Getting started with the STEVAL-BTDP1 USB dongle
Introduction
The STEVAL-BTDP1 evaluation board (dongle) has an embedded Bluetooth®class SPBT3.0DP1
module and includes a USB connector. The USB connector allows PC access to the Bluetooth module
and supplies power to the dongle.
The STEVAL-BTDP1 allows testing and working with the SPBT3.0DP1 module, so users can familiarize
themselves with the firmware and create Bluetooth links with simple AT commands.a

2 Getting started
2.1 Installing the drivers on host PC
To install the drivers on your PC, follow the procedure shown below.
No drivers need to be installed on the Bluetooth SPBT3.0DP1 module or the
evaluation board.
Step 1
Plug the STEVAL-BTDP1 into any available USB port: the computer will automatically
find the devices shown below.
Figure 2: USB drive installation first and second step
Step 2
A Found New Hardware Wizard installation window opens:
- select Yes, this time only to locate the drivers from the Microsoft®website
- click Next to confirm the installation of the identified STEVAL-BTDP1 USB to UART
controller and virtual COM port driver

Step 3
The Found New Hardware Wizard opens again to install the USB device driver:
- select Yes, this time only to locate the drivers from the Microsoft website
Figure 5: Wizard installation third step
Figure 6: Wizard installation completed
Step 4:
Open the Windows®device manager application to verify correct installation and
check which COM port is assigned to the STEVAL-BTDP1 Bluetooth serial
device
2
.The STEVAL-BTDP1 is usually assigned the same virtual COM port each
time it is inserted (unless there are other virtual COM devices altering port
assignments).

- check that two device drivers for the STEVAL-BTDP1 Bluetooth are shown
here.
Figure 7: Windows device manager
The CP2102 chip ensures standard UART serial communication from the computer via the
universal serial bus and interfaces directly with the Bluetooth module in the Bluetooth
serial adapter.
2.2 Two dongle communication
Two Bluetooth STEVAL-BTDP1 dongles on separate PCs can be implemented for the
development of applications involving cable-free communication.
