Software

There is no special software needed for BlueRadios embedded products. Each device comes already installed with software (i.e., firmware) in non volatile Flash memory.

The BlueRadios RS-232 like modules provide a ready-engineered OEM product solution for a point-to-point Cable Replacement. By eliminating the need for a Bluetooth, Zigbee, or WiFi host microcontroller stack, external antenna, and running the cable replacement firmware directly on the baseband chip itself, cost is kept to a minimum.

BlueRadios embedded wireless Bluetooth data radio modem modules are available in the following embedded stack software configurations:

ASCII type radio modem commands sent through serial UART or RF communications to configure and change parameters
   – Master, Slave, or Idle configurable
   – Supports simultaneous voice and data transmissions
HCI UART and USB interface
BCSP - BlueCore Serial Port
Application specific embedded stacks
Point-to-point and Multi-point
BlueBridge® Repeater

Bluetooth Profiles
All BlueRadios modules support: SDP, SPP, DUN, LAP, GAP, RFCOMM, L2CAP, Headset, HFP, eSCO, SCO, Audio Gateway, FTP Client/Server, OBEX, OPP - Object Push/Pull.

High performance sound quality - features the latest Bluetooth 2.0 technology with EDR & eSCO for exceptional voice clarity.

AT Commands: Describes the protocol used by the Company to control and configured BlueRadios Serial Wireless Modules. The protocol is similar to the industry standard Hayes AT protocol used in telephone modems due to the fact that both types of devices are connection oriented. Appropriate AT commands have been provided to make the module perform the two core actions of a radio device, which is make/break connections and Inquiry. Additional AT commands are also provided to perform other functions.

*** Please Read ***

The Company's product configuration is made up of a basic model part number and firmware version. Both are required for follow on orders. Initial orders we provide our latest firmware version.

The Company has many versions of firmware and associated AT Command User Guides so before you request us to send you documentation please specify the exact firmware version. You can obtain the firmware version from the embedded modules by using a data terminal program like HyperTerminal to send the command atver,ver1<cr> over the UART at 9600 (8,N,1). If you are a new client of BlueRadios and have not yet purchased from us directly please just request the latest release version. This information is always good to have since placing follow on orders you will need to specify the firmware version.

Just like telephone modems, the serial module powers up into an unconnected state and will respond to inquiry and connection requests. Then, just like controlling a modem, the host or client can issue AT commands which map to various Bluetooth, ZigBee, and WiFi activities. The command set is extensive enough to allow a host to make connections which are authenticated and/or encrypted or have neither. The BlueRadios serial radio modems can be configured, commanded, and controlled through simple ASCII strings over the RF link or directly through the hardware serial UART, SPI, I2C, or USB interfaces.
