1. Introduction
This article will introduce how to use resources such as INGCHIPS homepage, Wiki, GitHub and Lark, etc. select chips, set up software and hardware development environments, develop products and eventually get through the certification, achieve mass production.
2. Chips Selection
The part numbers and related information of INGCHIPS chips can be get from INGCHIPS homepage.
ING918X series SoC that support Bluetooth 5.0 and 5.1, with more advanced technology, are mainly used in automotive and industrial scenarios such as Automotive, Power grid, Medical, Indoor Positioning, etc.
ING916X series SoC that support BLE5.3 and BLE5.4, integrated more powerful CPU core, more peripherals such as USB2.0, and these products greatly expand the INGCHIPS applications, such as HID, Mesh, ESL, AR/VR, etc.
The specific information of every part number can be obtained by the part number links on the homepage.
The datasheet and development materials for each part number can also be downloaded at the bottom of its page.
3. Prepare Hardware Development Environment
It is recommended to use the INGCHIPS' evaluation boards in the early stage of the development. Typical chips have corresponding evaluation boards. Please contact INGCHIPS's sales for support or purchase.
Please refer to "ING916X Evaluation Boards User Guide" (which can be downloaded from the Document Centre of the INGCHIPS homepage) for development of ING916X serial SoC.
Please refer to "ING918X Evaluation Boards User Guide" (which can be downloaded from the Document Centre of the INGCHIPS homepage) for development of ING918X serial SoC.
4. Prepare Software Development Environment
It is required to prepare SDK and IDE for software development.
4.1 SDK
INGCHIPS provides a SDK for BLE development, which integrates a large number of demos and practical tools. Common tools for BLE chip development can be found, such as:
- Downloader;
- Test tool for BQB;
- Cube: peripheral configuration tool;
- Broadcast and GATT data configuration tools, etc;
SDK can be downloaded from INGCHIPS homepage.
4.2 IDE
INGCHIPS supports development environments such as Keil, IAR, GCC, etc. At present, Keil has the best support and the most abundant examples. It is recommended that developers prioritize developing in the Keil environment.
Keil can be installed in the usual way.
Note: the IDE needs to be installed first, followed by the SDK installation.
Developers need to choose IDE to use during the SDK installation process. If Keil or IAR is selected, developers need to continue selecting the installation path for Keil/IAR, so that the chip pack package will be automatically installed for Keil/IAR during the SDK installation process.
5. Product Development
Developers can develop their own product after the environment verification by using the evaluation board and the examples on the SDK.
Please refer to the corresponding EVB SCH and PCB ( which can be downloaded from Evaluation Board interface of the INGCHIPS homepage) for hardware design. Also, please refer to the hardware design documents during the design process.
In the software development process, in addition to the demo, developers can also understand the characteristics and usage methods of INGCHIPS's self-developed protocol stack by reading the corresponding documents, such as:
- "INGCHIPS SDK User Guide" 、"低功耗蓝牙开发者手册": Introduce the architecture, tutorial, and usage of the protocol stack.
- Programmer’s Guide - Power Saving: Introduce low-power architecture and usage methods.
- INGCHIPS SDK User Guide: Introduce the development methods of chip peripherals.
If the product requires certifications such as BQB/SRRC/FCC or self testing for RF performance, INGCHIPS provides corresponding testing methods. Please refer to the "RF Testing Guide" (which can be downloaded from the Document Centre ).
7. Mass Production Instructions
Please refer to "MP Instructions" , "MP with UART or USB", "MP with the MP kit", "MP with SWD" and "Customer IP protection" (which can be downloaded from the Document Centre)
