Breakpoints, single stepping, and instruction trace capture of code execution flow are part of this support. The BMD-300 also supports ETM and ITM trace. Trace data from the ETM and the ITM is sent to an external debugger via a 4-bit wide parallel trace port. In addition to parallel trace, the TPIU supports serial trace via the Serial Wire Output (SWO) trace protocol. 7.6 Clocks The BMD-300 Series requires two clocks, a high frequency clock and a low frequency clock. The high frequency clock is provided on-module by a high-accuracy 32-MHz crystal as required by the nRF52832 for radio operation. The low frequency clock can be provided internally by an RC oscillator or synthesized from the fast clock; or externally by a 32.768 kHz crystal. An external crystal provides the lowest power consumption and greatest accuracy. Using the internal RC oscillator with calibration provides acceptable performance for BLE applications at a reduced cost and slight increase in power consumption. Note: the ANT protocol requires the use of an external crystal. Symbol 32.768 kHz Crystal (LFXO) Parameter Typ.

Note: A full chip erase will clear the Rigado assigned MAC address from memory; see section 8.3 MAC Address Info on how to retain it. 8.1.2 Firmware Version AB Factory firmware version AB contains the Rigado RigDFU OTA and Serial bootloader v3.2.1 (43), Nordic S132 SoftDevice v2.0.0, and Rigado BMDware v3.1.1 (51). Modules can be programmed with customer code via BLE and UART interfaces using the bootloader and Rigado provided tools, or with a full-chip erase via the SWD interface. Examples apps for iOS and Android are provided that utilize the Rigablue Library for easy OTA updates. Visit the BMD Software Suite page at www.rigado.com for more information. Note: A full chip erase will clear the Rigado assigned MAC address from memory; see section 8.3 MAC Address Info on how to retain it. 8.1.3 Module Programming and Read-Back Protection RigDFU allows for UART and OTA updates to RigDFU, the SoftDevice and application firmware. Read-back protection of the BMD-300 Series modules is enabled which prevents unauthorized access to the firmware and optional encryption keys through the SWD debug port. If the SWD port is required, for example when developing custom firmware, the nRF52 must be erased and recovered. This is accomplished with the Rigado BMD-300 Eraser and Recovery Utility at www.rigado.com, or with nrfjprog, which is provided with the Nordic Semiconductor command line utilities:
nrfjprog -f NRF52 recover A full chip erase is performed, so all components will need re-loaded (RigDFU Bootloader, SoftDevice and application Firmware). The rigado/bootloader-tools repository on GitHub contains the utilities to load these items. Procedures are described in the RigDFU Datasheet at www.rigado.com for programming, firmware preparation, and update procedures. The BMD-300 Series modules may also be restored to the factory firmware versions noted above with the utilities available at the rigado/programming repository on GitHub. Access to the Rigado BMD Software Suite may be requested on the Rigado Website.

RF Design Notes 11.1 Recommended RF Layout & Ground Plane BMD-300 11.1.1 For the BMD-300, the integrated antenna requires a suitable ground plane to radiate effectively. The area under and extending out from the antenna portion of the module should be kept clear of copper and other metal. The module should be placed at the edge of the PCB with the antenna edge facing out. Reducing the ground plane from that shown in Figure 14 will reduce the effective radiated power. For example, a 27mm x 29mm board (about the size of a coin cell) has approximately 3dB lower output than the BMD-300 Evaluation Board. Figure 14 BMD-300 Recommended RF Layout BMD-301 11.1.2 For the BMD-301, refer to the external antenna datasheet for antenna placement and grounding recommendations. BMD-350 11.1.3 For the BMD-305, the integrated chip antenna requires a suitable ground plane to radiate effectively. The area under and extending out from the antenna portion of the module should be kept clear of copper and other metal. The module should be placed at the edge of the PCB with the antenna edge facing out. BMD-300-Series-DS V1.7 Page 20 of 34 BMD-300 Series Module Datasheet Bluetooth 4.2 LE October 20, 2016 Figure 15 BMD-350 Recommended RF Layout 11.2 Mechanical Enclosure For the BMD-300 and BMD-350, care should be taken when designing and placing the module into an enclosure. Metal should be kept clear from the antenna area, both above and below. Any metal around the module can negatively impact RF performance. The module is designed and tuned for the antenna and RF components to be in free air. Any potting, epoxy fill, plastic over-molding, or conformal coating can negatively impact RF performance and must be evaluated by the customer. For the BMD-301, refer to the external antenna datasheet for placement in or on a mechanical enclosure.
