From the landing page on the SPIRIT1 Radio, if i want to operate 915/922 MHz Band - what is required to get started? Can I use two of the Dongles evaluation modules -

STEVAL0IKRV001V5 (on a computer perhaps with 2 USB ports) or one each of the STEVAL-IKR002V5 and the above USB Dongle part STEVAL01KRV001V5. Thank you for your help.

Hello,

maybe there's a misundarstanding: the SPIRIT1 USB Dongle is the demonstration board described here:

http://www.st.com/web/en/catalog/tools/FM116/SC1075/PF258713?s_searchtype=keyword#

and whose part number is STEVAL-IDS001V5.

Instead, the STEVAL-IKR002V5 SPIRIT1 Evaluation Kit contains:

Two SPIRIT1 RF modules (tuned @915/922 MHz Band)
Two motherboards with STM32L microcontroller
Two antennas
Two USB cables

This kit is described here:

http://www.st.com/web/en/catalog/tools/PF259026

So, to use the kit, take one RF module and plug it into one motherboard, and connect the motherboard to a PC by means of the USB cable. Do the same for the remaining RF module/motherboard.

You can find the related User Manual here;
