INEX is now shipping the IOIO board loaded with the V3.11 bootloader so that it’s
ready to go with the latest application update, which adds Open-Accessory support. Open
Accessory will provide improved latency, throughput and jitter. If ADB is enabled on the
Android, ADB will take precedence over Open Accessory. Disable ADB to have IOIO
working over Open Accessory.
IOIO-Q also can communicate with Android device over Bluetooth connection. This
is achieved simply by attaching a standard USB Bluetooth dongle to the board. Not every
possible dongle has been tested, and some are known not to work. However, most simple
ones do work. The bundled Bluetooth dongle in IOIO-BOT kit is tested and work well.
An existing application code written to work over USB does not need to change to
add Bluetooth support, if it is using the IOIOLib Application Framework. However, it will
need to be re-built against the Bluetooth libraries.
Note that Bluetooth is only supported on Android API level 7 ("2.1-update1") and
higher.
