ST's BlueNRG-MESH Software Development Kit (SDK) is used to create network device interconnection and smartphone application control

Integrated software package to help create smart device networking and corresponding mobile applications

Supports the Bluetooth Technology Alliance SIG official Mesh network specification to ensure the operability of the final product, improve ease of use and market appeal

STMicroelectronics is the world's leading semiconductor manufacturer, serving customers across a wide range of electronic applications. ST's latest Bluetooth wireless network-based software package is used to create smart device interconnections and advance the development of innovative applications based on mobile device control.

The Bluetooth official organization SIG recently released the Bluetooth 5.0 specification, standardizing the Mesh network: interconnection and communication between a large number of devices, and directly interconnected with mobile devices. All smartphones on the market can be connected to devices in the Bluetooth Mesh network without the need for a central gateway or router, making it easier to control intelligent lighting, intelligent buildings, and other IoT applications such as environmental awareness, industrial monitoring. And asset tracking.

The Bluetooth 5.0 specification of the Mesh network provides an industry standard that enables OEMs to create interoperable products that offer users greater flexibility and choice.

ST's BlueNRG-MESH Software Development Kit (SDK) is used to create network device interconnect and smartphone application control programs. So far, this is the only SDK in the market that offers Android, iOS, and embedded system development packages. These three packages provide all the software components engineers need to run applications based on the ST BLE BlueNRG family of chips.

"Bluetooth 5.0 will be a powerful force in the IoT market, and we have invested heavily in developing solutions that support 5.0 new features, such as Mesh networks," said Benedetto Vigna, president of STMicroelectronics Analog, MEMS and Sensors Group. "The addition of BlueNRG-MESH to ST's BlueNRG series will lead a new era in which all smart devices around us, such as smart appliances and lighting switches, can be interconnected and feature rich and user-friendly via smartphones. The application implements safe and convenient control."

The BlueNRG-MESH SDK was demonstrated at the Bluetooth Asia Conference held in Shenzhen in September 2017 (26~27). The promotion plan for the fourth quarter of 2017 has been completed and is available for customers to choose.

Bluetooth Mesh and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) in the latest SIG specification transform Bluetooth into a powerful IoT connection technology with advanced 128-bit AES wireless security for easy access to the smartphone's network. Bluetooth Mesh is part of the all-encompassing Bluetooth 5.0 specification and is ideal for small data packets such as switch control commands, sensor information or device ids. The largest network capacity exceeds 32,000 nodes, allowing messages to propagate throughout the network. In this way, smartphones can interact with all devices on the network, even if they are distributed across large office buildings or factories. An embedded controller such as a central touch panel or the like can also be included in the network.

ST's BlueNRG-MESH SDK enables developers to build Bluetooth Mesh network nodes using BLE SoC BlueNRG-1 or BlueNRG-2, or BLE radio IC BlueNRG-MS. The embedded SDK includes driver layer software such as hardware abstraction layer and board support packages, and middle layer software such as BlueNRG-MESH library and BlueNRG core stack, as well as sensor data sampling and LED lighting application code.

The BlueNRG-1 and BlueNRG-2 integrate Bluetooth wireless and ARM Cortex-M0 microcontrollers to provide a single-chip solution for smart device development. BlueNRG-2 operates at temperatures up to 105 ° C and is ideal for lighting applications. BlueNRG-MS works with a separate host controller, giving developers more flexibility to use ST's BLE wireless solution to add to existing products and leverage the SDK for Bluetooth Mesh.

The Android and iOS development kits provide a core stack and sample applications to help develop smartphone applications for network configuration and device control. In smart lighting applications, you can install, delete or add new lights to the network, as well as group lighting, music presets, gesture control and more.

ST offers complete development hardware, including the BlueNRG-1/2 evaluation board, based on the STM32 Nucleo BlueNRG-MS expansion board, to help simplify product development.
