Design Guideline
BLE firmware refers to the set of software that includes the BLE stacks compliant to the Bluetooth Low Energy
protocol. RTBTM01 BLE module has pre-loaded configuration software has the application running on a
standalone MCU (hereafter referred to as Modem mode) although the alternative configuration - one has
is also possible.
8.1 BLE Firmware Brief
RTBTM01 loads the Modem mode BLE firmware by default. For embedded mode BLE firmware, please
contact RFCOM for assistance.

Figure 8-1
RTBTM01 and Host MCU demonstrates the use case of RTBTM01 module. Host MCU
connects to RTBTM01 through serial interface. As promised, rBLE_Host source code would be provided to
customer and together comes with sample code of the application. To have full control of the RTBTM01,
customer just need customize the application, call rBLE API and handle the event notification reported from
rBLE_Host. This could significantly reduce the development cost and speed to market.
