Texas Instruments has launched 10 Bluetooth low energy technology (Bluetooth v4.0) profiles with associated sample applications to boost market development of Bluetooth low energy-compliant sensor devices. The Bluetooth low energy application software is a part of TI’s BLE-Stack, and is available royalty-free to all using TI’s CC2540 Bluetooth low energy system-on-chip (SoC).
TI’s BLE-Stack is available today at www.ti.com/ble-pr-eu, and a corresponding CC2540DK-MINI development kit is also available, as well as the enhanced CC2540DK, which provides a flexible platform for software development, extensive RF performance assessment and packet-sniffing testing.
TI has achieved Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) certification for find-me, health thermometer, heart rate and proximity profiles. The updated BLE-Stack also includes support for to-be-adopted profiles such as blood pressure sensor, remote control (soft command), watch (time/network availability), emulated keyboard/dongle (HID), and time and alert notification profiles.
The updated BLE-Stack also adds support for Bluetooth low energy central and peripheral configurations. When set to the central configuration, the CC2540 SoC can support up to three simultaneous connections. For example, an end user can run a heart rate monitor, blood pressure sensor and health thermometer – all connected to one central health device.
