Team,
My customer has a question:
I know that W1837 BT supports A2DP and AVRCP. And the BLE 4.2 and higher supports bonding (i.e.) linking to multiple devices instead of just pairing. Our customer wants a solution that supports bonding and has an A2DP and AVRCP profile. So my question specifically is does TI have a way that we can be operating under BLE 4.2 with bonding and then switch to BT. The real problem we have here is that they want to dock a third party device that will be streaming music, to multiple points using the 4.2 bonding capability. But we need to be able to configure data using the AVRCP profile as well accept data from this device from other native apps running on it.
What we are really asking is do you have a way to do this or are there some alternative profiles in BLE that support or replace A2DP and AVRCP? This is kind of an exploratory question since we know that BT has one side of what namely A2DP and AVRCP we need and BLE has another bonding to multiple devices. But please correct me if I am wrong, we can’t operate under both modes simultaneously and even if we could the devices (which are undefined at this time probably don’t). I suspect that we will may need to develop an app that does what we want unless TI has a means for accomplishing this using BLE.
Thanks
Viktorija
