5 Setting Up the Hardware

Using TI’s dual-mode Bluetooth CC256x solution (CC256XQFNEM or CC2564MODNEM), the STM32 MCU evaluation board (STM3240G-EVAL or STM32F4DISCOVERY), with the support of the CC256xEM Bluetooth adapter kit (CC256XEM-STADAPT), developers canevaluate both classic and Bluetooth low energy capabilities with the TI Dual-Mode Bluetooth stack on STM32F4 MCUs.

To set up the hardware, perform the following steps:

1. Fit the jumpers onto the adaptor board. (Ensure the jumpers are set to the correct position. For more information on the jumper positions and connections to the specific STM32 boards, see the CC256xEM Bluetooth Adapter Kit User's Guide [SWRU417] and the CC256xEM Bluetooth Adapter Kit Quick Start Guide [SWRU416].)
2. Fit the adaptor board on top of the STM32 board. (See Figure 4 for an example using the STM3240G-EVAL board. See Figure 5 for an example using the STM32F4DISCOVERY board.)
3. Install the CC256X module board on the adaptor board.

Figure 3 shows the setup for the STM32 board.
