DVK-2 Quick Start Guide
DVK−2 Introduction
DVK−2 Base−kit
The DVK−2 is designed as quick start solution for the development
of applications with AX micro−controllers and radio−chips. The
DVK−2 base−kit is the development platform for applications based
on the AX8052F1xx micro−controller family. With the available radio
add−on−kits it becomes the ideal platform for radio performance
evaluation and radio system development. The DVK−2 is compatible
with AX−RadioLab and AxCode::Blocks development software for
the PC.

The DVK−2 base−kit comes with:
2x mainboards with radio−module connectors for
one radio add−on−kit module, AX8052F100 20 MIPS
ultra−low−power micro−controller, LCD display, 4
buttons, 4 LEDs, AX debug connector and battery
connector for 3 AA batteries
1x AXDBG debug adaptor
1x Mini USB cable
1x Debug cable
DVK−2 Add−on−kits
For evaluation of AX radio ICs, a variety of add−on−kits
are available. A radio add−on−kit consists of a pair of radio
add−on modules and antennas. Pictured below is an example
of a DVK−2 add−on module. Each add−on kit contains two
modules.

The following radio add−on kits are available:
AX5043−868 add−on kit (ADD5043−868−x−GEVK)
AX5043−433 add−on kit (ADD5043−433−x−GEVK)
AX5043−169 add−on kit (ADD5043−169−x−GEVK)
AX5243−868 add−on kit (ADD5243−868−x−GEVK)
AX5051−868 add−on kit (ADD5051−868−x−GEVK)
Upon receiving the DVK−2, the add−on modules and
batteries can be connected to immediately run the
pre−installed packet error rate (PER) test. (See sections
“Batteries and Add−on Modules” and “Pre−installed PER
Test”).
To begin configuration of the radio and application
development, the following steps should be completed in
order:
1. Download and install the required software for the
desired combination of main board and add−on
modules. (See sections “Software” till
“Configuration of AxCode::Blocks”)
2. Configure AXCode::Blocks to use the SDCC
compiler (See section “Configuration of
AxCode::Blocks”)
3. Insert the add−on modules to the mainboard, and
connect the AX debug adapter as shown in the
image below. Connect the AX debug adapter to the
PC. (See section “Connecting the DVK−2 to a
PC”)
4. Launch AX−RadioLab or AXCode::Blocks to
begin radio configuration, testing or application
development

Main Board Overview
A DVK−2 mainboard is the core of the DVK−2
development system. It uses an AX8052F100 as a versatile
ultra−low−power micro−controller. The mainboard is
designed to evaluate AX radio ICs as well as being a
platform for code development and testing.

The DVK−2 mainboard is equipped with the following
components:
1. LCD display with 2 lines of 16 characters each
2. 4 power−supply jumpers:
a. Power for the LCD−display backlight
b. Power of the radio add−on module
c. Auxiliary power of the radio add−on module
(TCXO, module recognition)
d. Power for the AX8052F100 micro−controller
on the mainboard
3. Power supply switch (select between debug link
powered and battery powered operation)
4. AX debug link connector
5. Power indicator LED
6. 4 buttons

AXDBG Debug Adapter Overview
The AXDBG debug adapter is the interface between the
PC and the mainboards. It can be used for programming and
debugging the AX8052F1xx family of micro−controllers. It
interfaces with the PC via windows drivers and the AXSDB
software interface, which is then used by other AX software
products. The AXSDB can also be used in mass production
with the scriptable AXSDB software.

Batteries and Add−on Modules
board. The power switch toggles between battery powered
and debug−link powered operation. There is no OFF
position if batteries are inserted and the debug−link is
connected.
Add−on Modules
One radio add−on module can be connected to the main
board. The DVK−2 add−on modules have to be connected
to the main board with the SMA connector facing outside.
NOTE: There is no safeguard for polarity or wrong
insertion of add−on modules.
Batteries
Three AA batteries can be inserted on the bottom side of
the DVK−2 mainboard. The orientation is indicated on the

Antennas
Software
Different types of antennas can be used with the AX radio
add−on modules. In addition to the antenna that ships with
the kit, any 50
W
antenna designed for a frequency matching
the radio add−on module and being equipped with a male
SMA connector can be used.

Depending on your application and add−on−kit you need
to use different ON Semiconductor AX software.
