If you have implemented Bluetooth in a past project, you will know of the many challenges that need to be overcome. This is especially true if your application contains a high level of complexity. The further you dig, the more complex it appears! ClarinoxBlue™ protocol stack was designed by embedded developers for embedded developers. With a simple and flexible approach, the ClarinoxBlue protocol stack enables you to spend more time on your application rather than the inner workings of Bluetooth technology. Designed for Bluetooth Classic (BR/EDR) and Bluetooth Low Energy, our solution addresses the main issues confronted by engineers in Bluetooth projects; lack of flexibility, increasing complexity and difficulty of debugging. The ClarinoxBlue protocol stack excels in flexibility and portability, can successfully manage complexity and simplify debugging efforts, making your next Bluetooth project a whole lot easier!
Obtained for both Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low Energy at Core Specification 5.3
ClarinoxBlue is a developer-friendly software protocol stack, designed exclusively for the development of embedded Bluetooth applications. The stack handles complex applications utilising both multiple profiles and multiple local Bluetooth devices, allowing an application to interact with several local Bluetooth devices simultaneously.
The ClarinoxBlue Bluetooth protocol stack is contained within the ClarinoxSoftFrame™ portable framework, allowing users to develop their applications using C/C++ on a desktop environment (Microsoft Visual Studio or GNU tools) and move directly to the target platform with confidence of compatibility. Combined with the compactness of the protocol stack, this enables use with a number of architectures.
The simplicity of the ClarinoxBlue API greatly reduces application development times. In fact, for most applications, the code written based upon ClarinoxBlue will only be one third of the number of lines required for other stacks. The plain language style also facilitates faster test and debug cycles. Clarinox provided the first multi-profile MP3 streaming application as early as 2004, based on the award winning ClarinoxSoftFrame architecture and ClarinoxBlue protocol stack.
Clarinox Bluetooth Low Energy Stack has advanced to include both connected isochronous streaming and broadcast isochronous streaming, enabling our customers to access the Bluetooth Auracast™ capability. The ClarinoxBlue Bluetooth Low Energy Stack also provides our customers with support for all major GATT-based profiles & services, as well as Mesh networking capabilities, our middleware platform makes it easy for customers to choose and integrate with hardware that fits their requirements.
Our robust stack architecture includes HCI interface options for popular Bluetooth protocols such as SDIO, UART 3-Wire, UART-BCSP, UART-H4 & USB. With the Clarinox Bluetooth Low Energy Stack, customers can also benefit from the built-in protocol analyzer and debugging tool, ClariFi™, for multi-profile and multi-threaded applications. This provides customers with the confidence to create complex Mesh Networks and Bluetooth Low Energy applications, knowing they have access to a powerful debugging software.
In partnership with our key stakeholders, we are actively working towards integrating the latest Bluetooth Core Specification and Bluetooth Low Energy features into our ClarinoxBlue stack, ensuring that our customers have access to the most advanced technology in the industry.
Clarinox Bluetooth Low Energy stack incorporates the latest in mesh networking capabilities, allowing users to create a large-scale network of Bluetooth Low Energy devices communicating to each other in a many-to-many configuration.
The ClarinoxBlue stack supports intuitive Mesh API's and call-back functions for Provisioning procedures and enables users to create scalable networks depending on their requirements. ClarinoxBlue mesh networking is most suited to home automation, industrial, lighting, beaconing and location applications.
The Clarinox Bluetooth Classic stack is our tried & tested Bluetooth solution that has provided many of our customers with sucessful outcomes - we support most of the vast majority of Classic profiles that are available today.
Like our Bluetooth Low Energy stack, ClarinoxSoftFrame platform allows for any easily facilitated change of target device and wirelessly enabled hardware for Bluetooth Classic. Our intuitive API allows embedded developers to spend more time on the overarching logic of their application rather than getting bugged down learning the complexity of Bluetooth Technology.
