Hardware Setup

This section details the hardware requirements for running the various BM70/71 ASF demo applications.

The following are the instructions for the hardware setup to work as a GAP-Central and GAP-Peripheral device according to the application requirement.
  1. 1.Plug the BM70/71-Xpro into the EXT1 header of SAML21 Xplained Pro as illustrated in the following figure.
    Note: Step 1 is common for both the GAP-Central and GAP-Peripheral device.
  2. 2.For the GAP-Peripheral device, plug in the BNO055 board into the EXT2 of SAML21 Xplained Pro as illustrated in the following figure.
