mode is without flashing).
• LED2 flashes once after TR reset induced by IQRF IDE or
pushbutton SW2.
• LED1 flashes 3x after the Indicate USB Device command (key
F11) in respective IQRF IDE (to identify the kit in case of multiple
IQRF USB devices or IDE instances).
• Complementary LED1 and LED2 flashing in ~1 s period means
missing firmware (see Firmware upgrade below).
• While a pushbutton is pressed the appropriate LED is on.
Connectors
• USB: Micro USB
• SIM: Supported TR types see table Compatibility below.
• XC1: I/O / SPI / programming / power interface. Female connector

Caution: The TR module can be plugged / unplugged into / from the SIM connector while powered off only.
Tip: Use the SW2 pushbutton for this. The TR module is not powered while the SW2 pushbutton is held.

USB
The device supports two USB modes:
• Custom Device mode
Full communication with the IQRF IDE is enabled in this mode.
•
CDC mode
After connecting to PC a virtual serial port is created in this mode. The user can create his own PC program and
communicate via this port using the protocol described in document CDC implementation in IQRF platform.
Switching between the modes:
• Using IQRF IDE 4:
•
•
•
From Custom Device to CDC:
From CDC to Custom Device:
Tools → USB Classes → Switch to CDC mode.
Tools → USB Classes → Switch to Custom Device mode.
Using the Switch to USB Custom Class command in CDC protocol.
Current mode indication see chapter LED. The last selected mode is restored after start-up or reset.
Tip
For testing a communication in CDC mode various SW terminals operating with PC serial ports are available. Select
a terminal enabling to issue direct byte commands and data. Refer to the communication protocol described in CDC
Implementation in IQRF USB devices User's guide.
Recommended terminal: Docklight, www.docklight.de. There is a project containing all supported commands for
this terminal available at www.iqrf.org/218. It is necessary just to select the COM port used.
Unsuitable terminal: Windows Hyperterminal and Tera Term.

Application
Installing
See the IQRF Quick Start guide, IQRF IDE Help and IQRF application examples (www.iqrf.org/examples).
Upload
CK-USB-04A enables to upload an application code into IQRF TR modules in following ways:
• Wired upload
• TR module plugged in the SIM connector – see the IQRF Quick Start guide.
• TR module assembled in user equipment (in-circuit upload via connector XC1), see below.
• Wireless upload (RFPGM – RF Programming ™) – see IQRF OS User's guide (Appendix RFPGM) and IQRF IDE
(Programming → RF programmer).
Supported TR types see table Compatibility below.
TR plugged in a programmer
TR soldered in user equipment
TRs placed even in final locations
In-circuit upload
CK-USB-04A enables to upload an application code also into IQRF TR modules assembled in end user equipment.
This allows to manufacture boards with soldered unprogrammed TRs and then upload the code just before shipping
the product (to deliver the most recent SW version or a custom modification) or even upgrade the code with a new
SW version later on.
6-wire programming interface (GND, power supply line and 4-wire SPI) is accessible on the XC1 connector. Pin

SPI lines must be isolated from other circuitry to avoid influencing on levels by the user equipment. Isolation devices
are highly dependent on the specific application and may include devices such as resistors, diodes, or even jumpers.
High impedance output can also be considered as a suitable isolation.
There are two typical ways of connection regarding power supply. The following diagrams show examples for TR56D. For other TR types refer to table Pin compatibility above.
1. Application supplied from the programmer during upload
User applications with 3.3 V supply voltage, consuming 100 mA max. can be supplied from the programmer. Target
equipment must have its own power source turned off during upload.
2. Application supplied from its own power source during upload
For user equipment consuming more than 100 mA just the TR module must be supplied from the programmer. Thus,
independent power source supplying the rest of the equipment must be separated during upload.
Interconnection between CK-USB-04A and TR module
No interconnection cable between the adapter (via connector XC1) and user application is provided. The user should
create a connection according to specific application. Max. 10 cm cable length is allowed.
For TR modules with RJ-45 connector, e.g. TR-58D-RJ, special interconnecting kit KON-RJ-01 is intended.
Programming adapter KON-TR-01P intended for in-circuit upload using CK-USB-04 can also be used with CK-USB-04A.

Frequently asked questions

The CK-USB-04A is a development kit intended for programming and debugging of user applications with IQRF transceiver modules. It can also serve as an IQRF USB gateway or just a simple host for TR module application.

The CK-USB-04A supports several TR modules, including TR-52D, TR-54D, TR-55D, TR-56D, TR-52B, TR-53B, and TR-58D-RJ. See the table "Compatibility" in the document for more details.

You can upload application code to IQRF TR modules using the CK-USB-04A in several ways. You can use a wired upload, where you plug the TR module into the SIM connector, or you can use an in-circuit upload via the XC1 connector. You can also use wireless upload (RFPGM) for modules that support this feature.

The CK-USB-04A can be used to debug your applications by using the IQRF IDE and looking at the E06-RAM application example provided on the IQRF website.

You can upgrade the firmware of the CK-USB-04A using the IQRF IDE 4.14 or higher. In the IDE, go to the "USB Device" menu, select "USB Device Manager", and then choose "Update FW".

The recommended cables and accessories for the CK-USB-04A are a standard microUSB communication cable (CAB-USBABMICRO) and an interconnecting kit for uploading TR modules with an RJ-45 connector (KON-RJ-01).
