Getting started with the STEVAL-IDB007V1M SPBTLE-1S module
development kit
Introduction
The SPBTLE-1S module is a low power Bluetooth®smart system-on-chip, compliant with the Bluetooth®
v4.2 specification and supporting master, slave and simultaneous master-and-slave roles.
The available kit is the STEVAL-IDB007V1M development platform (order code: STEVAL-IDB007V1M).
The STEVAL-IDB007V1M provides a set of hardware resources for a wide range of application
scenarios: sensor data (accelerometer, pressure and temperature sensor), remote control (buttons and
LEDs) and debug message management through USB virtual COM. Three power options are available
(USB only, battery only and external power supply plus USB) for high application development and
testing flexibility.

piezoresistive absolute pressure sensor which functions as a digital output barometer.
The device comprises a sensing element and an IC interface which communicates
through I²C from the sensing element to the application.

Hardware description
UM2264
12/55
DocID030868 Rev 1
2. An LSM6DS3 3D (region I) digital accelerometer and 3D digital gyroscope with
embedded temperature sensor which communicates via SPI interface. One line for
interrupt is also connected.
2.6 Extension connector
SPBTLE-1S module signal test points are shared on two Arduino-compliant connector
rows: CN1, CN3 (Figure 2: "STEVAL-IDB007V1M board components" –region J) and CN2,
CN4 (region L). See Table 2: "SPBTLE-1S module pin description with board functions".
2.7 Push-buttons
The board has one user button to reset the microcontroller (Figure 2: "STEVAL-
IDB007V1M board components" –region M) and two further buttons for application
purposes (region N).
2.8 JTAG connector
A JTAG connector (Figure 2: "STEVAL-IDB007V1M board components" –region O) allows
SPBTLE-1S module (BlueNRG-1 microcontroller inside the module) programming and
debugging with an in-circuit debugger and programmer such as ST-LINK/V2.
Only SWD mode is supported
2.9 LEDs
LEDs DL1 (yellow), DL2 (red), DL3 (blue) and DL4 (green, power LED) are available on the
board (Figure 2: "STEVAL-IDB007V1M board components" –regions G and P).
2.10 STM32L151CBU6 microcontroller
The most important feature of the STM32L151CBU6 48-pin microcontroller (Figure 2:
"STEVAL-IDB007V1M board components" –regions Q) is the USB to serial bridge
providing an I/O channel with the BlueNRG-1 device inside the SPBTLE-1S module.
The microcontroller is connected to the BlueNRG-1 device through an ST2378E level
translator (region R).
The STM32L microcontroller on the board is not intended to be programmed by
users. ST provides a pre-programmed firmware image for the sole purpose of
interfacing BlueNRG-1 to a USB host device (e.g., a PC).
2.11 Current measurements
To monitor the power consumption of the SPBTLE-1S module only, remove the jumper
from JP4 and insert an ammeter between pins 1 and 2 of the connector (when the power is
ON, remove the USB connection).
Since power consumption of the BlueNRG-1 is usually very low, an accurate instrument in
the range of few micro amps is recommended.
