Introduction
The STEVAL-IDB007Vx (STEVAL-IDB007V1/STEVAL-IDB007V2) is an evaluation board based on BlueNRG-1 (QFN32
package).
The STEVAL-IDB008Vx (STEVAL-IDB008V1/STEVAL-IDB008V2) is an evaluation board based on BlueNRG-2 (QFN32
package).
The STEVAL-IDB009Vx (STEVAL-IDB009V1) is an evaluation board based on BlueNRG-2 (QFN48 package).
BlueNRG-1 (QFN32 package) and BlueNRG-2 (QFN32 and QFN48 packages) are low power Bluetooth® smart systems-on-
chip compliant with the Bluetooth® specification and support master, slave and simultaneous master-and-slave roles.
The document content is valid for the STEVAL-IDB007Vx, STEVAL-IDB008Vx and STEVAL-IDB009Vx platforms. Any specific
difference is highlighted whenever it is needed.

3Getting started
The evaluation board is preprogrammed with sensor profile firmware (BLE_SensorDemo.hex) which allows to set
and establish a connection with a smartphone (iOS or Android) running a BlueNRG sensor application which
works with the sensor profile firmware running on the STEVAL-IDB007Vx, STEVAL-IDB008Vx or STEVAL-
IBD009Vx evaluation board.
The sensor profile firmware implements a proprietary Bluetooth profile which exposes two services: acceleration
and environmental service.
The acceleration service contains the following characteristics:
• Acceleration: it gives the current value of the acceleration detected by the MEMS sensor on the evaluation
board.
• Free fall characteristic: it allows detection of free-fall condition by the LSM6DS3 MEMS sensor on the
evaluation board (the condition is detected if the acceleration on the 3 axes is near zero for a certain amount
of time).
The environmental service contains characteristics that expose data from some environmental sensors, such as
temperature sensors.
3.1 Powering up the evaluation board running the sensor profile firmware
(peripheral role)
Two power options are available:
•Batteries - To power the selected evaluation board using batteries, 2 AAA batteries must be inserted into
the battery holder at the rear of the board, and jumper JP1 set to position 2-3 and jumper JP2 set to position
1-2 (Figure 6. Board power options).
•USB - To power the selected evaluation board through USB, jumper JP1 must be in position 1-2 and jumper
JP2 set to position 2-3 (Figure 6. Board power options ). Connect a USB cable to the micro-USB connector
(Figure 6. Board power options) and to a PC USB port.
Once powered, the evaluation board sensor profile firmware starts advertising, waiting for a smartphone to
connect to it.

3.2 Install the BlueNRG app for smartphones (central role)
• Two versions (Android and iOS) of the smartphone sensor application are available for download on the
specific web pages (Table 2. Reference information Android & iOS SensorApp).
• Install the smartphone SensorApp application on the selected smartphone.
3.3 Run BlueNRG app for smartphones
• Launch the BlueNRG SensorApp application on the smartphone
• It starts scanning for the BlueNRG sensor peripheral. A device called “BlueNRG” appears on the screen (this
is the STEVAL-IDB007Vx, STEVAL-IDB008Vx or STEVAL-IDB009Vx running the sensor profile firmware)
• Tap on the BlueNRG name to connect to the selected platform running the sensor profile firmware. The
BlueNRG SensorApp application enables notifications on the acceleration characteristic and displays the
received value on the screen.

4Software demonstration applications
• In order to develop a software application for the STEVAL-IDB007Vx, STEVAL-IDB008Vx or STEVAL-
IDB009Vx evaluation board, it is recommended to start with the reference demonstration applications
provided within the BlueNRG-1_2 DK SW package for BlueNRG-1, BlueNRG-2 BLE stack v2.x family
(STSW-BLUENRG1-DK) available on the STEVAL-IDB007Vx, STEVAL-IDB008Vx, STEVAL-IDB009Vx web
pages, or the BlueNRG-1_V1 DK SW package for BlueNRG-1 BLE stack v1.x family (STSW-BNRG_V1-
DK), available on the STEVAL-IDB007Vx web page.
• Unzip the file, launch the related installer and follow installation steps.
• Wait for the package installation to complete.
• The Projects folder in DK SW package contains the available demonstration applications, IAR projects,
sources and header files.
• IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM (EWARM) tool is needed for building and downloading software
applications running on the BlueNRG-1, BlueNRG-2 microcontrollers.
Note: For a description of the available BlueNRG-1, BlueNRG-2 demonstration applications and supported platforms,
refer to BlueNRG-1, BlueNRG-2 development kits user manual available on the related web page. The
BLE_SensorDemo.hex prebuilt binary images for BlueNRG-1, BlueNRG-2 platforms are also provided within the
DK software package, in the Firmware folder.
Keil MDK-ARM and Atollic TrueStudio for ARM (GCC) toolchains projects are also available.
