Overview

The Pinnacle™ 100 cellular modem seamlessly incorporates a powerful Cortex M4F controller, full Bluetooth 5 and LTE-M/NB-IoT capabilities – all with full regulatory certifications and LTE carrier approvals. The Pinnacle 100 also delivers complete antenna flexibility, with pre-integrated internal or external antenna options such as the Revie Flex family of LTE and NB-IoT internal antennas.

Develop your application directly on the M4F controller using Zephyr RTOS to cut BOM costs and power consumption. Take advantage of the Zephyr community, Ezurio’s sample code (cellular, Bluetooth) and hardware interfaces, or use our hosted mode AT commands set firmware.

Extremely power conscious, the Pinnacle 100 is ideal for battery-powered devices operating at the edge of your IoT networks, seamlessly bridging the cellular WAN to BLE. It’s never been easier to bridge wireless Bluetooth 5 sensor data to cloud services like AWS IoT over a low-power LTE connection.

More information about the board can be found at the Pinnacle 100 website_.

Programming and Debugging

.. zephyr:board-supported-runners::

Applications for the pinnacle_100_dvk board configuration can be built and flashed in the usual way. (see :ref:build_an_application and :ref:application_run for more details)

Flashing

Follow the instructions in the :ref:nordic_segger page to install and configure all the necessary software. Further information can be found in :ref:nordic_segger_flashing. Then build and flash applications as usual (see :ref:build_an_application and :ref:application_run for more details).

Here is an example for the :zephyr:code-sample:hello_world application.

First, run your favorite terminal program to listen for output.

.. note:: On the Pinnacle 100 development board, the FTDI USB should be used to access the UART console.

.. code-block:: console

$ minicom -D <tty_device> -b 115200

Replace :code:<tty_device> with the port where the board Pinnacle 100 DVK can be found. For example, under Linux, :code:/dev/ttyUSB0.

Then build and flash the application in the usual way.

.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world :board: pinnacle_100_dvk :goals: build flash

Debugging

Refer to the :ref:nordic_segger page to learn about debugging Nordic boards with a Segger IC.

Software

Canvas Software Suite

The Pinnacle 100 is a supported hardware platform for Canvas Software Suite_.

Sample Applications

Pinnacle 100 Sample Applications_ are available.

Testing Bluetooth on the Pinnacle 100 DVK

Many of the Bluetooth examples will work on the Pinnacle 100 DVK. Try them out:

  • :zephyr:code-sample:ble_peripheral
  • :zephyr:code-sample:bluetooth_eddystone
  • :zephyr:code-sample:bluetooth_ibeacon

Testing the LEDs and buttons in the Pinnacle 100 DVK

There are 2 samples that allow you to test that the buttons (switches) and LEDs on the board are working properly with Zephyr:

.. code-block:: console

samples/basic/blinky samples/basic/button

You can build and flash the examples to make sure Zephyr is running correctly on your board. The button and LED definitions can be found in :zephyr_file:boards/ezurio/pinnacle_100_dvk/pinnacle_100_dvk.dts.
