RF5. 1 Series devices on our 3rd Party Module page if you dont want to spend time on the Radio design work and NRE costs to qualify a design for Bluetooth Smart and teleregulatory authorities FCC, ETESI, MIC, TELEC. SOFTWAREBy using n. RF5. 1 Series devices you get free access to pre qualified Bluetooth Smart as well as ANT protocol stacks for use in your applications along with extensive libraries and application examples. The software are split in two major parts Soft. Devices containing wireless protocol stacks and the n. RF5. 1 Software Development Kit SDK forming a common application code base for all n. RF5. 1 devices. Soft. Devices. A Soft. Device is precompiled and linked binary software, implementing a wireless protocol. While it is software, you as an application developer have minimal compile time dependence on its features. The unique hardware and software support framework, in which it executes, provides run time isolation and determinism in its behavior. These characteristics make the interface comparable to a hardware peripheral abstraction with a functional, programmatic interface. The Soft. Device Application Program Interface API is available to applications as a high level programming language interface, for example, a C header file. Please find documentation as well as all available Softdevices, for free download, on the download tab of this page. RF5. 1 SDKThe n. RF5. Software Development Kit SDK is your starting point for software development on the n. RF5. 1 Series. It contains source code libraries and example applications covering Wireless as well as application examples. Bluetooth Smart and ANT profiles. Nordics 2. 4. GHz proprietary stack Gazell. Libraries for all n. RF5. 1 peripherals. Bootloaders. Wired as well as Over the Air OTA FW upgrades. Selected RTOS examples. Serialization libraries of Nordic Soft. Devices The n. RF5. SDK is built on the ARM CMSIS standard and supports the following SW development tool chains n. RF5. 1 SDK is available on the download tab of this page. Tools. In order to aid your product development with programming and testdebug, Nordic also offers a range of tools enabling you to interact with and monitor prototypeproduct Tools. Description. n. RFgo Studio. PC tool allowing device programming and Radio performance tests on n. RF5. 1. Master Control Panel. An peer device emulator that allows you to connect to, monitor and interact directly with the bluetooth services in your product. This is a great tool to check if your product identifies itself and its capabilities the correct way as well as testing how it responds to correct as well as incorrect actions in the peer device. MCP is an application for Windows PCs using the n. RF5. 1 Dongle. n. RF Master Control Panel. A powerful generic tool that allows you to scan and explore your Bluetooth Smart devices and communicate with them. RF MCP is an application on Android. ANTware. A peer device emulator for the ANT protocol running on PCs with the n. RF5. 1 Dongle. This is a great tool to check if your product identifies itself and its capabilities the correct way as well as how it responds to correct as well as incorrect actions in the peer device. RF Sniffer. If the communication with a 3 party Bluetooth Smart Ready peer doesnt work as intended, the n. RF Sniffer enables you to monitor all the on air traffic between you and the peer through link establishment, security negotiations to exchange of data. Often the only way to find where communication breaks down, and logs from this tool will often be the first thing our support engineers will ask for if you enter a support caserequest on My. Page regarding communication problems. RF5. 1 BLE Driver. Windows dll linking the MCP with the n. RF5. 1 Dongle. Presents an API similar to our Soft. Devices for a PC application, making it ideal to make your own PC based test and demo tools. RFjprog part of n. RF5. 1 toolset installer. Command line utility enabling programming of n. RF5. 1 devices through Jlink programmersdebuggers. Mergehex part of n. RF5. 1 toolset installer. Since the Nordic Soft. Devices comes as precompiled hex files, when adding your own application, you will have at least 2 hex files to program into an n. RF5. 1 in your production line. Some industrial programmers cant handle this and mergehex is a command line utility enabling you to combine multiple hex files into one for these programmers. Jlink. ARM part of n. RF5. 1 toolset installer. Driver for jlink debuggers. Please find these tools on the download tab of this page. Mobile Apps. Your products are of course likely to communicate with a mobile device or computer, indeed that may be the sole purpose of it.
