SPBTLE-1S and SWD programming

Hello everyone,

Based on the evaluation board of 

SPBTLE-1S, we are going to make a board with 

SPBTLE-1S. So the question is:

Would be able to program the module (the internal BlueNRG) only with the below signals? We checked the schematics of the evaluation board but most of the components will be removed (like UART,USB,Sensors etc) and we want to keep only the core and the necessary components.

Yes, that's an older style 20-pin JTAG connector, if you are constrained for space the newer 10-pin connector might be another choice.

The bare minimum for programming the module via SWD is using 5 pins. Basically, from the connector in the schematics above, you just need:

• VBLUE
• GND
• JTMS-SWTDIO
• JTCK-SWTCK
• RESETN

If you have an STM32 Nucleo, you can use the SWD header pins of the ST-LINK/V2-1 to program the SPBTLE-1S module.
