1. General Information of BT2540 Bluetooth 4.0 BLE (CC2540) Module

1.1. Scope This document describes the basic functionalities and the electrical specifications of Univelop LLC’s BT2540 (CC2540) Bluetooth BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) module.

1.2. General Description The BT2540 Bluetooth 4.0 BLE (CC2540) Module is a cost-effective, low-power

module for Bluetooth low energy applications. It enables robust BLE master or slave nodes to be built with very low total bill-of-material costs. The BT2540 combines an excellent RF transceiver with an industry-standard enhanced 8051 MCU, in-system programmable flash memory, 8-KB RAM/256-KB flash, USB port and many other powerful supporting features and peripherals. The BT2540 is suitable for systems where very low power consumption is required. Very low-power sleep modes are available. Short transition times between operating modes further enable low power consumption.

4. Software and PC Configuration

4.1. Install Latest SmartRF Studio Download SmartRF studio and install it in the computer, which includes the driver for USB debugger



9

4.2. Install USB debugger for BT2540 (CC2540) Module Plug USB debugger for BT2540 (CC2540) Module into one of the USB port on the computer, the software will be installed automatically, afterwards, USB debugger for BT2540 (CC2540) Module will be shown up as following:

4.3. Usage with SmartRF studio 7

double click the above item, a windows will be popped out.



10

4.4. Usage with SmartRF Flash Programmer After open software SmartRF Flash programmer, you can click “flash image” to select different flash image files, and then click “Perform actions” to program the chip in BT2540.



11

4.5. Usage with IAR Embedded Workbench for 8051 The USB debugger for cc2540 Bluetooth module and BT2540 module also supports latest IAR Embedded Workbench for 8051. Here are the steps:

a. First install IAR Embedded Workbench for 8051 from EW8051-8111-Autorun.exe in CDROM/software/. This step will install drivers for Smart05RF lite BDM.

b. Connect the Smart05RF lite BDM with USB to that machine, the driver will be installed automatically.

c. Install BLE-CC254x-1.3.exe in CD-ROM\Bluetooth_BLE. Which is all the source and example code from TI for CC2540.

d. Use 10 pin BDM cable to connect BDM socket on the adaptor with BT2540 model, then use USB cable to connect the smartRF05 lite with a Personal Computer (PC).

!!! please be sure that the pin alignment (pin 1 from BDM should connect with pin 1 on BT 2540 model).



12

e. Open IAR, then open an example workshop installed in Step c., one example is as follows:

f. select the project, then click right button of mouse, and select “option” as follows:

then following windows will pop-up,

g. in this window, then select “Debugger” select Driver as “Texas Instruments”

Then you are done. You just compile/make the whole project, and run the code, if you are in step model,



13

Here is the screenshop for the usage with “IAR Embedded Workbench for 8051”

4.6. Usage with BTool if it is UART/RS232, (port# need to be replaced with the actual port #)

if it is Serial over USB: (port# need to be replaced with the actual port #)
