Supported devices and startup

Hello

We currently have another Bluetooth module we've implemented.

We pair with a device through our software and we send commands from our scripts to test the software and/or hardware. For example the Vodafone STB, we pair with it and then by sending commands test the software. Commands could be ‘left’, ‘1’,…

The problem there is that not every device is supported. For every device we want to pair and communicate with, we must select the correct config file. For a Vodafone STB (SetupBox) we need to select the Vodafone config, for nvidia shield (Android) we need to select the NvidiaShield config and so on… The problem is that we need a config for every device and the device need to be supported by Bluetooth module. AppleTV, Sony PS4 and Xbox One are not supported by them for example. We must wait until they support it and provide us a config file. In the TI product sheets is ‘Several Bluetooth low energy profiles and services’ mentioned for example. Do we need also a specific config for every device? Do you support AppleTV, Sony PS4 and Xbox One?

And what product do we need exactly (Classic and BLE supported)?

Thanks in advance

TI Bluetopia supported standard and custom profiles are at below location -

With regard to STB, since there is no standard profile, it appears all set top box vendors have their own way of doing it, likely using GATT. So, you would need to follow the steps and config scripts provided by the setup box vendor.

Thanks

Thanks for the quick response.

I see that the Bluetooth Classic has for example the 'Audio/Video Remote Control Profile' so we can use that one for controlling a remote control. But the Bluetooth Low Energy doesn't has that profile. So there we need to create it ourselves?

So if we want to test the Sony PS4 and Microsoft Xbox One, we need to write our own profile (with the support of them)?

Is there an evaluation kit we can use to test it?

I believe, every set top box vendor, has their own set of services/profiles to handle remote control. You, would need to get those details and implement on your own.
TI has a Remote control design based on CC2650. You may want to look at it and direct any questions to the CC2650 forum.. Look for CC2650RC-BLEDEV in -
