This DA14580 development kit pro is ideal for software developers who want total control over their software development and want to keep an eye on the power consumption of their application. The Pro kit consists of a starter kit and a daughterboard kit.
The starter kit contains the motherboard that can be combined with one of several daughterboards depending on the targeted DA14580 package (WL-CSP34, QFN40 or QFN48) and gives you access to all of the package’s GPIOs. The kit’s on-board SEGGER chip gives you complete debugging capability while dedicated on-board circuitry allows you, in combination with our complete software environment SmartSnippets™, to profile and fine tune the power consumption of your application.

Programming the DA14580
Posted bythetechguy0 points 1 replyHi! I'm working on an independent project in which I need to design a VERY SIMPLE Communication system. I'm interested in using the DA14580 for my project due to its small size. However, I have some questions for you about this module because I am still very new to doing my own RF projects.
1. I have seen that it is possible to program and power the DA14580 via the Development Kit. I'm sure there's a way to power the DA14580 alone, but is there a way I can flash a program onto the module, then use the module alone (off of a Dev Board) afterwards? This is (obviously) the best way to take advantage of the DA14580's size.
2. Do you have any resources that could give me some more info. about the transmitting and receiving gain of the antenna on this module? I need to calculate how much output RF power would be enough to penetrate one or two walls/floors of a house.
Thanks!

Hi thetechguy,
1) The development kit is produced for programming the DA14580 (daughterboard). For the implementation of another purpose you can build your own PCB based on what you want to do.
2) In the case of a PCB antenna the transmitting and receiving gain is determined by the manufacturer (datasheet), in other case you have to take new measurements from your antenna. Please check the AN-B-027 from application note section at documents tab.
