PRODUCT INFORMATION: EVB1000
Overview of EVB1000 Evaluation Board
• Evaluation board incorporating DecaWave’s DW1000 IEEE802.15.4-2011 UWB compliant wireless
transceiver IC, STM32F105 ARM Cortex M3 processor, USB interface, LCD display and off-board
antenna
• DecaWave’s two-way ranging application, “DecaRanging”, pre-installed
• Industry standard ARM processor with ‘C’ source driver libraries available from DecaWave
• Full JTAG accessibility to the ARM processor using an industry standard pin-out header
• Includes an LCD display for reporting of measured range when running “DecaRanging”
• Display can be used for other functions as required depending on user programming
• On–board LED’s to indicate transmit, receive and other messaging states
• Supports USB connection to an external PC if required for more extensive user interface functionality
• Allows development of applications using the TOF / two way ranging / data transfer capability of the
DW1000 IC
• Off-board antenna connection allows evaluation of different antenna options
• On-board circuits designed to allow the customer measure the power consumption of the DW1000
subsystem independently of the other on-board circuitry
Key Benefits
• Integration of DW1000 IC, processor, display
and user interface options simplifies UWB
technology and product concept evaluation
• Optimum circuit design and layout best
illustrates the performance of the DW1000
• ARM based processor allows uses of
multiple tool chains / development
environments
• Hardware and software support materials
from DecaWave provide time-to-market
advantages
Target Applications
The DecaWave EVB1000 allows the development of applications in real time location systems (RTLS) and
wireless sensor networks (WSN) across a variety of markets including agriculture, building control and
automation, factory automation, healthcare, safety & security, warehousing & logistics and a range of
others
