Cypress provides an application note (AN94919) that provides guidelines for designing an optimal antenna for the CYBLE-013030-00 module. It recommends a 15mm x 15mm PCB antenna or an external antenna with a 50-ohm impedance.
Cypress provides a Secure Boot and Firmware Update guide (AN228571) that explains how to implement secure boot and firmware updates using the CYBLE-013030-00 module. It involves using the Cypress WICED Studio IDE and the Cypress Secure Boot SDK.
The maximum transmit power of the CYBLE-013030-00 module is +5 dBm, which is programmable through the Cypress WICED Studio IDE.
Yes, the CYBLE-013030-00 module can be used with a non-Cypress microcontroller, but it would require additional development effort to integrate the module with the microcontroller. Cypress provides a HCI (Host Controller Interface) protocol that can be used to communicate with the module.
The operating temperature range of the CYBLE-013030-00 module is -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for industrial and commercial applications.
