Texas Instruments has launched its latest Bluetooth low energy application software, the BLE-Stack 1.2, based on the Bluetooth v4.0 release.
The BLE-Stack 1.2 is designed to further drive Bluetooth Smart and Smart Ready devices such as wearables – a market experiencing large growth as manufacturers take advantage of the increased numbers of Bluetooth v4.0-enabled smartphones and tablets.
Additionally, the latest stack includes support for 14 profiles with associated sample applications for fast development of Bluetooth low energy-compliant sensor devices. TI’s BLE-Stack 1.2 is available royalty-free to all using the company’s CC254x Bluetooth low energy system-on-chip (SoC) solutions.
To better serve the growing Bluetooth low energy wearables market, TI’s BLE-Stack 1.2 has an advanced master-slave switch feature, increased stack configurability and further power optimisation, which enable the design of low-power, single-chip-based products with Bluetooth Smart capabilities.
The stack’s new master-slave feature enables a CC254x to support both master and slave modes at different times by allowing an application to easily switch between the two modes.
For example, a Bluetooth Smart sports watch (peripheral) built with a CC254x can be connected to a Bluetooth Smart Ready smartphone (central device). The same sports watch can then switch to central device mode to obtain data from other peripheral devices, such as a heart rate monitor and a blood pressure sensor.
