Bluetooth low energy software stack delivers OADs

Supporting the continued development of Bluetooth low energy, the BLE-Stack 1.3 software offers over-the-air firmware downloads (OAD), which enable updates to CC2540/1 firmware to be downloaded from a central device, such as a phone, tablet or PC onto the CC2540/1 system-on-chip (SoC) directly over the RF link.It also features a unique Boot Image Manager (BIM) which allows multiple firmware stacks to reside on a single CC2540/1 SoC.

BIM enables an end-product to support two different Bluetooth low energy stacks or a single Bluetooth low energy stack and a single 2.4GHz proprietary stack. (Free to all customers using TI’s CC2540/1 Bluetooth low energy SoC family; CC2540DKMINI, CC2540DK and CC2541EMK development kits $99, $299, and $99, respectively; CC2541 SensorTag development kit,$25 — available now)
