QN9090- Integration of BLE Stack with additional functionality

[blas_m]

Hello there,

I am trying to integrate a NXP BLE example design with additional functionality not related to the BLE Stack. This means that the BLE is operational but at regular intervals the additional functionality computes other tasks (not linked to BLE over-the-air comms or data).

Most of the documentation I have found related to the QN9090 seems to be related to the BLE Stack:
- BLE Developers Guide
- BLE Host Stack

There is also some documentation related to NXP IPAs for Embedded systems which sometimes include commands seen on the QN9090 example designs but sometimes uses different commands for other products
- MCUXpresso SDK IPA Ref manual
- Connectivity Framework

And finally, there is the ARM manual for the ARM Cortex-M4 CPU which it is integrated into the QN9090 (little reference to it on NXP documentation)
- ARM Cortex-M4 Manual

What would be the best documentation to integrate additional functionality (not BLE Stack related) with a BLE system on the #QN9090? In other words, which APIs should be used for this purpose, the ones from NXP MCUXpresso and Connectivity Framework or the ones from ARM Manual

Thank you Ricardo for the quick answer to this. In addition to the "Connectivity Framework Reference Manual.pdf", are there any examples showing how to use the APIs from this document? Or are there any plans on the near future to release any webinars/example designs/blogs to understand and learn how to use them?

Hello,

We have our BLE examples from the SDK, they integrate some of the Framework Services.

But there are no plans to have something more specific of each Service.

Ricardo

Hello,

Hope you are doing well. If you are planning to integrate other functionalities to a BLE application, the recommendation would be to use the Connectivity Framework, with their Framework Services.

And for documentation, it would be the "Connectivity Framework Reference Manual.pdf" (Path: SDK\docs\wireless\Bluetooth).

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Ricardo
