1. INTRODUCTION
Based on TI’s outstanding CC2640R2 BLE technology, Innocomm’s BM15_AN R2 module is a wireless
microcontroller (MCU) targeting Bluetooth® 4.2 and Bluetooth 5 low-energy applications.
It is with very low active RF and MCU current and low-power mode current consumption provide excellent
battery lifetime and allow for operation on small coin cell batteries and in energy-harvesting applications and
embedded PCB antenna.
BM15_AN R2 module contains a powerful 32-bit Cortex M3 running up to 48 MHz as the main processor and
a rich peripheral feature set that includes a unique ultra-low power sensor controller.
Bluetooth low energy controller and host libraries are embedded in ROM and run partly on an
ARM® Cortex®-M0 processor. This architecture improves overall system performance and power
consumption and frees up significant amounts of flash memory for the application.

10. Product and Documentation Support
10.1. Development Support
TI offers an extensive line of development tools, including tools to evaluate the performance of the
processors, generate code, develop algorithm implementations, and fully integrated and debug
software and hardware modules.
The following products support development of the CC2640 R2 device applications:
Software Tools:
SmartRF™ Studio 7 is a PC application that helps designers of radio systems to easily evaluate the
RF-IC at an early stage in the design process.
• Test functions for sending and receiving radio packets, continuous wave transmit and receive
• Evaluate RF performance on custom boards by wiring it to a supported evaluation board or
debugger
• Can also be used without any hardware, but then only to generate, edit and export radio
configuration settings
• Can be used in combination with several development kits for Texas Instruments’ CCxxxx RF-ICs
Sensor Controller Studio provides a development environment for the CC26xx Sensor Controller.
The Sensor Controller is a proprietary, power-optimized CPU in the CC26xx, which can perform
simple background tasks autonomously and independent of the System CPU state.
• Allows for Sensor Controller task algorithms to be implemented using a C-like programming
language
• Outputs a Sensor Controller Interface driver, which incorporates the generated Sensor Controller
machine code and associated definitions
• Allows for rapid development by using the integrated Sensor Controller task testing and debugging
functionality. This allows for live visualization of sensor data and algorithm verification.
IDEs and Compilers:
Code Composer Studio:
• Integrated development environment with project management tools and editor
• Code Composer Studio (CCS) 7.0 and later has built-in support for the CC26xx device family
• Best support for XDS debuggers; XDS100v3, XDS110 and XDS200

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter.

Radiation Exposure Statement:
The product comply with the FCC portable RF exposure limit set forth for an uncontrolled
environment and are safe for intended operation as described in this manual. The further RF
exposure reduction can be achieved if the product can be kept as far as possible from the
user body or set the device to lower output power if such function is available.
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
1) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna.
As long as 1 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However,
the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional
compliance requirements required with this module installed
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example
certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC
authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final
product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the
end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
End Product Labeling
The product can be kept as far as possible from the user body or set the device to lower
output power if such function is available. The final end product must be labeled in a visible
area with the following: “Contains FCC ID: YAIBM15R2”. The grantee's FCC ID can be
used only when all FCC compliance requirements are met.
Manual Information To the End User
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding
how to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the end product which
integrates this module.
The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as show in
this manual.
