... AN757 3. Hardware Setup Connect the badger board to a USB port on the PC using the USB extender cable shown in Figure 2. Once the board is plugged in, the blue LED (DS9) will turn on indicating that the badger board is ready for use. 4. Firmware Update To ensure that the badger board has the latest firmware recommended to perform a firmware update. The firmware update utility is installed by default at the following location: C:\Silabs\Reference_Designs\BadgerBoard\Utilities\FlashProgrammer\update_firmware ...

... Charging the Badger Board The badger board is charging any time it is plugged into USB and the blue LED (DS9) is turned on. The badger board will charge to 75% capacity (3 approximately 90 seconds and to 100% capacity (3 minutes. There is no risk of overcharging the supercapacitor if the board is connected to USB indefinitely. ...

... Once the countdown on the iOS device expires, a series of light pulses will be generated by the iOS device and captured by the light sensor. After the transmission is complete, the user string is displayed on the badger board LCD. Figure 5 shows screenshots from the iOS application and a badger board user string being updated over the light sensor interface. ...

... Occasionally, ambient light conditions will not be ideal for updating the user-defined string over the light sensor interface important that the iOS device be located in close proximity to the badger board to block out ambient light when it is transmitting a “dark” pulse equally important to ensure that the iOS screen brightness is set high enough to generate sufficient light when transmitting a “ ...

... When plugged into USB, the supercapacitor is charged to a nominal voltage of 3.8 V. 10.3. ToolStick Debug Adapter (U3) The badger board features a debug adapter via the card edge USB connector. This debug adapter can be used with the Precision32 (1.0.2 and higher) and ARM uVision IDEs (4.54 and higher). When using an older version of the IDEs, the debug adapter DLLs in the IDE directories must be replaced to support the ToolStick Debug Adapter. Contact technical support (see “ ...

... Badger Board Firmware Overview 11.1. System Overview The badger board firmware uses an event-driven architecture to stay in Power Mode 8 (PM8) at all times except when necessary to perform a system task. The two hardware wakeup sources used are pin wake and RTC wake. In active mode, the MCU operates on its 20 MHz low-power oscillator, and the APB clock is set to AHB/2. ...
