Ubertooth One - Open Source Wireless Development Platform

Ubertooth One

The Ubertooth project is an open source wireless development platform suitable for experimenting with Bluetooth. Ubertooth comes equipped with a capable BLE (Bluetooth Smart) sniffer and can capture some data from Bluetooth Classic Basic Rate (BR) connections.

⚠️ Customer Notice:

The Ubertooth One - Open Source Wireless Development Platform is delivered without preloaded software and without a bootloader.

To get it operational, firmware must be uploaded via ISP or JTAG, and complete software installation is required. This process requires advanced knowledge in embedded systems and microcontroller programming.

We recommend confirming that you have the necessary equipment and knowledge before purchasing this product.

Architecture

• RP-SMA RF connector: connects to test equipment, antenna, or dummy load.
• CC2591 RF front end.
• CC2400 Wireless transceiver.
• LPC175x ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller with full-speed USB 2.0.
• USB A connector: connects to the host computer running Kismet software or other host code.

Features

• Transmission and reception at 2.4 GHz.
• Transmit power and receiver sensitivity comparable to Bluetooth Class 1 devices.
• Standard Cortex Debug connector (10-pin 50-mil JTAG).
• In-system serial programming (ISP) connector.
• Expansion connector: designed for communication between Ubertooth devices or for other future uses.
• Six indicator LEDs.

Design

Ubertooth One was designed in KiCad, an open-source electronic design automation software suite, with surface-mounted components suitable for reflow soldering.

Pins and LEDs

This schematic shows the location of LEDs and the expansion connector pins.

LED Guide:

• RST: Indicates that the LPC175x is powered. This LED should always be lit during operation, except during a complete reset of the LPC175x (e.g., when entering ISP mode).
• 1V8: Indicates that the CC2400 is powered with 1.8 V. Control of this power depends on the firmware. The 1V8 power is essential for activating the crystal oscillator, which is necessary for USB activation.
• USB: Indicates that USB has passed enumeration and configuration.
• TX: Control of this LED depends on the firmware. Usually indicates radio transmission.
• RX: Control of this LED depends on the firmware. Usually indicates radio reception.
• USR: Control of this LED depends on the firmware.
• LEDs TX, RX, and USR blink in a characteristic sequential pattern when the bootloader is ready to accept USB DFU commands.
