Introduction

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is an ultra-low-power
wireless standard defined by the Bluetooth Special
Interest Group (SIG) for low-power, short-range
communication. It features a physical layer, protocol stack,
and profile architecture, all designed and optimized for the
lowest power consumption. BLE operates in the 2.4-GHz
ISM band, with a data rate of 1 Mbps.

BLE is used in a wide range of applications. The use of
BLE in these applications also varies widely in production
volume, from very low- to high-volume end products. As
such, fully qualified, certified, BLE modules have fast
become the design preference. The use of modules
removes time consuming and costly
qualification/certification processes.

The Cypress EZ-BLE PRoC Module is a fully integrated,
qualified and certified, programmable system that
integrates 32-kHz and 24-MHz crystal oscillators, passive
components, on-board chip antenna, and Cypress‘s
PRoC™ BLE chip (BLE radio, programmable analog and
digital peripherals, memory, and an ARM® Cortex®-M0
microcontroller) on a small 10 mm × 10 mm × 1.8 mm
module.

The EZ-BLE PRoC Module enables a quick time-to-market
and eliminates costly certification and qualification
processes, offering an effective alternative to completing a
BLE system design from ground up. In addition to
reducing the cycle time, certification and qualification
expenses, the programmable peripherals and GPIOs allow
great flexibility using PSoC Creator IDE, the schematic­based design tool for designing applications with EZ-BLE
PRoC Module, and a speedy time to market.

The BLE stack library is integrated with PSoC Creator and
is free-of-cost. It can be easily configured using a simple
graphical user interface, allowing you to jumpstart your
BLE design in minutes.

The EZ-BLE PRoC Module offers a best-in-class current
consumption of 150 nA while retaining the SRAM contents
and the ability to wake up from an interrupt. The EZ-BLE
PRoC Module consumes only 60 nA while maintaining the
wakeup capability in its nonretention power mode. The
capacitive touch-sensing feature in the EZ-BLE Module,
known as CapSense®, offers an unprecedented signal-to­noise ratio, best-in-class waterproofing, and a wide variety
of sensor types such as buttons, sliders, and proximity
sensors that are gaining increased popularity in wearable
electronic devices such as activity monitors, health, and
fitness equipment.

Low Power Modes

EZ-BLE PRoC Module supports the following five power modes as illustrated in Figure 4:

Active mode: This is the primary mode of operation. In this mode, all peripherals are available.



Sleep mode: In this mode, the CPU is in sleep mode, SRAM is in retention, and all the peripherals are available. Any



interrupt wakes up the CPU and returns the system to Active mode.
Deep-Sleep mode: In this mode, the high-frequency clock (IMO) and all high-speed peripherals are off. The WDT, LCD,



I2C/SPI, link layer, and low-frequency clock (32-kHz ILO) are available. Interrupts from GPIO, WDT, or SCBs can cause a
wakeup. The current consumption in this mode is 1.3 µA for all PRoC BLE devices in the family.

Hibernate mode: This power mode provides a best-in-class current consumption of 150 nA while retaining SRAM,



programmable logic, and the ability to wake up from an interrupt generated by a GPIO.
Stop mode: This power mode retains the GPIO states. Wakeup is possible by using the external reset (XRES) pin on the



module. The current consumption in this mode is only 60 nA.

Bluetooth Low Energy Overview

The Bluetooth SIG defines Bluetooth 4.1, also known as Bluetooth Smart or Bluetooth Low Energy as the lowest-power
wireless standard operating in the 2.4-GHz ISM band. Figure 6 summarizes the BLE protocol stack architecture.

The following sections briefly describe the BLE stack layers. For a detailed architecture description, see the Bluetooth 4.1
specification or the training videos on the Bluetooth Developer website. If you are familiar with the Bluetooth BLE stack, you
can skip these sections. Figure 10 shows the system design for a heart rate monitoring application.

Figure 6. BLE Architecture

Physical Layer (PHY)

The physical layer transmits or receives the digital data at
1 Mbps using GFSK modulation in the 2.4-GHz ISM band.
The BLE physical layer divides the ISM band into 40 RF
channels with a channel spacing of 2 MHz, 37 of which
are data channels and 3 are advertisement channels.

Link Layer (LL)

The link layer implements various key functionalities that
make the BLE protocol robust and low-power. Some of
these are the following:

Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) to provide RF



interference immunity
24-bit CRC and AES-128-bit encryption for robust and



secure data exchange
Advertising, scanning, creating and maintaining



connections to establish a physical link
Establishing fast connections and low duty cycle



advertising for low-power operation

Host Control Interface (HCI)

HCI is the interface between the host and the controller.
This layer allows the host and the controller to exchange
information such as command, data, and events over
different transports.

Logical Link Control and Adaptation
Protocol (L2CAP)

L2CAP provides protocol multiplexing, segmentation, and
reassembly services to upper-layer protocols.
Segmentation and reassembly breaks the packet received
from the upper layer into smaller packets that the link layer
can transmit, and vice versa. The Bluetooth Low Energy
L2CAP layer supports three protocol channel IDs for ATT,
SM and L2CAP control. Bluetooth 4.1 allows direct data
channels through L2CAP (connection-oriented channels)
on top of these protocol channels.

Security Manager (SM)

The SM layer defines the methods used for key
distribution to perform encryption and pairing.

Pairing is the process to enable security features. In



this process, two devices are authenticated, the link is
encrypted, and then keys are exchanged.

Bonding is the process in which the keys and identity



information exchanged during the pairing process are
saved within the paired devices. Bonded devices do
not have to go through the pairing process again
when reconnected.

Attribute Protocol (ATT)

ATT forms the basis of the BLE communication. This
protocol enables the client to find and access attributes on
the server. An attribute is the fundamental data-carrying
element in BLE, which consists of the following:

Attribute Handle: This is the 16-bit address assigned



by the attribute server to allow its client to identify and
access an attribute.

Attribute Type: This specifies the type of data stored



in an attribute. It is represented by a 128-bit number
called a universally unique identifier (UUID).

Bluetooth SIG defines the Bluetooth Base UUID,
which is 128 bits long. In this base UUID, typically 16
bits (32 bits for Bluetooth 4.1) are used to identify an
attribute type.

The Bluetooth Base UUID is:
0x0000xxxx-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB
The 16-bit UUID of the Heart Rate Service (HRS) is

0x180D, so the complete 128-bit UUID for the HRS is
0x0000180D-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB

Attribute Value: This is the actual data stored in the



attribute.

Several types of attributes are defined by Bluetooth SIG;
some of which are as follows:

Service: The service attribute defines the function



performed by the server. It is a collection of data
entities called ―characteristics‖ and can also include
other services.

A service can be of two types: primary service or
secondary service. A primary service exposes the
main functionality of the device while the secondary
service provides additional functionality that a primary
service encapsulates, but that is not required to be
exposed. In a heart rate monitoring device example,
HRS is a primary service and Battery Service (BAS) is
a secondary service.

Characteristic: The characteristic attribute exposes



the data, and consists of an attribute that holds the
value and a descriptor. ―Battery level‖ is an example
of a characteristic.

Descriptor: The descriptor is a part of the



characteristic declaration, and provides additional
information about the characteristic. Representing the
battery level in percentage values is an example of
characteristic descriptor.

Figure 8 shows the structure of a characteristic.

Figure 8. Characteristic Format and Example

Attribute Permission: This specifies whether an



attribute can be read or written, and the security level
required. Attribute permission is set by the higher
layer specification and is not discoverable through the
attribute protocol.

Figure 7 shows the structure of an attribute with an

example.

Figure 7. Attribute Format and Example

www.cypress.com Document No.: 001-96841 Rev. ** 9

Attribute Operations: These are accessed using the



following five basic methods:

Read Request: Sent by the client to read an



attribute value. For every request, the server
sends a response to the client.

Write Request: Sent by the client to write an



attribute value. The sever responds to the client
confirming whether the value is written.

Write Command: Sent by the client to the server



to write an attribute value. The server does not
send any response for the write command.

Notification: Sent by the server to the client to



notify a new value or a change in value. The client
does not send any response for a notification
command.

Indication: A type of notification from the server



that is always confirmed by the client.

Figure 10 shows the services and characteristics

implemented in the peripheral.

Generic Attribute Profile (GATT)

GATT defines the ways in which the attributes can be
found and used. GATT operates in one of two roles:

GATT client: The device that requests the data.



GATT server: The device that provides the data.



Figure 9 shows the client-server architecture in the GATT

layer.

Figure 9. Client-Server Architectures

Figure 10 shows an example in which a smartphone is

configured as the GATT client (wants data) and a heart
rate sensor that is configured as the GATT server (has
data).

Generic Access Profile (GAP)

The GAP layer provides the device-specific information:
device address, device name, and how it can be
discovered and connected.

Profile: This specification defines how devices connect to
each other to find and use services. It describes the type
of application and general expected behavior of that
device. Figure 10 shows an example of a Heart rate
monitor Profile.

The GAP layer operates in one of four roles:

Broadcaster: This is a non-connectable advertising



role that is used to broadcast its data, but cannot form
BLE connections. A typical example of a GAP
broadcaster is iBeacon.

Observer: This is a listening role that scans for



advertisements. It is capable of connections but
cannot initiate one. A typical example of a GAP
observer is a packet sniffer.

Peripheral: This is a connectable advertising role that



operates as a slave after a connection is established.
For example, a heart-rate sensor reporting the
measured heart-rate to a remote device operates as a
GAP peripheral.

Central: This is a GAP role that scans for



advertisements and initiates connections. It operates
as a master after a connection is established. For
example, a mobile device retrieving the heart-rate
measurement from a peripheral heart-rate sensor
operates as a GAP central.

Figure 10 shows an example where a smartphone in

which the heart rate app operates as a GAP central and
the heart-rate sensor operates as a GAP peripheral.

In Figure 10, the heart rate monitoring device operates as the GAP peripheral and implements the heart rate sensor profile,
while the smartphone receiving the data operates as the GAP central and implements the heart rate collector profile.

In this example, the heart rate sensor profile implements two standard services  the heart rate service that comprises three
characteristics (the Heart Rate Measurement Characteristic, the Body Sensor Location Characteristic, and the Heart Rate
Control Point Characteristic) and the Device Information Service. At the link layer, heart rate measurement device is the slave
and the smartphone is the master

The Component supports the SIG-adopted GATT-based profiles and services as well as custom BLE profiles and services,
and it allows various GAP and GATT roles to be configured. The Component generates the necessary code for a particular
profile and service operation, as configured in the GUI, abstracting the underlying BLE stack and hardware configuration so
that you can concentrate on the system design.

The BLE Component also provides profile Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to design BLE solutions without
requiring manual stack-level manipulation. The exception to this is the L2CAP configuration specified in Bluetooth v4.1, which
allows advanced users to configure the L2CAP layer of the stack if desired.

Developing Bluetooth Low Energy Application involves four easy steps. For detailed information, refer to AN94020 – Getting
Started with PRoC™ BLE.

CySmart PC App

The Bluetooth Low Energy CySmart (Figure 12 ) is a Windows-based tool that provides a host emulation software platform for
testing and debugging LE peripheral or sensor applications. The tool provides an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) to
enable customers to configure, test and debug their solutions. The tool is available as an independent software application and
can be launched from the PSoC Creator IDE as shown in Figure 62.

CySmart, along with a Cypress BLE dongle, acts as a master device. The tool supports the Bluetooth 4.1 specification and
can connect to any Bluetooth 4.1 or 4.0 enabled BLE peripheral devices. Comprehensive test scenarios can be created
by configuring the scan, connection and security parameters. The tool provides the ability to analyze advertisement
data and scan response data, and explore the Generic Attribute Profile (GATT) database of peripheral device. For more
information, refer to CySmart User Guide.

CySmart Mobile App

In addition to the PC application, you can download the CySmart mobile app for iOS or Android from the respective app
stores. The apps use the iOS Core Bluetooth framework and Android built-in platform framework for BLE to configure your
BLE-enabled mobile as a BLE central device that can scan and connect to BLE peripheral devices.

The mobile app supports Bluetooth SIG-adopted BLE standard profiles through an intuitive GUI and abstracts the underlying
BLE and characteristic details.

Development Kits and Evaluation Boards

Cypress provides an easy-to-use development kit to help you prototype your EZ-BLE PRoC Module design.

CY8CKIT-042 BLE Pioneer Kit

The CY8CKIT-042 BLE Pioneer Kit shown in Figure 14 is an Arduino Uno-compliant BLE development kit for the PRoC BLE
family of devices, including the CYBLE-022001-00 module. The CY8CKIT-042 BLE kit consists of pluggable BLE modules that
connect to a baseboard. The Pioneer Kit is powered through the USB interface or with a coin cell battery.

The Pioneer baseboard and RF module combination enables you to develop battery-operated low-power BLE designs that
work in conjunction with standard Arduino shields and additional PSoC 4 BLE device capabilities such as the CapSense user
interface on the Pioneer baseboard.

The kit also contains a BLE USB dongle that acts as a BLE master and works with the CySmart application to provide a BLE
master emulation platform on non BLEWindows systems.

Cypress also provides an adapter board for the EZ-BLE PRoC Module to evaluate and develop with the Cypress module
without the need to develop custom hardware.

My First EZ-BLE PRoC Module Design

This section provides you with the step-by-step process for building a simple design with EZ-BLE PRoC Module using PSoC
Creator. We will use a previous example project completed for the PRoC BLE device and reconfigure it to work with the EZ­BLE PRoC Module.

About the Design

This design demonstrates the ―Find Me‖ profile operation using the BLE Component in PSoC Creator. The example uses the
"Find Me" target profile and operates as a BLE server that can communicate to a BLE Client (Smart Phone or PC). It can
operate with another device that uses the "Find Me" locator profile and acts as a BLE client. The "Find Me" target profile uses
an instance of the "Immediate Alert Service" to display alerts when the locater device sends them.

When in discovery mode, the ‗Find Me‘ Target remains visible for BLE clients. The device switches to Deep-Sleep mode
between BLE connection intervals.

For this design, the BLE configuration in Table 4 is used.
Table 4. BLE Design Configuration

This design uses GPIOs for three LEDs to indicate different states, a button switch for wake-up from Deep Sleep, and a BLE
subsystem to enable the ‗Find Me‘ profile through the BLE protocol. The schematic for the design from PSoC Creator is shown
in Figure 22.

The main.c file in the workspace has a template for the main program function. The following main firmware blocks are

System initialization



Bluetooth Low Energy stack event handler



Bluetooth Low Energy service-specific event handler



Main loop and low power implementation



This section discusses details of these blocks with respect to the design configured in the previous section.

System Initialization

When the EZ-BLE PRoC Module is reset or wakes up from the hibernate mode, the firmware needs to perform initialization,
which includes platform initialization, enabling global interrupts, and initializing/starting the BLE Component. Figure 46 shows
the flowchart for system initialization.

As a part of the BLE Component initialization, you must pass the event handler function that will be called to receive events
from the BLE stack. The BLE stack event handler shown in Figure 49 is registered as part of the BLE initialization. If the BLE
Component initializes successfully, the firmware registers the event handler that will be called to receive IAS events and
switches control to the main loop thread.

Figure 47 shows the firmware source code for system initialization.

BLE Stack Event Handler

The BLE stack within the BLE Component generates a list of events to provide the BLE interface status and data to the
application firmware through the BLE stack event handler registered during the CyBle_Start API call. The event handler must
handle basic events from the stack and configure the stack with the application information to successfully establish and
maintain the BLE link. For the ‗Find Me‘ application that you are creating, the BLE stack event handler must process all the
events described in Table 5. The flow chart and the firmware for handling the BLE stack events are shown in Figure 48 and

Getting Started With EZ-BLE™ PRoC™ Module

Bluetooth Low Energy Service Specific Event Handler

The BLE Component also generates events corresponding to each of the services supported by your design through the
service event handler that was registered in the initialization section of the code (IasEventHandler in this example). For the
‗Find Me‘ application that you are creating, the BLE Component will generate Immediate Alert Service (IAS) events that will let
the application know if the ‗Alert Level‘ characteristic has been updated with a new value. Figure 50 and Figure 51 show the
flow chart and firmware for handling BLE IAS events.

Appendix B: Cypress Terms of Art

This section lists the most commonly used terms that you might hear while working with Cypress‘s PSoC family of devices.

PSoC – PSoC is a programmable, embedded design platform that includes a CPU, such as the 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M0, with

both analog and digital programmable blocks. It accelerates embedded system design with reliable, easy-to-use solutions,
such as touch sensing and enables low-power designs.

PSoC 4 BLE – A PSoC 4 IC with an integrated BLE radio that includes a royalty-free BLE protocol stack compatible with

the Bluetooth 4.1 specification.

PSoC Creator – PSoC 3, PSoC 4, and PSoC 5LP Integrated Design Environment (IDE) software that installs on your PC and

allows concurrent hardware and firmware design of PSoC systems, or hardware design followed by export to other popular
IDEs.

Components – Free embedded ICs represented by an icon in PSoC Creator software. These are used to integrate multiple
ICs and system interfaces into one PSoC Component that are inherently connected to the MCU via the main system bus. For
example, the BLE Component creates Bluetooth Smart products in minutes. Similarly, you can use the Programmable Analog
Components for sensors.

Component Configuration Tools – Simple graphical user interfaces in PSoC Creator that embedded in each Component. It
is used to customize the Component parameters and is accessed by right-clicking a Component.

PSoC Programmer – PSoC Programmer is a flexible, integrated programming application for programming PSoC devices.

PSoC Programmer is integrated with PSoC Creator to program PSoC 3, PSoC 4, PRoC, and PSoC 5LP designs.

MiniProg3 – A programming hardware for development purposes that is used to program PSoC devices on your custom

board or PSoC development kits that do not support a built-in programmer.

www.cypress.com Document No.: 001-96841 Rev. ** 53

Appendix C: Code Examples

PSoC Creator includes a large number of code example projects. These
projects are available from the PSoC Creator Start Page, as Figure 69
shows.

Example projects can speed up your design process by starting you off
with a complete design, instead of a blank page. The example projects
also show how PSoC Creator Components can be used for various
applications. Code examples and datasheets are included, as Figure 70
shows.

In the Find Example Project dialog shown in Figure 70, you have several
options:



Filter for examples based on architecture or device family. For EZ­BLE PRoC Module, use the PRoC BLE filter. Most of the PRoC BLE
example projects can reconfigure to work with the EZ-BLE PRoC
Module.



Select from the menu of examples offered based on the Filter
Options. There are more than 20 BLE example projects for you to get
started, as shown in Figure 70.



Review the datasheet for the selection (on the Documentation tab)



Review the code example for the selection. You can copy and paste
code from this window to your project, which can help speed up code
development.



Or create a new project (and a new workspace if needed) based on
the selection. This can speed up your design process by starting you
off with a complete basic design. You can then adapt that design to
your application.
