BlueCore Utilities in BlueSuite
This section describes the BlueCore utilities incorporated in BlueSuite, which includes the following applications:
BlueFlash
upgrades the BlueCore firmware.
PSTools
edits the PS Keys.
BlueChat2
creates simple ACL and SCO connections (HCI firmware only).
BlueTest
exercises the radio for test purposes.
BTCLI
allows sending HCI commands.
RFCLI
enables RFCOMM primitives to be sent and received by the chip (as well as other protocols).
It also includes examples of the most commonly used features for each of these utilities.
5.1 BlueFlash
BlueFlash is a utility that allows you to download and upload firmware to and from the flash memory on the
Casira kit modules or on your own BlueCore designs.
Important Note:
Do not click
Flash Erase
unless this is your definite intention.
Erasing the flash will remove all Persistent Store settings. Firmware upgrades from the CSR support website
do not contain Persistent Store settings, thus the current settings are preserved. Firmware dumps that you
make do contain Persistent Store settings, therefore, any existing ones will be overwritten if you re-flash
using a previously dumped file.
Flash Erase
should only be used in the event that there may be a problem
with the Persistent Store and you want to reload a previous known working version.
