AIROC™ Bluetooth® Connect App — Bluetooth® LE Test and Debug Tool

Overview

AIROC™ Bluetooth® Connect App is a Bluetooth™ LE host emulation tool for Windows PCs. The tool provides an easy-to-use Graphical User Interface (GUI) to enable customers to test and debug their Bluetooth LE peripheral applications.

Note: The AIROC™ Bluetooth® Connect App requires a Infineon BLE dongle to emulate a host device in the GAP central role.

The tool supports device discovery, connection establishment, pairing and bonding, and provides the ability to access the Generic Attribute Profile (GATT) server database for the PRoC™ BLE, PSoC™4 BLE and the PSoC™6 BLE devices as well as the EZ-BLE family of modules.

AIROC™ Bluetooth® Connect App 1.3 offers following features:

  • Support for PSoC™ 6 BLE Over-the-air (OTA) firmware update
  • Support for OTA update of devices with bootloader security key
  • Support for CY5677 AIROC™ Bluetooth® Connect App BLE 4.2 USB dongle update to replace PRoC™ BLE device with PSoC™ 4 BLE device
  • Bug fixes

Supported Kits
