Hi there,
Here introduce the firmware perspective about how to program your code onto MDBT50Q-RX dongle.
Believed all readers have done the hardware setting and now has well prepared to load the code onto the dongle. (If not yet done the hardware setting, pls find it here)
In this blog, we will introduce the procedure based on below 2 scenarios
Now we know what to look for and where they are, so now we have only got to tell you how to use them.
Some people might not know this, but for developing these things, you need to get something called J-Link to connect your MDBT50Q-RX to your desktop. However, since this J-Link, when buying the official one from SEGGER, is very expensive, we strongly recommend you to just buy the nRF52840-DK from Nordic Semiconductor as it can be used as a J-Link through their software development kit (SDK) called nRFgo Studio and is MUCH CHEAPER than the official J-Link from SEGGER is.
Sidenote: There are a couple of other reasons why you should just get your hands on a nRF52840-DK from Nordic Semiconductor instead of getting a SEGGER J-Link, but that’s not the topic of this post 😉
When this is done, this is finally how you connect your MDBT50Q-RX to your J-Link to make it all work:
Here you will have to pay attention to the fact that you have to connect J-Link pins 3, 5 & 9 to GND. Otherwise, you won’t be able to burn anything onto your dear MDBT50Q-RX.
The physical connection should look like this:
Pay attention to the direction of the cable, because that will also matter. The direction we mean in this case is which way the slim strip of red is facing.
As we have just revised our MDBT50Q-RX, our customers who have been developing firmware for our USB dongle should take a look at our previous blog post in which we explain about the changes made or contact us directly at service@raytac.com
Have a good day and we at Raytac wish you smooth and happy tinkering 🙂
