LE Heart Rate Server (HRS) Sample application

Overview

The HRS snippet application shows how to initialize and use the AIROC™ Heart Rate Server library. This snippet implements the GAP peripheral role. On application start, it calls HRS library APIs to register callbacks for receiving HRC requests. HRS allows a client to register/un-register for notifications and to reset Energy expended values in the server.

Once the application receives the BTM_ENABLED event, it loads any bonded keys and enters Limited GAP ADV mode, (High duty GAP ADV mode) for 30 seconds, after which it switches to Low duty GAP ADV mode and remains in this mode for 30 seconds. If the client (HRC) does not attempt connection within the timeout, the application exits from ADV mode. The application includes the Heart Rate Service UUID in its ADV data to allow connections from the HRC device. Push the button once to enter Limited GAP ADV mode whenever the HRC wants to connect. After the connection is established with the HRC, the application calls Library APIs to update GATT connection status, and to process HRC GATT read and write requests for Heart Rate notifications. The application is notified by the library whenever HRC configures heart rate notifications. The application stores the bonded HRC address and notification configuration in NVRAM. This information is used in re-connection, after successful encryption, to start heart rate notifications automatically. The application sends heart rate notifications to HRC every 1 minute, until HRC stops.

Features demonstrated

Initialize and use the AIROC™ HRS library
GATT DB with Heart Rate notification service and characteristics, Device Information Service and characteristics

Instructions

To demonstrate the app, work through the following steps:

Plug the AIROC™ eval board into your computer.
Build and download the application to the AIROC™ board.
Start tracing to monitor the activity (see Kit Guide for details)
Application automatically enters Limited GAP ADV mode.
After connection with HRC, based on HRC requests, start and stop Heart Rate notifications, and reset the energy expended value accumulated during Heart Rate Notification since the last HRC Energy expended reset request.
If HRC is not connected and HRS exited GAP ADV mode, push the application button to enter Limited GAP ADV mode.
For 20721B2 based AIROC™ kits, use the Custom button on audio shield board as application button rather than the button on the base board.

BTSTACK version

BTSDK AIROC™ chips contain the embedded AIROC™ Bluetooth® stack, BTSTACK. Different chips use different versions of BTSTACK, so some assets may contain variant sets of files targeting the different versions in COMPONENT_btstack_vX (where X is the stack version). Applications automatically include the appropriate folder using the COMPONENTS make variable mechanism, and all BSPs declare which stack version should be used in the BSP .mk file, with a declaration such as:

COMPONENTS+=btstack_v1
or:
COMPONENTS+=btstack_v3

Common application settings

Application settings below are common for all BTSDK applications and can be configured via the makefile of the application or passed in via the command line.

BT_DEVICE_ADDRESS

Set the BDA (Bluetooth® Device Address) for your device. The address is 6 bytes, for example, 20819A10FFEE. By default, the SDK will set a BDA for your device by combining the 7 hex digit device ID with the last 5 hex digits of the host PC MAC address.

UART

Set to the UART port you want to use to download the application. For example 'COM6' on Windows or '/dev/ttyWICED_HCI_UART0' on Linux or '/dev/tty.usbserial-000154' on macOS. By default, the SDK will auto-detect the port.

ENABLE_DEBUG

For HW debugging, configure ENABLE_DEBUG=1. See the document AIROC™-Hardware-Debugging for more information. This setting configures GPIO for SWD.

CYW920819EVB-02/CYW920820EVB-02: SWD signals are shared with D4 and D5, see SW9 in schematics.
CYBT-213043-MESH/CYBT-213043-EVAL/CYBT-253059-EVAL: SWD signals are routed to P12=SWDCK and P13=SWDIO. Use expansion connectors to connect VDD, GND, SWDCK, and SWDIO to your SWD Debugger probe.
CYBT-223058-EVAL/CYW920835M2EVB-01/CYBT-243053-EVAL/CYBLE-343072-EVAL-M2B/CYBLE-333074-EVAL-M2B/CYBLE-343072-MESH/Vela-IF820-INT-ANT-DVK/Vela-IF820-EXT-ANT-DVK: SWD signals are routed to P02=SWDCK and P03=SWDIO. Use expansion connectors to connect VDD, GND, SWDCK, and SWDIO to your SWD Debugger probe.
CYBT-263065-EVAL/CYBT-273063-EVAL: SWD signals are routed to P02=SWDCK and P04=SWDIO. Use expansion connectors to connect VDD, GND, SWDCK, and SWDIO to your SWD Debugger probe.
CYBT-343026-EVAL/CYBT-353027-EVAL/CYBT-333047-EVAL: SWD signals are routed to P11=SWDCK and P15=SWDIO. Use expansion connectors to connect VDD, GND, SWDCK, and SWDIO to your SWD Debugger probe.
CYBT-413055-EVAL/CYBT-413061-EVAL: SWD signals are routed to P16=SWDCK and P17=SWDIO. Use expansion connectors to connect VDD, GND, SWDCK, and SWDIO to your SWD Debugger probe.
CYW989820EVB-01: SWDCK (P02) is routed to the J13 DEBUG connector, but not SWDIO. Add a wire from J10 pin 3 (PUART CTS) to J13 pin 2 to connect GPIO P10 to SWDIO.
CYW920719B2Q40EVB-01: PUART RX/TX signals are shared with SWDCK and SWDIO. Remove RX and TX jumpers on J10 when using SWD. PUART and SWD cannot be used simultaneously on this board unless these pins are changed from the default configuration.
CYW920721M2EVK-02/CYW920721M2EVB-03: The default setup uses P03 for SWDIO and P05 for SWDCK. Check the position of SW15 if using JLink with the DEBUG connector.
CYW920706WCDEVAL: SWD debugging requires fly-wire connections. The default setup P15 (J22 pin 3 or J24 pin 1) for SWDIO and P11 (J23 pin 5 or J22 pin 4) for SWDCK.
CYW920736M2EVB-01: SWD hardware debugging requires fly-wire connections. The only option is using P14 for SWDCK and P15 for SWDIO. These route to Arduino header J2, A1 and A0. These can be fly-wired to Arduino header J4, D4 and D5. From there the signals connect to the KitProg3 SWD bridge. In addition, the debug macros (SETUP_APP_FOR_DEBUG_IF_DEBUG_ENABLED and BUSY_WAIT_TILL_MANUAL_CONTINUE_IF_DEBUG_ENABLED) are placed in sparinit.c in code common to all applications for this device. Most applications for this device call bleprofile_GPIOInit() in subsequent code, overwriting the SWD pin configuration. To use hardware debugging after the call to bleprofile_GPIOInit(), place the debug macros in code after that call.
CYW943012B2EVK-01: SWD signals are shared with D4 and D5.
CYW920820M2EVB-01 & CYW920819M2EVB-01: The default setup uses P03 for SWDIO and P02 for SWDCK. Check the position of SW15 if using JLink with the DEBUG connector.
CYW989820M2EVB-01: SWD hardware debugging requires a fly-wire connection to use P14 for SWDIO. P2 is connected directly to SWDCK / ARD_D4. Fly-wire P14 / ARD_D8 on J3.10 to J4.3 / ARD_D5 to connect SWDIO.
SWD hardware debugging is not supported on the following:
- CYW920721M2EVK-01
- CYW920835REF-RCU-01
- CYW9M2BASE-43012BT
- CYBT-423054-EVAL
- CYBT-423060-EVAL
- CYBT-483056-EVAL
- CYBT-483062-EVAL
- CYW955572BTEVK-01
- CYW943022BTEVK-01

DIRECT_LOAD

BTSDK chips support downloading applications either to FLASH storage or to RAM storage. Some chips support only one or the other, and some chips support both.

If a chip only supports one or the other, this variable is not applicable, applications will be downloaded to the appropriate storage supported by the device.

If a chip supports both FLASH and RAM downloads, the default is to download to FLASH, and the DIRECT_LOAD make variable may be set to 1 in the application makefile (or in the command line make command) to override the default and download to RAM.

Currently, the following chips support both FLASH and RAM download and can set DIRECT_LOAD=1 if desired:

CYW20835
CYW20706
