Source for Kinetis BLE ToolBox iPhone/Android?

[kevinsmall]

Is the source for iPhone/Android Kinetis BLE ToolBox published anywhere?  It seems like it would be the easiest way to get started with the mobile side as well but no obvious google searches finds it for me.  And apologies if this has already been addressed but an NXP community search didn't seem to find it either.  Thanks!

Dear NXP,

I would like to use the KW41Z for a application that current uses the LPC11E14 series. 

My customer wants to add BLE support and to have a App.

It would really help to start if the app's source-code was available.

nRF does give the app-sources,.. I'm now considering to use nRF...

I think there are more developers that would really like to have the sources to have a quick-start.

Kinds regards

Tom

Hi Tom,

The source code is available upon request, please contact your local Distributor/NXP person.

Cheers,

Antonio

I was going to ask this question. I bought two KITs (FRDM-KW41Z and FRDM-KW24D512) from NXP and I can't get it into my head that NXP won't release the sources for the app, or even provide code snippets for android development. I am currently trying to recreate it from scratch. I need to write my own android app for a custom LED lamp application my students are building. I have started with Just scanning, connecting, listing services and the characteristics of each service. I want to enable notification of specific characteristics but am stuck, I think because I have not implemented any encryption. Do I need to implement encryption to successfully enable notification from my KIT's heart_rate service with the heart_rate_sensor example?

What I have made so far is just a Debugging type app to just see if things work out and learn best practices. This should be already provided by NXP. The Toolbox app is great for a demo,  but sources would be really awesome. I will push to github Muriukidavid/android · GitHub

Hey David,

I used google's example for BLE to get and display the list of services/characteristics from KW41Z. Had to modify it a bit to be able to enable notifications/indications on the KW41Z. You would also have to modify the code on the KW41Z to handle the notification/indication activation :smileyhappy:.  So i think it would be a very good place for you to start.

Thanks,

Evgeny

Thanks Evgeny.

I will look into it. It's just that the NXP app seems to work so well. I just figured out how to read the battery characteristic, let me see if the rest can just be read the same way.

Log output:

W/BluetoothGatt: onCharacteristicRead() - Device=00:04:9F:00:00:02 handle=25 Status=0

D/onCharacteristicRead: Battery level: 93

am using this code:

private static final UUID Battery_Service_UUID = UUID.fromString("0000180F-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb");
private static final UUID Battery_Level_UUID = UUID.fromString("00002a19-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb");
BluetoothGattService Battservice = gatt.getService(Battery_Service_UUID);
BluetoothGattCharacteristic BattLevel = Battservice.getCharacteristic(Battery_Level_UUID);
@Override
public void onCharacteristicRead(BluetoothGatt gatt,
                                 BluetoothGattCharacteristic
                                         characteristic, int status) {
    if(status==BluetoothGatt.GATT_SUCCESS) {
            Log.d("onCharacteristicRead", "Battery level: " + characteristic.getIntValue(BluetoothGattCharacteristic.FORMAT_UINT8, 0));
    }
}

Problem is, I dont know which UUID's are for what other services

[evgenyerlihman]

You should be able to find the UUIDs in the example code for KW41Z or in the official Bluetooth list

[karfes]

What file specifically? or link to the online resource please

[evgenyerlihman]

MKW41Z_ConnSw_1.0.2\middleware\wireless\bluetooth_1.2.2\host\interface\ble_sig_defines.h

[karfes]

Beautiful. Thanks, couldn't find it easily

I had already found this one :GATT Characteristics | Bluetooth Technology Website

Hi Kevin

No, the source code for the app is not public nor available. Sorry for the inconveniences that this may cause you.

Have a great day,
Jorge Alcala

Hi Jorge Alcala,

Any plans for making the sources available? Or maybe even standalone examples? This would be extremely valuable when evaluating NXP's BLE devices.....

Thanks,

Evgeny
