Low power Audio Bluetooth™ Module with antenna F2M03ALA

Preliminary datasheet

5 Firmware versions

F2M03 is supplied with Bluetooth stack firmware, which runs on the internal RISC micro controller of the Bluetooth module. This chapter includes an overview of the different options for more in depth information please use separate firmware datasheets provided by Free2move.

All firmware versions are compliant with the Bluetooth specification v2.0. The F2M03 software architecture allows Bluetooth processing to be shared between the internal micro controller and a host processor. Depending on application the upper layers of the Bluetooth stack (above HCI) can execute on-chip or on the host processor.

Running the upper stack on F2M03 module reduces (or eliminates, in the case of a on module application) the need for host-side software and processing time.

The integration approach depends on the type of product being developed. For example, performance will depend on the integration approach adopted. In general Free2move offers four categories of Bluetooth stack firmware:

• Wireless UART; offers a transparent UART interface to the Bluetooth channel. There is no need for

additional drivers or Bluetooth software on the host.

• Embedded module solutions offer an application to run on the module. There is no need for an

external host (E.g. a Bluetooth headset).

• Two-processor solution involving a host and host controller, where the higher layers of the

Bluetooth stack has to be implemented on the host.

• Two-processor embedded solution offers a host with limited resources to gain access to a

Bluetooth stack, with the higher layers on-chip, via a special API.

The protocol layer models for the different Bluetooth stack firmware categories can be represented as shown in the figures below.

Wireless UART

Free2move’s Wireless UART (WU) firmware is intended to replace the serial cable(s) connecting portable and/or fixed electronic devices. Key features are robustness, high configurability, high security, low complexity and low power. The WU firmware is compliant with the Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP) for setting up emulated serial cable connections between connected devices. There is no additional need for drivers or an external host with Bluetooth software when using the WU firmware. When a successful Bluetooth connection is established the data channel and the voice channel can be used simultaneously or separately. All information sent/received at the data/voice interface of the WU unit is exchanged transparently via Bluetooth with the connected remote device.

HCI (Standard Two-Processor Solution)

For the standard two-processor solution, where the split between higher and lower layers of the stack takes place at the HCI, a complete Bluetooth stack is needed in the external host. It is often preferable to use this solution when the host is a personal computer of some description. However, in general this category can include any computing platform with communications capability that is not resource limited. Free2move do not offer the host stack.

Embedded Solution

This version of the stack firmware requires no host processor. All software layers, including application software, run on the internal RISC processor in a protected user software execution environment.

The embedded solution can be used for a single chip Bluetooth product. One example is a cordless headset. However this solution is equally applicable to any small wireless device that would benefit from a single processor solution.

Free2move can offers among others the following single chip solutions upon a custom request*:

• Headset / Hands Free

• Human Interface Device; Mouse, keyboard etc (HID)

• Dial Up Network (DUN)

• Audio Gateway Profile (AGP)

• OBEX

• Onboard application (development of customer specific applications)

*Please consult your reseller for more information about custom firmwares.

Wireless UART architecture

The WU application runs on top of an embedded Bluetooth v2.0 + EDR compliant stack, including protocols up to the RFCOMM layer. Point-to-point connections are supported. This means that a unit running WU can be either a master or slave unit.

The WU firmware offers one asynchronous data channel and one synchronous voice channel, both channels capable of full duplex transmissions.

When a successful Bluetooth connection is established the data channel and the voice channel can be used simultaneously or separately. All information sent/received at the data/voice interface of the WU unit is exchanged transparently via Bluetooth with the connected remote device.

The WU unit is set to operate in a default mode that allows the user to communicate via the asynchronous data channel over Bluetooth, as soon as a successful connection has been established. This can be achieved without sending any configuration commands to the WU firmware. However, as long as there is no Bluetooth connection established, it is possible to configure the WU firmware via hex commands

(described in the document Wireless_UART_protocol) or using a Windows configuration software.

5.1.1 General I/O

General I/O interfaces are used for different purposes between the WU firmware and the Host:

• Asynchronous data interface – configuration of the WU firmware or exchange transparent digital

information between the connected Bluetooth devices.

• Synchronous voice interface – exchange transparent voice information between the connected

Bluetooth devices.

• Bluetooth connectivity PIO interfaces – indication and disconnection of the established Bluetooth

connection.

• Emulate serial handshaking PIO lines interface – DTE or DCE serial handshake emulation between

the connected Bluetooth devices.

To prevent connections or to close the current Bluetooth connection PIO[2] can be set high.

PIO[3] is held low as long as there is no Bluetooth connection. As soon as a successful Bluetooth connection has been established with a remote device, PIO[3] goes high.

PIOs can also be used to emulate serial handshaking lines between the connected Bluetooth devices. Emulation can either be DTE or DCE.

5.1.2 Settings

The default settings allow the user to communicate via Bluetooth, without sending any configuration commands, as soon as a successful connection has been established. Information sent and received on the serial interface of the WU unit at 38400 bps is transmitted transparently between the two connected devices. The default settings are valid as long as the user has made no configuration.

When there is no Bluetooth connection established it is possible to configure the WU firmware via commands sent on the serial interface. All settings changed by the user are stored in persistent memory.

The following serial settings are used for configuration mode and are not configurable:

Parameter Default Value

Baud rate 38400 Data bits 8 Parity None Stop bits 1 Hardware flow control On

To be able to send commands to the Wireless UART firmware, it must be set in Host Controlled Mode

(HCM). As previously described the Wireless UART firmware can only enter HCM when no Bluetooth connection is established.

Once entered HCM there are several commands that can be issued:

• Configuration commands

• Software / Hardware reboot

• Inquiry (search for Bluetooth devices in the neighborhood)

• Pairing (device security - authentication and encryption)

• Advanced configuration commands

• SCO commands

• Information commands

• Control commands

Configuration Commands

There are several settings stored in the Wireless UART firmware that can be read and modified by using the configuration commands.

Examples of these settings are:

• Local Bluetooth name

• Local SDP-service name

• Operating mode

• Serial port settings

• Bluetooth security settings (authentication, encryption)

There are two normal operating modes:

• Connecting mode – Bluetooth master

• Endpoint mode – Bluetooth slave

In Connecting mode the Wireless UART firmware will continuously try to establish a Bluetooth connection to a specified remote Bluetooth device in the neighborhood (Bluetooth master).

In Endpoint mode the Wireless UART firmware may accept connections from remote Bluetooth devices. A connection request will be accepted when the specified rules are fulfilled (Bluetooth slave).

Page 13(13)

Rev: 0

Low power Audio Bluetooth™ Module with antenna F2M03ALA

Preliminary datasheet

Software / Hardware Reboot

This option gives the ability to be able to reboot the module via software commands.

Inquiry

Search for other Bluetooth devices in the neighborhood.

There are three configuration parameters:

• How many seconds the search should be active

• A filter, used when searching for devices of as certain class

• The possibility to include the Bluetooth name of the discovered devices

Pairing

When authentication is enabled, the devices must be paired before a successful connection can be established.

The Wireless UART firmware can either initiate pairing with a remote device or accept pairing requests.

During a pairing PIN codes are exchanged between the local and remote device. A successful pairing requires identical PIN codes. The result of the pairing attempt will be returned to the Host. If pairing was successful, a unique link key has been generated and saved in non-volatile memory. The link key is used in the connection establishment procedure for secure verification of the relationship between the paired devices.

The Wireless UART firmware allows the user to be paired with one device at a time. The last pin code entered and link key generated are saved.

Advanced configuration

Includes among others commands for enabling power save modes, fine tune performance, enabling modem emulation and changing transmit power.

SCO commands

Makes it possible to establish full duplex audio connections between two WU units.
