Silicon Labs Bluetooth: What is the minimum circuit configuration using the BGM111? (What are the minimum required pins?)

EFx32

Operating the BGM111 in standalone mode eliminates the need for a UART for communication with the host system, requiring minimal configuration. All you need is the power and ground needed to power the module, as well as the SW and reset pins needed for programming.
When used in NCPmode, a UART must be used for communication with the host system.

pin name function
VCC +3.3V power supply (*2)
GND ground
PF0 programming pin (SWCLK)
PF1 Programming pin (SWDIO)
RESET module reset
PA0 UART TX (*1)
PA1 UART RX (*1)
PA2 UART RTS (*1)
PA3 UART CTS (*1)

*1: Option when using in NCP mode. Enabled when shipped. (See: What are the factory settings for BGM111?)
*2: Please refer to the datasheet for rated values.
