5 CONFIGURING IFSYS-5651 FOR OPERATION
The IFSYS-5651 MSP430 Bluetooth Development board has versatile functionality, and can
operate in a number of different modes:
• it can be used to develop embedded Bluetooth applications based on both the
MSP430 and IFSYS-5043 Bluetooth Module,
• it can be used to develop Bluetooth applications based on the MSP430 and a
Bluetooth Module that is connected externally to one of the MSP430 UART ports
• it can be used to develop embedded applications for the MSP430 alone, or
• it can serve as a stand-alone Bluetooth development platform for the IFSYS-5043
Bluetooth Module.
• It can be used to develop application using the IFSYS-5043 as an HCI module alone.
This section details how to configure the IFSYS-5651 board to operate in any of these modes,
as well as configure the board to support firmware download operations to either the MSP430
or IFSYS-5043 module.
5.1 Configuring for MSP430 and IFSYS-5043 development
This is the configuration for developing MSP430 applications which make use of the on-
board IFSYS-5043 Bluetooth module based on CSR’s BC03 single chip radio.
5.2 Configuring for MSP430 stand-alone development
This is the configuration for developing MSP430 applications that do not make use of the
on-board IFSYS-5043 Bluetooth module.
5.3 Configuring for MSP430 and external Bluetooth module development
This configuration supports MSP430 Bluetooth development which makes use of an
external Bluetooth module attached to the RS232 port at P1 of the IFSYS-5651 board. In
this configuration, the Bluetooth module must be configured to use 3 wired HCI interface
mode.
5.4 Configuring for IFSYS-5043 for external hosted development
In this mode, the IFSYS-5043 Bluetooth module is connected to an external host, such as
a PC or other similar device running a Bluetooth stack. The IFSYS-5043 operates as an
HCI UART device in this case.
