Bluetooth kits for Rabbit core modules

20 April 2005 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Rabbit Semiconductor has added Bluetooth support for selected core modules. Based on the EmbeddedBlue eb506 AHC IN Bluetooth Radio Module from A7 Engineering, Bluetooth capability is available in a complete application kit or as an add-on kit.

All components of the Bluetooth stack are implemented on-board so additional host processor code is not required. Once a connection to another Bluetooth device has been established, the link has the appearance of a cabled serial connection eliminating the need for special wireless protocol knowledge. UART communication facilitates the interface between the host processor and the radio module. This UART interface may be used to discover, connect, and communicate with other Bluetooth devices. An LED indicator for connection status is provided as a standard feature. The Bluetooth radio modules plug directly into supported Rabbit Modules and SBCs.

Bluetooth Add-On Kits include the EmbeddedBlue eb506 AHC IN Bluetooth Radio Module, Bluetooth Drivers, sample programs, and radio module manual.

The Bluetooth Application Kit provides all of the hardware and software necessary to develop a Bluetooth application. The Application Kit includes an RCM3100, EmbeddedBlue eb506 AHC IN Bluetooth Radio Module, prototyping board, and miscellaneous cables and hardware. The Application Kit also includes the Dynamic C Integrated Development Environment, Bluetooth drivers, libraries, sample programs, and manuals.
