Applications
7.1
Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU)
Device Firmware Upgrade allows firmware to be upgraded over the same transport as the HCI (i.e., USB or
UART). It is a USB standard and full details of its operation can be found at
. BlueCore can tunnel
the same protocol over the UART transport.
Allowing firmware upgrades can potentially initiate unwanted or accidental downloads (such as introducing a
computer virus or by a user accidentally downloading firmware intended for another manufacturer’s module). To
protect against this, CSR offers digital signing for both original firmware and DFU upgrades. Only upgrade files
with the same signature as the original firmware can be downloaded to flash memory.
Firmware and documentation updates for DFU are available on the CSR support website.
7.2
BlueLab Solo On-chip Software Development Kit
BlueCore can run upper stack layers and small applications on-chip. BlueLab Solo is an introduction to CSR’s
development tool and is a complete set of tools with programming examples. There is no charge for upper stack
layers when run on chip. See the CD ROM incorporating BlueLab. Installation and additional documents are
contained in this CD ROM.
