dB) is configured for headset use,
but it can be easily changed to, for example, 0 dB as described in the Audio Data Stack Tour
Guide example application ([2]). Use J9 jumper (marked yellow in Figure 9) to change the audio
input from J306 (Headset) to "Line In".
Figure 9: Audio Connector Definition
6. In Dialog's Tour Guide System, group members can ask questions to the tour guide after
pressing "PTT" button on the PP carrier board. Once the PTT button is pressed, a "question call"
is established automatically and the two parties can talk to each other.
7. Please refer to Audio Data Stack Tour Guide Example Application ([2]) for more details.
