Das BLE 6 Click Board™ ist ein zertifiziertes Bluetooth Low Energy System-on-Chip-Anwendungsprozessormodul, das den BT-Spezifikationen v5.0 entspricht und BQE-zertifiziert ist. Das von STMicroelectronics entwickelte BlueNRG-M2-Modul unterstützt mehrere Rollen gleichzeitig und kann gleichzeitig als Bluetooth-Master- und -Slave-Geräte fungieren. Das BlueNRG-M2 basiert auf dem BlueNRG-2 System-on-Chip und der gesamte Bluetooth Low Energy-Stack und die Protokolle sind in das Modul eingebettet.
Das BlueNRG-M2-Modul bietet eine komplette HF-Plattform in einem winzigen Formfaktor. Funk, eingebettete Antenne und Hochfrequenzoszillatoren sind integriert, um eine zertifizierte Lösung zur Optimierung der Markteinführungszeit der Endanwendungen zu bieten.
Der BLE 6 Click Board™ ist eine perfekte Lösung für verschiedene IoT-Anwendungen, Smart-Home-Anwendungen, BLE-fähiges Spielzeug, fortschrittliche Robotik und andere ähnliche Anwendungen
How Does The BLE 6 Click Board™ Work?
The BLE 6 Click Board™ uses the BlueNRG-M2, a Bluetooth low energy application processor module compliant with Bluetooth® v5.0. The BlueNRG-M2 module has been designed around the ST BlueNRG-2 SoC where its Cortex-M0 core can execute both Bluetooth protocols and customer application. Optimized memory architecture includes 256 kB of Flash memory and 24 kB of ultra-low-leakage RAM (with full data retention). A complete power-optimized Bluetooth stack library provides:
- Master, slave and multiple role support;
- GAP: central, peripheral, observer or broadcaster roles;
- Simultaneous advertising and scanning;
- Capability of being a slave of up to two masters simultaneously;
- ATT/GATT: client and server;
- SM: privacy, authentication and authorization;
- L2CAP;
- Link Layer: AES-128 encryption and decryption.
The BLUENRG-M2 module has both 32 MHz and 32 kHz crystal oscillators implemented. It has been designed to leverage the BlueNRG-2 integrated DC-DC step-down converter in order to achieve the best power consumption in active mode. It also embeds a high-efficiency chip antenna. It can be configured to support both application processor (host-less) and network processor (hosted) modes. The BlueNRG-M2 module provides a complete RF application platform in a tiny form factor (11.5 x 13.5 x 2.0 mm) and being a certified solution optimizes the time to market of the final applications. The BlueNRG-M2 module allows applications to meet the tight advisable peak current requirements imposed with the use of standard coin cell batteries.
There are two possible software architectures: Host-less mode (application processor - customer application runs on the BlueNRG-M2 module) and Hosted mode (network processor - the module is configured as network module controlled by an external host connected via SPI or UART). The module comes with a pre-programmed UART bootloader. The BlueNRG-M2 embeds the ARM serial wire debug (SWD) port routed to the SWD header connector. It is two pin (clock and single bi-directional data) debug interface, providing all the debug functionality plus real-time access to system memory without halting the processor or requiring any target resident code. Since the SPI peripheral can be used either as master or slave, the onboard SMD jumpers labeled as MODE SEL allow switching between the two.
The BLE 6 Click Board™ is designed to be operated only with a 3.3V logic level. A proper logic voltage level conversion should be performed before the Click board™ is used with MCUs with logic levels of 5V.

Software Support
We provide a library for the BLE 6 Click Board™ on our LibStock page, as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Library Description
The library covers all the necessary functions to control the BLE 6 Click Board™. Library performs a standard UART interface communication.
Key Functions
uint8_t ble6_read_byte( void )- Read Single Byte.void ble6_write_byte ( uint8_t input )- Write Single Byte.void ble6_send_command ( uint8_t *tx_data, uint8_t n_bytes )- Send command function.
Example Description
The application is composed of three sections :
- System Initialization - Initializes UART, sets RST, CS and PWM pin as outputs and begins to write a log.
- Application Initialization - Initialization driver enables - UART, sets handlers initialize and enable UART interrupt, reset and configures BLE module, initialize BLE Server Profile ( Services and Characteristics ).
- Application Task - (code snippet) This example demonstrates the use of the BLE 6 Click Board™. The app starts by checking the system ready flag and returns the Bluetooth device address. After that, the chain of commands creates Primary Server Profiles: Device Information, Generic Access and Custom Service to Start Advertising. For transmit messages, we use Generic Access Primary Service with Write permissions of the characteristic Element. In this example, transmitting message is limited to a maximum of 11 characters. Results are being sent to the Usart Terminal where you can track their changes.
