1. Board overview
The EB-RE01B board provides an environment for the evaluation of the RE01B
microcomputer including it’s energy harvest control function with Ultra-low current
consumption operation and also allows for the evaluation of the on-chip Bluetooth Low
Energy（BLE）function.
1.1. purpose
The EB-RE01B board is an evaluation board for RE01B MCU operating at ultra-low supply
current. It provides for the evaluation if the Energy harvest control function, Bluetooth
Low Energy (BLE) evaluation, current consumption measurement, and allows for the
development of user software.
1.2. Included items
The contents of this evaluation board is shown in Table 1-1. Debuggers (e.g. E2, J-link)
used in software development, energy harvesting elements (such as solar panels) and
secondary batteries or super capacitors used as power storage elements for evaluating
energy harvest solutions are not included.
