## Hardware setup
This example uses the kit’s default configuration. See the user guide to ensure that the kit is configured correctly.
## Using the code example
Create the project and open it using one of the following:
<details><summary><b>In Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox&trade; software</b></summary>
1. Click the **New Application** link in the **Quick Panel** (or, use **File** > **New** > **ModusToolbox&trade; Application**). This launches the [Project Creator](https://www.infineon.com/ModusToolboxProjectCreator) tool.
2. Pick a kit supported by the code example from the list shown in the **Project Creator - Choose Board Support Package (BSP)** dialog. This kit should be AIROC&trade; LE CYW20829 Keyboard.
When you select a supported kit, the example is reconfigured automatically to work with the kit. To work with a different supported kit later, use the [Library Manager](https://www.infineon.com/ModusToolboxLibraryManager) to choose the BSP for the supported kit. You can use the Library Manager to select or update the BSP and firmware libraries used in this application. To access the Library Manager, click the link from the **Quick Panel**.
You can also just start the application creation process again and select a different kit.
If you want to use the application for a kit not listed here, you may need to update the source files. If the kit does not have the required resources, the application may not work.
3. In the **Project Creator - Select Application** dialog, choose the example by enabling the checkbox.
4. (Optional) Change the suggested **New Application Name**.
5. The **Application(s) Root Path** defaults to the Eclipse workspace which is usually the desired location for the application. If you want to store the application in a different location, you can change the *Application(s) Root Path* value. Applications that share libraries should be in the same root path.
6. Click **Create** to complete the application creation process.
For more details, see the [Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox&trade; software user guide](https://www.infineon.com/MTBEclipseIDEUserGuide) (locally available at *{ModusToolbox&trade; software install directory}/docs_{version}/mtb_ide_user_guide.pdf*).
</details>
<details><summary><b>In command-line interface (CLI)</b></summary>
ModusToolbox&trade; software provides the Project Creator as both a GUI tool and the command line tool, "project-creator-cli". The CLI tool can be used to create applications from a CLI terminal or from within batch files or shell scripts. This tool is available in the *{ModusToolbox&trade; software install directory}/tools_{version}/project-creator/* directory.
Use a CLI terminal to invoke the "project-creator-cli" tool. On Windows, use the command line "modus-shell" program provided in the ModusToolbox&trade; software installation instead of a standard Windows command-line application. This shell provides access to all ModusToolbox&trade; software tools. You can access it by typing `modus-shell` in the search box in the Windows menu. In Linux and macOS, you can use any terminal application.
The "project-creator-cli" tool has the following arguments:
Argument | Description | Required/optional
---------|-------------|-----------
`--board-id` | Defined in the `<id>` field of the [BSP](https://github.com/Infineon?q=bsp-manifest&type=&language=&sort=) manifest | Required
`--app-id` | Defined in the `<id>` field of the [CE](https://github.com/Infineon?q=ce-manifest&type=&language=&sort=) manifest | Required
`--target-dir`| Specify the directory in which the application is to be created if you prefer not to use the default current working directory | Optional
`--user-app-name`| Specify the name of the application if you prefer to have a name other than the example's default name | Optional
<br />
The following example clones the "[mtb-example-btstack-freertos-cyw20829-keyboard](https://github.com/Infineon/mtb-example-btstack-freertos-cyw20829-keyboard)" application with the desired name "KeyboardSolution" configured for the *CYW920829-KEYBOARD* BSP into the specified working directory, *C:/mtb_projects*:
```
project-creator-cli --board-id CYW920829-KEYBOARD --app-id mtb-example-btstack-freertos-cyw20829-keyboard --user-app-name KeyboardSolution --target-dir "C:/mtb_projects"
```
**Note:** The project-creator-cli tool uses the `git clone` and `make getlibs` commands to fetch the repository and import the required libraries. For details, see the "Project creator tools" section of the [ModusToolbox&trade; software user guide](https://www.infineon.com/ModusToolboxUserGuide) (locally available at *{ModusToolbox&trade; software install directory}/docs_{version}/mtb_user_guide.pdf*).
To work with a different supported kit later, use the [Library Manager](https://www.infineon.com/ModusToolboxLibraryManager) to choose the BSP for the supported kit. You can invoke the Library Manager GUI tool from the terminal using `make library-manager` command or use the Library Manager CLI tool "library-manager-cli" to change the BSP.
The "library-manager-cli" tool has the following arguments:
Argument | Description | Required/optional
---------|-------------|-----------
`--add-bsp-name` | Name of the BSP that should be added to the application | Required
`--set-active-bsp` | Name of the BSP that should be as active BSP for the application | Required
`--add-bsp-version`| Specify the version of the BSP that should be added to the application if you do not wish to use the latest from manifest | Optional
`--add-bsp-location`| Specify the location of the BSP (local/shared) if you prefer to add the BSP in a shared path | Optional
<br />
Following example adds the CYW920829-KEYBOARD BSP to the already created application and makes it the active BSP for the app:
```
library-manager-cli --project "C:/mtb_projects/KeyboardSolution" --add-bsp-name CYW920829-KEYBOARD --add-bsp-version "latest-v4.X" --add-bsp-location "local"
library-manager-cli --project "C:/mtb_projects/KeyboardSolution" --set-active-bsp APP_CYW920829-KEYBOARD
```

## Design and implementation
### Steps to use the keyboard application
1. Use MTB or via command line to build and program your application.
2. The HID keyboard starts advertising as "IFX BLE Keyboard" at high duty for 60 seconds followed by low duty for 30 seconds, and then the advertisements are turned OFF.
3. When the advertisements are OFF, press connect button or any key on the keyboard to start advertisements and get them discovered by peer devices.
4. After the keyboard is connected to the host and kept idle for more than 10 minutes, it disconnects from the host and moves to a deepsleep state to save battery life.
The keyboard will come out of this deepsleep state on any button press events and start Bluetooth&reg; LE advertisement to get discovered and attempt to connect to the host device again.
5. When battery capacity is less than 10 percent, the keyboard gives a low battery alert by blinking the led ON for 500 ms and OFF for 3 seconds.
6. When the battery capacity reaches 1 percent, the keyboard goes to hibernate mode. To come out of this hibernate state, remove the batteries and insert new batteries to power cycle the keyboard.
**Note**: Power cycle the device after programming in order to enter the DS-RAM power mode.
### Steps to enable OTA
Refer [OTA_README](./app_bt_ota/OTA_README.md)
### Testing on Windows 10
1. Use the slider switch at the bottom side to power ON the keyboard.
2. To pair the keyboard with a new host device, press and hold the connect button next to the slider switch for three seconds to start the undirected Bluetooth&reg; LE advertisement. Alternatively, press and hold the Fn key + Num 1/2/3 to start the undirected Bluetooth&reg; LE advertisement.
3. Navigate to Windows 10 Settings and click on **Devices** as shown below. <br/>
<img src="images/windows_bt_settings.jpg" width="100%">
4. Click on **Add Bluetooth or Other device**. Ensure your device is advertising at this time. <br/>
<img src="images/windows_add_bt_device.jpg" width="100%">
5. **IFX BLE Keyboard** will be listed in the device discovery. After you click on the device, Windows initiates pairing and connection. <br/>
<img src="images/keyboard_detected.jpg" width="100%">
6. Displays a random 6-digit PIN, which the user has to enter on the keyboard. After successful authentication, Windows shows a notification that **Windows is setting up a device**. Windows takes a few seconds to exchange link keys. <br/>
<img src="images/keyboard_passkey.jpg" width="100%">
7. After connecting, displays the following notification on Windows. <br/>
<img src="images/keyboard_connected.jpg" width="50%">
You can now use the keyboard to press keys and use all the functionalities.
The keyboard can be used in three OS modes- Android, Windows, and iOS.
### Testing on Android
1. Use the slider switch at the bottom side to power ON the keyboard.
2. To pair the keyboard with a new host device, disconnect the keyboard from the current host device if connected to any. Then press and hold the connect button next to the slider switch for 3 seconds to start the undirected Bluetooth&reg; LE advertisement.
3. Navigate to Bluetooth&reg; in Settings. Scan for Bluetooth&reg; devices
4. "IFX BLE Keyboard" will be listed under available devices. Tap on it to initiate a pairing request. Displays a random 6-digit passkey, which the user has to enter on the IFX keyboard. After successful authentication, the keyboard will be ready to use.
### Testing on iOS
1. Use the slider switch at the bottom side to power ON the keyboard.
2. To pair the keyboard with a new host device, disconnect the keyboard from the current host device if connected to any. Then press and hold the connect button next to the slider switch for 3 seconds to start the undirected Bluetooth&reg; LE advertisement.
3. To enable external HID devices to function, users need to enable *Assistive Touch* from Accessibility settings.
4. Navigate to Bluetooth&reg; in Settings. Scan for Bluetooth&reg; devices. "IFX Keyboard" will be listed under available devices. Tap on it to initiate a pairing request. Displays a random 6-digit passkey, which the user has to enter on the IFX keyboard. After successful authentication, the keyboard will be ready to use.
### Switching host devices
1. The keyboard supports switching three host devices. This can be switched as follows.
Fn Key + Key 1 -> Device 1
Fn Key + Key 2 -> Device 2
Fn Key + Key 3 -> Device 3
To switch to a different host device, press the Fn key + Numeric key 1/2/3.
2. The keyboard will start discoverable mode undirected advertisement if no previous host is connected to the selected channel.
3. The keyboard will start connectable mode undirected advertisement if a previous host device was paired already in the selected channel.
4. To change the current channel to a new host, press and hold the Connect button for 3 seconds. This starts undirected advertisement and a new host device can be paired to the selected channel.
5. Alternatively, press the Fn key + Numeric key 1/2/3 and hold for 3 seconds to start the undirected advertisement on the channel.
### Switching OS mode
1. The keyboard provides an option to switch its mode to iOS/Android/Windows. Depending on the mode selected, the functionality of Fn keys varies as shown in the following table.
