5.5 Debug & Programming 
The BMD-SRA-1 supports the two pin Serial Wire Debug (SWD) interface and offers flexible and powerful 
mechanism for non-intrusive debugging of program code. Breakpoints, single stepping, and instruction trace 
capture of code execution flow are part of this support. 
The BMD-SRA-1 also supports ETM and ITM trace. Trace data from the ETM and the ITM is sent to an external 
debugger via a 4-bit wide parallel trace port. In addition to parallel trace, the TPIU supports serial trace via the 
Serial Wire Output (SWO) trace protocol. 
5.6 Clocks 
The BMD-SRA-1 utilizes two internal clock sources that are required for BLE operation.  
The high frequency clock is provided on-module by a high-accuracy 32-MHz crystal as required by the 
nRF52832 for radio operation. 
The low frequency clock is be provided internally by an RC oscillator or synthesized from the fast clock. Using 
the internal RC oscillator with calibration provides acceptable performance for BLE. Note: the ANT protocol 
requires the use of an external crystal.

6.2 MAC Address Info 
The BMD-SRA-1 modules comes preprogrammed with a unique MAC address from the factory.  The MAC 
address is also printed on a 2D barcode on the top of the module.  
The 6-byte BLE Radio MAC address is stored in the nRF52832 UICR at NRF_UICR_BASE+0x80 LSB first.  Please 
read the MAC Address Provisioning application note to avoid erasing/overwriting the MAC address during 
programming.

9.5 CE Regulatory: 
The BMD-SRA-1 modules are tested and compliant against the following standards. OEM integrators should 
consult with qualified test house to verify all regulatory requirements have been met for their complete 
device.  
From Directive 2006/95/EC: 
 EN 60950-1: 2006 + A11: 2009 + A1: 2010 + A12: 2011 
From R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC: 
 ETSI EN 300 328 V 1.9.1 
From Directive 2004/108/EC: 
 ETSI EN 301 489-1 V1.9.2 
 ETSI EN 301 489-17 V2.2.1 
Declarations of Conformity and supporting test reports are available at www.rigado.com. 
9.6 Japan (MIC) 
The BMD-SRA-1 modules have received type certification and is labeled with its own technical conformity 
mark and certification number as required to conform to the technical standards regulated by the Ministry of 
Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) of Japan pursuant to the Radio Act of Japan.  Integration of this 
module into a final end product does not require additional radio certification provided installation 
instructions are followed and no modifications of the module are allowed. Additional testing may be required: 
• If the host product is subject to electrical appliance safety (for example, powered from an AC mains), 
the host product may require Product Safety Electrical Appliance and Material (PSE) testing. The 
integrator should contact their conformance laboratory to determine if this testing is required. 
• There is a voluntary Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) test for the host product administered by 
VCCI: http://www.vcci.jp/vcci_e/index.html 
Note: Japan Certifications for the BMD-SRA-1 are pending. 
The label on the final end product which contains a BMD-SRA-1 module must follow the MIC marking 
requirements.  Labeling requirements for Japan available at the Ministry of Internal Affairs and 
Communications (MIC) website: http://www.tele.soumu.go.jp/e/index.htm. 
The BMD-SRA-1 module is labeled with its assigned technical conformity mark and certification number. The 
final end product in which this module is being used must have an external label referring to the type certified 
module inside:  
Contains transmitter module with certificate number: 
TBD 
9.7 Australia / New Zealand 
The BMD-SRA-1 modules have been tested to comply with the AS/NZS 4268 :2012+AMDT 1:2013, Radio 
equipment and systems – Short range devices – Limits and methods of measurement.  The report may be 
downloaded from www.rigado.com, and may be used as evidence in obtaining permission to use the RCM. 
Information on registration as a Responsible Party, license and labeling requirements may be found at the 
following websites: 
Australia:  http://www.acma.gov.au/theACMA/radiocommunications-short-range-devices-standard-2004   
New Zealand:  http://www.rsm.govt.nz/compliance  
The A-Tick and C-Tick marks are being migrated to the Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM).  Only Australian-
based and New Zealand-based companies who are registered may be granted permission to use the RCM.  An 
Australian-based or New Zealand-based agent or importer may also register as a Responsible Party to use the 
RCM on behalf of a company not in Australia or New Zealand.
