Do I need the evaluation board after programming?

Answer · ‎Jul 12, 2021

Hi,

I bought the CY8CKIT-042-BLE-A pioneer kit and I would like to use it to send a signal from the module to the computer (Maybe a sensor). I noticed in the training tutorial the BLE (CY8CKKIT) module is mounted on the evaluation board.

Is that necessary after the program has been run or can I removed it like an Arduino?

Also, Is the lithium battery (CR2025) used to power only the BLE module while the USB is powering the evaluation board?

How can I power it with an external power source (different 3V battery)? which pins?

--> You can either remove the module from the baseboard or you can let it be there on the baseboard after programming. In case if you remove the module from the baseboard, you need to power the VDDD, GND pins present on the bottom left of the module (programming header). Please find the attached image. The voltage source can vary between 1.8volts to 5.5 volts.

Thanks

Ganesh
