The Nemo module is equipped an external 26MHz crystal oscillator and BALUN for a single ended RF input and output path. NEMO incorporates CSR BlueCore 6 ROM WLCP chipset that is fully compliant to the Bluetooth 2.1 specification with Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) radio for transfers up to 3Mbit throughput. The Nemo module has uses CSR’s BlueCore 6 built in voltage regulator for powering the radio and digital circuitry. The separate IO supply line give the option of running the digital interfaces such as the high speed UART and PCM port at different signal voltages to match the external host MCU’s digital interfaces. The built in CSR voltage regulators supplies the 1.8V supply to the radio and digital MCU blocks of the CSR chip. The module converts CSRs differential RF output and input into a single ended RF path for transmit and receive. Matching circuitry is in line between the CSR device and the BALUN for optimized transmit output and receive sensitivity. The high speed UART interface, PCM port, GPIO along with WLAN co-existence interface lines are all brought outside of the module. The UART interface communicates with an external host running the upper Bluetooth stack and using the BlueCore Serial Protocol over the Bluetooth defined Host Controller Interface (HCI) layer. The UART is used to send HCI commands and events to and from the external host to the NEMO module. Asynchronous and Synchronous data is sent between the module and external host via the UART interface as well. Asynchronous data sent and received over an Asynchronous packet switched RF link defined by the Bluetooth specification as “Asynchronous ConnectionLess” (ACL). Synchronous data such as audio data uses “Synchronous Connection Oriented” (SCO) circuit switched RF links defined by the Bluetooth specification. ACL data links can retransmit lost or corrupted data continuously due to the packet switched connection. SCO data can provide fast reliable continuous synchronous data over the circuit-switched RF link. Synchronous audio data received or transmitted over the air via a Bluetooth SCO connection can be immediately decoded over the air and passed directly through CSR’s digital PCM port for audio applications. The module also support I2S digital formats through the same physical PCM port for systems supporting I2S interfaces. A slow clock 32.768kHz input is brought out for support for Deep Sleep and Standy By low power modes in between radio transmissions. This is used to keep the CSR radio from drifting out of

NEMO Firmware Functional Description The Nemo module incorporates the CSR BlueCore 6 ROM chipset and ROM Bluetooth firmware. The firmware controls the CSR internal MCU, IO handling, radio control and also incorporates the lower Bluetooth protocol stack. The lower stack includes the Link Controller (LC), Link Manager or Link Manager Protocol (LM, LMP), Bluetooth radio Baseband (BB). These Bluetooth protocol stack components are all qualified to the Bluetooth v2.1+ EDR specification supporting all features such as Adaptive Frequency Hopping “AFH”, low power mode link modes (Hold, Sniff, Park) end Extended Synchronous Connection Oriented (eSCO) links. The lower stack is a prequalified Bluetooth component. This means that the lower stack and baseband has already been tested and recognized by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) as a working qualified software stack. No further testing of these lower stack components are necessary when seeking Bluetooth qualification. Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) can be obtained from CSR or the Bluetooth SIG and submitted for these particular test cases and bypassed. The firmware is burned into ROM within the CSR BlueCore 6 chipset. There is no need to load the firmware from an external memory device or from the host via a communication interface. The Nemo module and CSR chipset is initialized via a small subset of registers (PSKEYS) that can easily be programmed via the UART interface. These PSKEYS configure and control the radio behavior, interfaces (UART baud rate, PCM settings, etc), and holds information such as the Bluetooth address and country code of operation. Detailed descriptions of the necessary PSKEY that need to be set are discussed later in this document.

This command set, called BlueCore Command (BCCMD), provides: o Access to the chip's general-purpose PIO port o The negotiated effective encryption key length on established Bluetooth links o Access to the firmware's random number generator o Controls to set the default and maximum transmit powers; these can help minimize interference between overlapping, fixed-location piconets o Dynamic UART configuration o Bluetooth radio transmitter enable/disable. A simple command connects to a dedicated hardware switch that determines whether the radio can transmit. • A block of BCCMD commands provides access to the chip's Persistent Store (PS) configuration database. The database sets the device's Bluetooth address, Class of Device, Bluetooth radio (transmit class) configuration, SCO routing, LM, constants, etc. • A UART break condition can be used in three ways: o Presenting a UART break condition to the chip can force the chip to perform a hardware reboot o Presenting a break condition at boot time can hold the chip in a low power state, preventing normal initialization while the condition exists o With BCSP, the firmware can be configured to send a break to the host before sending data. (This is normally used to wake the host from a Deep-Sleep state.) • A block of Bluetooth radio test or BIST commands allows direct control of the chip's radio. This aids the development of modules' radio designs, and can be used to support Bluetooth qualification. • Hardware low power modes: Shallow Sleep and Deep-Sleep. The chip drops into modes that significantly reduce power consumption when the software goes idle. • SCO channels are normally routed via HCI (over BCSP). However, up to three SCO channels can be routed over the chip's PCM ports (at the same time as routing any remaining SCO channels over HCI).

Four signals from NEMO implement the UART function. The signal operation amplitude can be varied with the external +VBT_IO supply pin. This is useful for different systems that support different digital communication amplitudes such as 3.3V or 1.8V. When NEMO is connected to another digital device, BT_CTRL_RXD_N and BT_CTRL_TXD_N transfer data between the two devices. The other two remaining UART pins, BT_CTRL_RTS_N and BT_CTRL_CTS_N, can be used as hardware flow control signal as used in RS232 communications. The high speed UART can support up to 4Mbits in throughput which is needed for data transfers using EDR RF link payloads with 3Mbit over the air throughput. The baud rate and other configuration parameters can be set via the firmware and PSKEYs during bootup and initialization. BlueCore Serial Protocol (BCSP) This document only describes CSR’s BlueCore Serial Protocol overview and does not go into detail on BCSP implementation, packet structure and stack elements. Please refer to CSR’s “BlueCore Serial Protocol (bcore-sp-012Pb).pdf” document for more a detailed explanation and implementation. BCSP must be implemented on the Host to communicate to the NEMO module. BlueCore Serial Protocol (BCSP) is a protocol used to carry data that flow through a reliable UART link. The Bluetooth stack has been designed to transfer data between a Bluetooth Host and a Host Controller (NEMO). The Bluetooth stack is intended to be used to carry the Bluetooth HCI (Host Controller Interface) protocols plus several others. BCSP is intended to be used with CSR based Host Controllers (NEMO), which provides hardware to support much of the Bluetooth stack functionality.

The Bluetooth stack carries a set of parallel information that flows between the two process entities, multiplexing them over the single UART link. Figure 6: BCSP Context An instance of the BCSP stack runs on both the Host and the Host Controller (NEMO). The BCSP stack is layered above the UART on each side.

However, BCSP can also run on a 5 wire UART connection (TXD, RXD, GND, CTS, RTS) which is common for higher baud rates. BLUECORE COMMAND (BCCMD) PROTOCOL This document only gives an overview of CSR’s BCCMD Protocol overview and does not go into detail on BCCMD implementation, command set and events. The BlueCore Command Protocol (BCCMD) is used to configure parameters such as UART Baud Rate, Bluetooth address and initiate NEMO’s radio. BCCMD and BCSP are protocols that need to be implemented on the Host connected to NEMO via the UART interface. For detailed information and implementation of CSR’s BCCMD Protocol please refer to CSR’s “BCCMD Protocol (bcore-sp-002Pc).pdf” document. BCCMD describes a software interface to a command interpreter on a CSR BlueCore Bluetooth device, in this case the BlueCore 6 ROM chip inside NEMO. The command interpreter presents commands and events that allow monitoring and control of specific CSR ship functions outside of the Bluetooth stack protocol. The command set is not part of the Bluetooth protocol. BCCMD allows the software on the Bluetooth Host to control and monitor the CSR BlueCore ship and flows alongside the normal Host Controller Interface (HCI) channels. The BCCMD protocol is carried over the UART link over a BCSP channel. Figure 7: BCCMD Interface

These interfaces are intended to be used for quick transfer of synchronous audio date transmitted or received over Bluetooth SCO audio links for voice applications such as headsets and hands free kits. These signals can also vary in operation amplitude based on the +VBT_IO supply pin. PCM is a standard method for digitizing audio (particularly voice) for transmission over digital communications channels. The dedicated PCM port reduces overhead processing power for battery powered devices. The PCM port bi-directional digital audio interface is routed directly into the CSR radio baseband for fast encoding/decoding. The audio is not passed through the UART/HCI layer. The digitized audio through the baseband is sent and received via Bluetooth defined RF SCO links. The PCM port can operate as a the PCM master generating an output clock of 128, 256, 512, 1536, and 2400kz. When configured as a PCM slave, NEMO can support a master input clock up to 2400kHz. A variety of clock formats are supported including, Long Frame Sync, Short Frame Sync, and GCI timing environments. It supports 13-bit or 16-bit linear. 8-bit µ-law or A-law companded sample formats at 8ksamples/s. These samples can be received and transmitting through any selection of the first 3 out of the 4 timing slots following BT_PCM_SYNC_P. PCM Interface Master/Slave When NEMO is configured as a PCM master, NEMO generates BT_PCM_CLK_P and BT_PCM_SYNC signals Figure 8: PCM Interface Master

The rising edge of BT_PCM_SYNC_P indicates the start of a PCM word in Long Frame Sync. When NEMO is configured as a PCM master, generating BT_PCM_SYNC_P and BT_PCM_CLK_P, the BT_PCM_SYNC_P is 8-bits long. As a PCM slave, BT_PCM_SYNC_P may be from two consecutive falling edges of BT_PCM_SYNC_P to half of the BT_PCM_SYNC_P rate, i.e 62.5us long.

Using this mode limits BT_PCM_CLK_P to 126, 256 or 512kHz, and BT_PCM_SYNC_P to 8kHz. • Generating these signals by DDS from an internal 48MHz clock (which allows greater range of frequencies to be generated with low jitter but consumes more power). This method is selected by setting bit 48M_PCM_CLK_GEN_EN in the PSKEY_PCM_CONFIG32 key. When in this mode and with long frame sync, the length of the BT_PCM_SYNC_P can either be8 or 16 cycles of BT_PCM_CLK_P, determined by LONG_LENGTH_SYNC_EN bit in the PSKEY_PCM_CONFIG32 key.

The firmware is loaded from BlueCore’s internal ROM. The NEMO module is boot-strapped to use the UART interface upon power up. The BCSP communication protocol along with the BCCMD protocol is used over the UART. PIO 4 must be held low in order to boot into BCSP over the UART successfully. Configuration of NEMO is handled through the UART interface and BCCMD protocol. The Bluetooth address, UART baud rate, PCM configuration and country code are all parameters that can be configured on the ROM device upon power up. These parameters are programmed into Persistent Store Keys in RAM and are loaded into firmware after a soft reset. NEMO Boot Process 1. Power up NEMO with PIO4 pulled low. 2. Initialize BCSP communications over the UART link. 3. Load and program the PSKEYS via BCCMD commands necessary for the initialization 4. Issue BCCMD warm_reset command 5. Re-initialize BCSP communications 6. Module is ready for operation This process needs to be performed during every cold boot or hard reset on NEMO. UART Auto Baud Rate The NEMO module can support booting into UART mode without pre-configuration of the baud rate, and clock reference. Although a 26MHz internal crystal oscillator is built into the module, the CSR BlueCore device needs to be configured to use the clock reference for radio and UART communication purposes. The CSR device support an “AUTOBAUD” adaption algorithm where the Host can communicate over the UART link to load configuration PSKEYS into RAM and perform initialization of the module. The AUTOBAUD UART baud rate adaption mechanism starts by treating the UARTS RXD data line as a simple PIO input, and it records the hosts initial UART traffic in a buffer. The mechanism then examines the recorded data stream to determine the times between signal level transitions and, from this, derives the baud rate the host is using. The mechanism then matches the measured baud rate.

The Sync message packet is a reasonably good data set for the analysis to complete, though at high baud rates several sync messages from the BCSP stack may need to be sent. This AUTOBAUD mechanism must complete before any normal UART traffic is passed to or from the host transport. For example, the BCSP Link Establishment messages described in CSR’s BlueCore Serial Protocol document are neither transmitted or responded to until the UART’s baud rate has been set by this mechanism. The mechanism is designed to operate between 38.4 kbaud and 691.2 kbaud. However, testing from CSR has only been concentrated on operation between 56 kbaud and 115.2 kbaud. Implementers are therefore advised to choose a bootup baud rate within these ranges. During cold boot, the CSR BlueCore device can operate where the systems clock frequency is unknown. This causes BlueCore to run more slowly than normal. Consequently, the range of acceptable baud rates is shifted down pro-rata. The radio is not operational until the external system clock is defined in the PSKEY setting. This is due to the PLL not locking to a known external clock frequency. Therefore, the system clock must be programmed upon boot-up via the PSKEY_ANA_FREQ persistent store key in order for the radio to operate. Operation with an unknown system clock implies dual-boot initialization of NEMO. The approach is for the host to use a safe tested baud rate at the during cold boot (115.2 kbaud), then to set the external clock frequency to 26MHz and the actual baud rate via PSKEYS then issue a “warm reset” command to NEMO over the same UART interface. For more details on AUTOBAUD rate of the CSR device, please refer to the “UART Baud Rate Adaption (bcore-me-019Pd).pdf” document available from CSR directly. Persistent Store Keys (PSKEYS) Persistent Store Keys are configuration settings that are used to configure and initiate the CSR BlueCore 6 device within NEMO. These PSKEYS are written using the BCCMD protocol to send commands to the CSR BlueCore devices. PSKEY are written using BCCMD write commands that are interpreted by the CSR device within NEMO. PSKEYS configure the CSR chips behavior from its interfaces to radio performance. Data such as Bluetooth address, product ID and country code is also stored in PSKEYS and are necessary information in some cases. Programming these various PSKEYS are vital to initializing NEMO upon cold boot. PSKEYS are address locations with specific values. The values are used for configuration of different systems of the NEMO.
