450-00121-K1 Development Kit

The Canvas Firmware runs on Zephyr RTOS which natively provides a bunch of useful subsystem for development purposes. One of those is a command line interface which allows - for devices product that supports its firmware - convenient device management features like configuration, monitoring or quick access to debugging tools.

The command line interface is usually accessible via UART. Access to the sensor debug UART on the BT610 is facilitated by a 6 pin header, J1, with pinout as follows :

To access J1 port directly from your PC, we'd suggest to use a UART to USB kind of cable.

Once you get connected to it, you'll have access to a similar menu via whatever terminal software that supports serial communication :

Canvas Gateway&Sensor firmware is a mature and fully supported platform by Ezurio (formerly Laird Connectivity). Even if you don't intend to use any Device Management features, we would suggest to use the Canvas Firmware as the starting point of your development as it contains few telemetry capabilities (MQTT and BLE Ads) allowing easy deployment and management of compatible wireless sensor networks with a few simple configuration steps. Products compatible with Canvas Firmware are BT610, Pinnacle 100 and MG100. 

You'll find BT610 Pressure, Thermistor and Ultrasonic Sensors documentation attached to this FAQ.
