Bluetooth® Low Energy Wireless Solution to Accelerate Realization of IoT of Embedded Devices.

Single chip Bluetooth® 5.0 Low Energy application controller using popular ARM Cortex M4 core with dedicated Secure Crypto Engine

 
The EK-RA4W1 evaluation kit enables users to effortlessly evaluate the features of the RA4W1 MCU Group and develop embedded systems applications using Renesas' Flexible Software Package (FSP)and various IDEs.
Enhanced Security and Privacy for Bluetooth 5.0 Low Energy Connections Supported with Flexible Software Package and Comprehensive Arm Ecosystem.

Renesas Electronics Corporation  introduced the first RA microcontroller (MCU) with an integrated Bluetooth® 5.0 Low Energy radio on 07 May 2020. The single-chip RA4W1 MCU includes a 48 MHz, 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M4 core and Bluetooth 5.0 core delivered in a 56-pin QFN package. Together, the RA4W1 MCU and easy-to-use Flexible Software Package (FSP) enables engineers to immediately begin development with Arm ecosystem software and hardware building blocks that work out-of-the-box with RA MCUs.

The RA4W1 MCU makes it easy for embedded designers to develop safe and secure IoT endpoint devices for Industry 4.0, building automation, metering, healthcare, consumer wearable, and home appliance applications. The MCU is also ideal for developing IoT edge devices for wireless sensor networks, IoT hubs, an add-on to gateways, and an aggregator to IoT cloud applications.

 
This LaunchPad™ speeds development with a Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) connection using the CC2640R2F or CC2640R2L devices. The compatible SDK offers a fully qualified Bluetooth 5 protocol stack for single-mode BLE applications supporting high speed mode and example Bluetooth 5 coded physical layers (PHY) for long range mode testing. A Bluetooth 4.2 stack is also available.

The X-NUCLEO-IDB05A2 Bluetooth low energy expansion board is based on the BlueNRG-M0 BLE network processor module.
The BlueNRG-M0 is Bluetooth v4.2 compliant, FCC and IC certified (FCC ID: S9NBNRGM0AL; IC: 8976C-BNRGM0AL). It supports simultaneous master/slave roles and can behave as a Bluetooth low energy sensor and hub device at the same time.
The BlueNRG-M0 provides a complete RF platform in a tiny form factor, with integrated radio, antenna, high frequency and LPO oscillators.
The X-NUCLEO-IDB05A2 is compatible with the ST morpho (not mounted) and Arduino UNO R3 connector layout.
The X-NUCLEO-IDB05A2 interfaces with the STM32 microcontroller via the SPI pin and allows changing the default SPI clock, SPI chip select and SPI IRQ by replacing a resistor on the expansion board.
Make your applications more secure and connected with the STM32
The nRF52805 SoC offers Bluetooth LE high-throughput 2 Mbps and enhanced Channel Selection Algorithm #2, and 2.4 GHz proprietary protocols for cost-constrained applications such as disposable medical products, styluses, sensors, and beacons.
