The BlueNiceCom IV module (BNCIV) is a completely integrated Bluetooth solution, containing Bluetooth radio, antenna and a fully implemented software protocol stack. The module provides reliable Bluetooth data communication links as well as AUDIO communication links. Thus the module supports AUDIO gateway applications (e.g. Headset or Handsfree). The module features point-to-point and point-to-multipoint link management supporting data rates up to 704 kbps. The internal memory supports up to seven active Bluetooth ACL links (data) and one SCO link (AUDIO). BlueNiceCom IV is supplied with an onboard chip antenna.

The BlueNiceCom IV module enables OEMs and designers to easily add wireless Bluetooth communication to their products without the need for RF and antenna design expertise.


Firmware
The firmware supplied within this module offers a complete Bluetooth (v2.0) stack including the following profiles:

• SPP (Serial Port Profile)
• GAP (Generic Access Profile)
• SDAP (Service Discovery Access Profile)

In combination with a host, BlueNiceCom IV additionally supports amongst others the following profiles:

• DUN (Dial up Networking Profile)
• FAX (Facsimile Profile)
• FTP (File Transfer Profile)
• HSP (Headset Profile)
• HFP (Handsfree Profile)
• OPP (Object Push Profile)
• SYNC (Synchronisation Profile)
• BIP (Basic Imaging Profile)
• BPP (Basic Printing Profile)

Depending on the respective application, BlueNiceCom IV can either be linked to a processor via serial UART-interface or directly to a terminal device. Configuration of the module is being effected through a host processor. Depending on the application and pre-parameterisation, BlueNiceCom IV can either be operated as ‘master' module or as stand-alone ‘slave' module. The module supports automatic ‘slave' operation eliminating the need for an external control unit.


Easy-to-use development environment
The Quick-Start Evaluation Kit AMB2300-EV enables genuine quick and easy evaluation and application development, based on the BlueNiceCom IV module.
