DVK-SIP-SFxx-y-GEVK EVBUM AX-SIP-SFxx-y-GEVK Evaluation Board User s Manual www.onsemi.com Introduction EVAL BOARD USERS MANUAL The DVKSIP SFxx yGEVK kit is a quick start solution for the development of Sigfox applications using the AXSIP SFxx y System in Package (SiP). The xx in the part numbers in this document refers to: xx = EU which corresponds to Sigfox region RC1. The y is for the revision. The y in the part numbers refers to the current version of the kit. Usage Customers can communicate with the AXSIP SFxx y SiP by terminal emulation software or with an external microcontroller to test Sigfox connectivity and to develop their application using the pre programmed AT command set as documented in the corresponding product datasheets. Kit Contents 1 Minimodule with AXSIPSFxxx SiP and SMA Connector 1 Debugger Interface with Ribbon Cable 1 MiniUSB Cable 1 SMA Antenna Figure 1.

Look for the Ports (COM & Attach the included antenna to the SMA connector on LPT) section. See below an example that shows a device connected to COM8 as highlighted in Figure 3. the minimodule. Connect the ribbon cable to the debugger board which is keyed. The other side of the ribbon cable connects to the minimodule, and the ribbon cable should be connected so that the ribbon cable points away from the minimodule. See Figure 2. Figure 2. Prerequisite Software A serial console or terminal emulator will be needed to communicate to the kit by PC over USB. Popular choices are PuTTY and hterm, but there are many others. The following link form sparkfun provides a lot of great information about serial consoles and how to use them. The link also describes many of the popular consoles you can choose from.
