CUSTOM SERIAL CHAT Example

Introduction

**************************** Introduction *********************************

  • The custom serial chat allow you to send and receive data between the Atmel ATBTLC1000 with a supported host platform and the Atmel Smart Connect mobile application.
  • This is a custom profile and application example implemented over GATT.
  • The user can type a message on the Atmel ATBTLC1000 side using the terminal console and send it to the mobile application.
  • Messages typed from the mobile app side are received and displayed on the console terminal at the device side.

Supported Evolution Kit -

  • ATSAML21-XPRO-B + ATBTLC1000 XPRO
  • ATSAMD21-XPRO + ATBTLC1000 XPRO
  • ATSAMG55-XPRO + ATBTLC1000 XPRO
  • ATSAM4S-XPRO + ATBTLC1000 XPRO

Running the Demo -

  • 1. Build and flash the binary into supported evaluation board.
  • 2. Open the console using TeraTerm or any serial port monitor.
  • 3. Press the Reset button.
  • 4. Wait for around 10 seconds for the patches to be downloaded device will initialize and start-up.
  • 5. The device is now in advertising mode.
  • 6. On a BLE compatible iPhone®/Android phone, enable Bluetooth in the Settings page. Start the Atmel Smart Connect App and scan for devices. ATMEL-CSC will be appear among the devices scanned. Click on ATMEL-CSC to connect to supported platform.
  • 7. Once connected, the client side will request for the pairing procedure . The console log provides a guidance for the user to enter the pass-key.
  • 8. After clicking on the Custom Serial Chat icon, the chat screen will appear where the user can type the text that is to be sent to the remote device and also see the text coming from the remote device.
  • 9. Chat text “Hello Atmel” send to remote device.
  • 10. The user can also write the text on the console for supported platform + ATBTLC1000 device and press the ENTER key for transmitting the chat text to the mobile application.

Modules

***************************** Modules **************************************

  • BLE Manger -
    • The Event Manager is responsible for handling the following:
      • Generic BLE Event Handling:-
        • BLE Event Manager handles the events triggered by BLE stack and also responsible for invoking all registered callbacks for respective events. BLE Manager handles all GAP related functionality. In addition to that handles multiple connection instances, Pairing, Encryption, Scanning.
      • Handling Multi-role/multi-connection:-
        • BLE Event Manager is responsible for handling multiple connection instances and stores bonding information and Keys to retain the bonded device. BLE Manager is able to identify and remove the device information when pairing/encryption gets failed. In case of multi-role, it handles the state/event handling of both central and peripheral in multiple contexts.
      • Controlling the Advertisement data:-
        • BLE Event Manager is responsible for generating the advertisement and scan response data for BLE profiles/services that are attached with BLE Manager.
  • BLE Platform Services -
    • Interface Settings -
      • Connect ATBTLC1000 XPRO to SAML21-XPRO-B -> EXT1
